Hi all! I am Nicole, a 26 year old mom to 2 children. I have a 3 year old son named Mason and a 6 month old daughter named Madilynn. I have been married to the love of my life for 3 years but he has had my heart for 12. I've been struggling with weight for as long as I can remember. In 2008, after the birth of my son I got serious and began losing weight the healthy way (ie move more eat less!) for the first time ever. Within 9 months I shed 90 lbs and maintained until I got pregnant in December 2009. I gained 50 lbs (40 of it pregnancy related, 10 I'll blame on the holidays lol) I took off 25 or so of the pregnancy pounds within 2 weeks of having my daughter and I am now still struggling to talk off the weight and get to my goal weigh of 150 lbs.

I have a food scale and I use it to weigh out all of my portion sizes.
I weigh myself everyday and have for the past 2 years, it's a habit I can't break.
I am nursing so I added 300 calories to the calorie goal of 1480 that I was given.
