    I am not sure why when I posted this it deleted my whole story :( I really do not feel like typing it all again but basically My heaviest was 217 lbs I am now finally back to my pre-pregnancy weight, this morning I finally hit my goal!! I woke up to see 149.5 on the scale.....I cannot believe it! I have struggled with yo-yo dieting for 6 years after being skinny for most of my life without trying I had no idea what I was doing. Something just finally clicked and food is now my friend, I now eat to fuel my body not for pleasure (95% of the time anyway) and exercise has become my stress relief not a punishment...it's about damn time! I am nowhere near where I would like to be ( even at 35 I can dream of a six pack and big guns can't I?) time to tone!!!!

    ETA: I am 5ft 7

    I freaking hope so, cuz I'm dreaming of them at 41! You look fantastic!

    Awesome job, you look great! You said it perfectly "you eat to fuel, not for pleasure", I follow the same philosophy and it works seamlessly. You probably feel like a million bucks right now, and deservedly so. It's not easy loosing that much weight so hats off to you. Welcome to the high life :smile:

    Excellent! Our stats are almost identical- I'm 35, 5'7", and my goal weight is 147ish. I'm less than 10 lbs away!

    PS you look fantastic! I want to be like you when I grow up. Lol

    I started around 1200 and after awhile increased it slowly, I am at like 1550 right now? I recommend IIFYM.com to figure out your cals and macros. I workout minimum 3 days a week max 5 days...took weeks off at a time too lol I do have 1 small secret that I did for a few months that really seemed to help but I do not want to post it on here due to all the trolls, message me if you want :)
