I have never posted on here yet but LOVE reading all of your success stories! I had my second child in the end of sept last year. With both of my pregnancies I gained 70 lbs! With my first I lost if all myself and was determined to do it all again! 8 weeks ago I joined a local body transformation program with around 10 lbs hanging around from my latest pregnancy... Thats when I joined My fitness pal. My class was amazing and I was so happy to do it because it gave me much more education on food and ratios of carbs, fat, protein. I feel so much more ready to make this my lifestyle and not just a diet! So in the past 8 weeks here are my successes:

lbs lost - 8
inches lost (hips, navel, thigh, calf, arm) total of 13
%body fat reduced - 4%!
% muscle gained - 1 %

I dont really have a "before pic" so here is my pic from pregnancy the day I had my son and then a pic from last night! Im 3 lbs from my "pre pregnancy weight" but feel like I can do so much more! (hopefully the pics will work!)
