Hi, my name is Julie, I'm 5'9" and I gained 50 lbs during third tri in my pregnancy. It's been a battle losing weight and keeping it off since then(2012). I've been up and down, on and off. Lost all but 15 lbs a couple times couldn't get lower than that but then always gaining again. I was diagnosed hypothyroid in early 2015, but symptomatic much earlier than that and didn't know what was wrong. Since medicating properly, tweaking my diet and regular exercise I have now hit my goal weight of 145. Bf% is 21-22 area. I haven't weighed this since 2011, it's an amazing feeling. I hope this inspires some to never give up, always fight for what you aim for!!! Anything is possible, but it starts with your mind set and determination!

Based on my height, weight and what I had to lose, I was around 1400-1500 calories per day. Once I hit my goal weight I recalculated them and now I eat 1700 to maintain. They say to adjust your macros/calories once every 10-20 pounds you lose.0 -
Look great! No hand in the green shirt pic would've been great too!!0
