Hello my fellow MFPers...

I've been waiting on the moment where I could notice a great difference to even post my progress here.
It was SOOO hard to find a pre-pregnancy picture at my highest weight because I was hiding from cameras. I went from a can't stay out of a pic person to a "wasn't she here? why isn't she in any of the pictures?" chick.

I hibernated the whole year in 2011.
My husband and I went to Miami for our 1 year anniversary and the only pics I kept were headshots. I can't even find the SD card the others are on.
I became pregnant in August of 2011 and it was all i needed to "make me feel better." Now, I'm not just fat...I'm pregnant. The only thing is, pregnancy made me even bigger and so uncomfortable that I told myself I COULD NOT LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE. It's like I hated my body while pregnant so much that I had a new appreciation for it afterwards!!

I had my son in June 2012 and by August I'd lost all my baby weight (20 lbs). After seeing how excited I was to accomplish that, my husband put me on to MFP and here I am:

Here's what I lost:
Weight -39 lbs
Bust -3.5 in
Neck -1.0 in
Waist -5 in
Bicep -1.5 in
Hips -4 in

I'm now 266lbs
