New here and trying to start fresh

Options
I never know what to say on these introduction forums. I'm 24 years old and have gained a decent amount of weight since my son was born a year and a half ago. I had gestational diabetes and kept up with my nutrition so well that I was the smallest I'd been in a while about a week after he was born. I, of course, got lazy and to be honest, fattening foods are cheaper.

My main goal is to be healthy for my family. My husband is very supportive (he is in great shape) and never criticizes. I only feed my son foods that are good for him and it's about time I follow my own advice. I AM going to lose 60 pounds and I am going to do it the right way and start a new lifestyle.
