    Good luck everyone in our weight loss journeys..

    I know most don't talk about numbers, but I was about 155 when I got pregnant, I should have lost a couple of pounds before, but I did work out up to 25 - 30 weeks into my pregnancy with a pregnancy dvd, it was nice, but I didn't really pay attention to my eating, during the summer, with all the cookouts its hard for me. And according to my doc, I was 215 the day before I had a c-section for my son. He was born August 2010, in January 2011 I got serious, and lost 30 pounds... I was 182 this time last year, I am currently at 152, but not a fit 152, kind of flubby 152..this year, I plan on getting fit!! OH, I could go on and on..

    But feel free to add me.. It's nice to have a been there, done that kind of person on the team!

    Hey ladies, I am trying to get pregnant like NOW, lol. I don't have much time because my goal was to have baby and weight off by 40 and I am turning 39 in March. So we are actively trying to make it happen. I already have a busy 2 y o. When I got pregnant with him, I was 228 and only gained 25lbs during the pregnancy. This took me to my biggest weight ever of 253. I had a C-section and with some dieting and some exercise I am currently down to 203. I would love, love, love to at least reach my first goal of 195 in the near future. I am figuring that it would at least hopefully keep me under my initial weight before I had my son. Good luck to all and add me if you like. I AM THE BEST CHEERLEADER!!!

    It's so nice to see other women with the same goals! DH and I have a 4 month old son, and want to try for another soon, but I definitely need to get rid of the weight from this one first :)

    Add me if you like :)
