It isn't a lot really but it is a victory for me! I gave birth in October 09, I had been trying to lose weight before I got pregnant and had lost 50lbs. When I did give birth I had gained it all back! I was mad but it was my fault for not keeping my diet in check while pregnant and vowed to lose it and more. I got down to 264lb and held there for several months until last month when I joined this site. Tracking my calories has allowed me to get down to 250, back to my pre-pregnancy weight! I am so happy to be back to that weight, I can't wait to drop more and continue to get healthier :D

    Congratulations! Losing any amount is a big victory. I've lost 13 lbs and I worked hard for 'em so I'm thrilled. Keep on the good work and just take it one day at a time, one pound at a time. You'll get there. :drinker:
