This is from my profile, but I didn't know what else to say since I've already posted it there.
My name is Stephanie. I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, an employee, and an addict (to food). I challenged myself to lose 100 lbs back in January of 2012, and I managed to lose 85 of those 100 lbs by April of 2013, right before I got married. That's when I lost my drive to lose weight. Not because I got married, but because a week after, I found out I was expecting. So, pregnancy and weight gain were my future at that point.
After my daughter was born, I spent several months trying to get a handle on this mommy-thing. It's a work in progress, but one thing I've found is that I'm not going to get back to my pre-pregnancy self and continue towards that initial 100-lb goal if I don't do something about it. I have to take control of my future. So, here I am, working hard to get everything to fit (again)!
