New on MFP & going good so far!

Hey everyone My name is Amanda. I am 26 years old & a mother of 2 boys ( Jayce 6 & Joey 13 months), I have been married to my husband now for going on 3 years. Our first 2 years of marriage was spent apart due to deployment and traveling due to the Army. My husband made it home 3 days before our son was born in March of 2012. I am still trying to lose the baby weight ( Plus more). So far I started my calorie counting journey on Saturday- I have lost 9 lbs so far by sticking to between 1400 & 1500 calories a day & drinking only water. I will allow myself a coke if I really want one with a meal, I just make sure I make room with my calories. I have heard ppl say that losing this much in such a short amount of time is unhealthy, but I am eating a decent amount of calories a day. I am hoping to lose about 25 more for summer so I can fit back into my pre-pregnancy clothes and favorite swimsuit :-) Looking forward to this lifestyle change and hoping to make friends along the way! Thanks for taking the time to read!
