My Previous Success (58 lb loss) = My Motivation

My first major weight loss journey started the day after my sister's bridal shower. My "before" pic was taken at her shower and it was the first time I really noticed how big I had become. I was 5' 6" and a whopping 298 lbs that night when I weighed myself. My after picture takes place June 29, 2013. At that point I had lost a total of 58 lbs (halfway to my goal), but my weight loss stopped. Turns out I was 2 months pregnant! Now I have some baby weight to get rid of, but this is my motivation to get back on track. I have 13 pounds to go until I reach the weight I was in my "after" pic, but this time I am going to keep on going until I reach my goal!
