Hello MFP!!!!

I started my weight loss journey after looking at myself in a picture 3 months after my son was born. I --I wanted to be healthy for him, my husband, and myself. So I joined MFP and lost 27lbs from Sept 2011-Nov 2011! Then I got pregnant again! I maintained a healthy lifestyle during my pregnancy (not cutting calories!) and was able to maintain my weight during the whole pregnancy! Baby girl was born and I'm ready to continue to get healthy for my family!

I can't wait to get the go ahead from my doctor to start exercising again! 2 more weeks to let myself fully heal...I'm biting at the bit!

I'm looking forward to it! I love the community here and I'm hoping that you'll add me! Sadly I had closed my other account, but if you remember MrsMellyMac then please add me!! I'm up for challenges and I love seeing your success stories! I'm a true cheerleader and I'll be there every step of the way for you! I'm only asking for friends that will do the same for me! I'm looking for all sorts of people, but especially moms and moms who are nursing!

Here are pictures of my previous journey!

A week after having the baby, I was weighing -2lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. I did not gain the whole first half of my pregnancy, and when I started to gain, I only gained a total of 7lbs!!
