Hello! I started my journey about 8 months ago after having my son and today I had a small victory. My first goal was to lose the baby weight (I gained 23lbs during pregnancy). I was lucky because most of that weight came off with very little effort on my part...YAY!!! After returning to my pre-pregnancy weight, I looked way different than before and still wasn't in my size 12 pants so I decided to keep going. So my new goal is 180 lbs. I'm only 4 lbs away...and this morning, I was able to put on my size 12's!!!! I am so excited! The weight has been coming of so slowly but I'm finally almost there!!! Just thought I'd share. Have a great day! :happy:

    good for you!! that's really exciting. i started at 247 in a size 20 and am now 209 only in an 18 still :( although they are way loose. 16's just are a bit too snug to wear with pride!! it feels so good to get into a smaller size. i'm trying again at under 200. i have heard the smaller you get, the faster you drop sizes. we'll see!! congratulations on the weight loss!!!

    The pregnancy weight was easy for me to drop to, it's the love weight I out on before I got pregnant that's been the hardest to get off!!! Congrats. And good luck!!!!
