New to MFP after 57lb loss

_Aimée_

Hi everyone, new here. I'm 22 from the UK with a 1 year old son and started my weight loss journey a year ago after he was born. I was about 20lbs overweight when I conceived and was 50lbs heavier then pre-preg weight after I had given birth. When I first put on my 'normal' clothes I looked at myself in the well lit, full length hospital mirror and was disgusted with what I saw.

Since then I've lost (nearly!) 60lbs and I'm so close to having a healthy BMI. I'd like to get to 154lbs (11stone in UK) and then see how I feel. I'm tall at 5'10, long limbs and broad across the shoulders and I'm naturally muscular, I think I would look ill if I went any lower but we shall see. I know underneath the fat I have the potential to be a striking beautiful woman. I've just got to work for it.

I swim 4-6 times a week and am currently on week 1 of hip hop abs, really trying to blast through the last of this fat. I'd like to reach goal weight by Christmas which is more than achievable but I'm taking the family to a festival end of July and will see friends I haven't seen for years, I want to look great!!
