Hi there, I've been using MFP (actively) since the new year and just realized there were groups!! LOL

I'm a very happy mom to a (just turned) one year old daughter! I have been up and down in my weight loss for years now. In college I ballooned up to a whopping 230 pounds then moved to another province (from NF to ON) and got healthy, after getting to a comfy weight at 175 (ultimate goal of 165) I found myself pregnant (after 3 years of trying) and went back to my 230 pounds. Since my beautiful daughter was born in Feb 2011 I have managed to get myself back to 185 pounds and trying to get back to pre-baby weight and then to my ultimate goal of 165.

I returned to full time work late January and have been trying to find my balance ever since. I am also an RPM (cycling) instructor but my part time hobby has gone to the way side since returning to full time work. My gym time has dwindled significantly but I am working out at home (currently on Level 1 - Day 8 of the 30 Day Shred) with going to the gym on weekends for my much needed cardio burn!

Any other moms out there who would like to add me for help/motivation and friends please feel free to add me :)

Cheers!
