    YOU are the ladies I have been looking for!!!

    You all sound and appear so successful in what you've been doing here.

    Weights scare me. They shouldn't, I know. But they do.
    I am almost a full year post-partum and have focused on weight loss, during which time I've been marginally successful. With 1.5 weeks to go until that year is up, I have shred 55lbs.

    Now, I feel like I still have 25-30lbs to go(al), using the arbitrary scale number as a gauge. I feel I need to start with the weights.

    Blah blah, right?

    I NEED A LADY MENTOR!

    If any of you feel up to assisting me come up with a plan, please please please please message me privately. I understand that doing so in such a capacity can be time consuming, but I would be eternally grateful. I've already learned so much in my 10 months with MFP: I feel like this is the next step.

    Sorry to jack your thread, but you've already gathered the group I'd be calling out to :)

    Thanks ahead, and keep lifting big things! xo
