My profile picture on the left March 9 2013 and right is March 9, 2014. I'm 44lbs lighter. My journey has been on and off over the years, going around 3 children. After my last child born September 2012 I ate a lot. Breast feeding made me so hungry and with two young girls I was grabbing unhealthy high calorie food. I topped out at 250 and realized I had hit rock bottom, so in jan 2013 I joined MFP but it wasn't until June 2013 that I started logging my food and exercising on a regular basis. I have been more active with my kids and eating healthier. I have learned I don't have to give up what I love to eat it just has to be in moderation. Thank you to MFP for all the support I have gotten.

    For the first 7 months I did a lot of cardio and watched what I ate weighing most everything but not all. Now I have added weight lifting giving Charlene extreme a second try got almost half way through and then I let life get in the way. And I was getting frustrated that that scale hasn't gone down in 2+ months. In the last month I have shifted my mind set to loosing inches not so much trying to worry about the scale ( even though the is s hard). I also do 2-3 Zumba classes a week, love them but have noticed I have hard to drop down to 1-2 classes a week with lifting, full time job, and three young kids.
