In my 30s and need to lose BABY WEIGHT plus some!

I joined MFP a little over a month ago, had my first baby on 3/19/12 - was quite overweight before having baby, but pregnancy gave me an excuse to PURGE!! I kept being told that nursing my baby would make that weight just fall right off, yeah right! It made me ravenous most of the day. My 3 month maternity leave was filled with lots of food, having had a c-section I was limited to how much exercise I could do. Well, I put it off longer, and longer, and longer and when I was wearing a size 1x and weighing just short of 200lbs I realized it's time to MOVE MY *kitten*!
So I changed my lifestyle. My husband is living healthy along with me, though he is not a fan of calorie counting. For me, it's such a lifesaver. Counting calories keeps me in check. I've purchased a treadmill, an indoor grill and a new attitude. Since 1/2 I have lost 9 lbs and want to lose about 50 by end of year.
Any other mommies out there that want to be mutual support?
