My son just turned one on the 30th of March, so I decided to make a side by side. The day before I had my son, I weighed in at 238. I'm 5'7". I say I started my weightloss journey when he was 4 months old, weighing 216. I had hoped to be at my goal weight of 150 by his first birthday, but I took some bad advice from someone and derailed my motivation, slacking off big time from December to now, and still fighting to get back on track! I'm floating around 166-169 on any given day right now. It's been a struggle, and I'm trying to get back into the groove. I'm still proud of my progress though because I'm the lightest I can ever remember weighing!! epdacyen0jkc.png

    Congrats my youngest is 6mo. This is a great idea and motivation. Btw, it's a year difference but the laundry is still there! ;)

    You are getting there! Such amazing progress. Took me 19 mos. PP to START. I'm also coming back to counting & working out from a break and trying to focus on the fact that I came back before it got out of hand, not that I took the time off.
