This is my first time making a post so I'm all nervous haha
Next month is the 1 year anniversary of finding MFP (and fitnessblender.com)
When I started on here i was about 250 and 5 months post-preggo. (I was 290 at delivery) I am now 182 (185 on my fat days) and my goal is 160. I just followed the marcos (okay, maybe not the carbs one all the time. I freaking love bread) and did the free Fitness Blender videos. A couple months ago I started focusing more on weight training, i only have 2 5lbs weights and a 15 lbs barbell (and some kettlebells lying around) and I do all my workouts at home with my crazy *kitten* baby running around. This is from delivery to July 4th (Baby's birthday) (195 lbs)

    Great work! I know a lot of people that use their baby as an excuse to not exercise (I'm too tired, the baby is too needy etc) Congratulations on working through it! You look wonderful!

    Slight ease, once my daughter started walking that slowed things down. And i still have a massive sweet tooth but I'm not in a terrible hurry. Ill get thin one of these days lol

    Nicely done! Best wishes for continued success! (p.s., check craigs' list for some real weights - even dumbbells will do).

    You are beautiful. What awesome work. Scary to think that, if this is what you've done in a year, where you will be a year from now.
