Hi everyone!

I wanted to post my success story when I reached my goal of losing 100lbs, but decided that I better post now! I started my journey to a new healthier me on January 13th of this year. In 6 months of giving this my all, meaning logging every bite, exercising regularly and making healthy choices....I have lost 94 lbs!!!

Had I believed in myself before the way I do now, I don't think I ever would have gotten as heavy as I did. My life has changed so much, I can't even begin to describe the increase in energy I have to play with my kids and fully enjoy my life as opposed to sitting on the sidelines and watching as life passed me by! My self confidence has exploded and I am just such a happy person now, I know now that I will never allow myself to lose control of my weight again! Which is good, because my husband and I decided to start trying for baby #3....and unlike before when I was heavy and it took a while to get pregnant, this time it happened immediately!!!!!!

I have been maintaining my weight, though I have increased my calories a bit for the baby and although I feel nauseous I feel like I can have a really healthy pregnancy and I am so excited! I know what I have to do to fuel my body and feed my growing baby, but I also know that I can stay fit and I don't have to gain 75 lbs, like I did with each of the first two....YIKES!!! So with my doctor keeping me in check, I will continue with my new lifestyle, I couldn't imagine living any other way!!!

So you won't be seeing the scale going down for me for quite a while, but it doesn't scare me....I look forward to a healthy happy pregnancy and I know that I will reach my 100 lb loss after my baby is born!! I just wanted to share my story before I start watching the scale go up ever so slowly over the next 7 months!!!

I wish you all the best of success with your journeys to healthier happier people!!! I'll be keeping an eye on you!!!

Congrats, you are truly an inspiration for those of us trying to lose the weight. I, myself am giving myself small goals to reach because the large goals just scare me and I am afraid that I won't be able to make them. However, hearing your story makes me think that I can do it too.

Again congrats on the weight loss as well as your upcoming healthy baby.
