I wanted to share a pic because I know it is helpful to some that are on their journey. I am NOT done losing and have several goals in mind still. I would like to see 150 by my son's first birthday and eventually see 140 as a final weight!! I have counted carbs... I eat 60g of carbs for each meal and 30g of carbs for each of 3 snacks. I have given up sweets except for an occasional treat. I drink diet sodas and LOTS of water. I do minor exercise.. like walking 20 min here and there or Pilates to tone some muscles. I hope this is an encouragement to someone out there! You can do it!! Take it one day at a time!

    Keep it up... it will happen... it is slow, but SO worth it. You will feel so much better when you are lighter. I promise! Worth every bite you don't take!
