This post is a LONG time coming and I am so very proud to write it!

May 25th 2003 I walked out of the hospital with my sweet newborn baby boy at 210 pounds. Roughly 9 months prior to that I found out that I was pregnant on the very day that I had reached 163 pounds...

Well, TODAY September 7, 2012 I weighed in at ONE-HUNDRED-SIXTY-THREE pounds. Just 1/2 pound from now I will be at the absolutely lowest weight I have ever been in my adult life! If I am going to be honest, probably the lowest weight that I have been since the 6th grade!

Decided to blog it as well as forum post it... It really is THAT big of a deal to me! Thank you MFP friends and members!!! Your support, encouragement, stories, and more have all helped to keep me focused and motivated to stay on track and make this possible!
:heart:

    What a victory you are celebrating and please by all means reward yourself for all your hard work getting there. With a non-food item of course though. Happy for you.

    Congrats! This is great news! We are very similar. I started at 204 and now I'm at 165. Of course I didn't have baby weight just overweight. I hope we both make our goals and maintain for a lifetime. Kiss your precious baby for me. Very proud of you.
