Hello all. I am new to this website, but definitely not new to weight loss and dieting. I am a long time Weight Watcher and several years ago, I lost 70 lbs, just to gain it all back the last 3 years after I met the love of my life. We were married in March and got pregnant on our honeymoon. So, pregnant at 230lbs was not how I pictured it, but I am super happy to be having a baby. I am already up to 260 (I still have about 5 more weeks to go before baby). At my last appointment, my OB finally said something about my weight. She suggested I try this sight just to track what I am eating and be more mindful. She obviously doesnt want me dieting, but just to keep track of everything I am putting in. So far, I think the sight is great. Like I said before, I have done the WW thing and used their website and this seems very similar and convenient.

So, good luck to all out there. I hope to stay the same for the next few weeks and then after baby continue to be part of this sight to lose, lose, lose!! I would love to get back to pre-husband weight of 160!!

    Welcome and Congratulations!! I used this site before, during and now after my pregnancy (my DD is 6 months old). In these last 6 months I've already lost the 30lbs I gained during my pregnancy - the support and tools are wonderful. Hopefully the next 5 weeks pass by quickly for you - I remember the end feeling like forever!!
