Hello,

On September 27 my son will be six months! I am so excited and shocked at how fast time flew by. I am a very busy new mom. I am a full time student, full time mother, and full time fiancé! With everything going on I ate whenever and whatever. Until one day I tried on a pair of jeans for school that I had had since high school and they didn't fit. So I spent the rest of my evening trying on my jeans and none fit me. While bursting out in tears I seen myself in the mirror and hated what I had seen. So long story short I am here. Before I started my fitness pal I was just working out with my best friend and in the first week I lost 6 lbs the second week 2 lbs. So now it is my third week and I want to lose even more. So that is where myfitnesspal comes in to help me reach my GOAL of weighing 130lbs!!!!

    Have you had your thyroid checked? Mine was "low" or Hypothyroid after the birth of my first child. I had put on a lot of weight and after getting diagnosed I lost 10 pds. in the first week. If you go to the doctor they have a test for it. I was 26 when it happened.
    Good luck!
