This is my first "success" post. I know it's not a drastic weight loss but I am very proud of myself. My goal was 10lbs and I have succeeded. Having two kids has taken a real toll on my body. When I was pregnant with my daughter I weighed 135lbs and gained 50lbs. I was never able to lose it all. I had no time between working full time, commuting, and being a mom. I got pregnant with my son 2yrs later and started that pregnancy at about 150lbs and gained 45lbs with him. I breastfed my 2nd child and lost all of his pregnancy weight pretty quickly and was back at 150lbs. I really wanted to loose that last 10lbs I was still carrying from my 1st pregnancy. I was so happy when I found this site. Logging my food has helped me out soooo much. It has completely changed my view of food and serving sizes. Other simple changes I mad was I have cut out all fruit juice, sodas (I allow myself 1 soda a week), and I have really cut back on desert. We literally live next to a drive-thru dairy queen and it was way to convenient picking up a blizzard a few times a week. I feel more confident now and my stomach is way less "poochy". I have went from a snug size 11 jean to a very comfortable size 9 and LOVE IT! My son turns 1 this month and I will stop nursing him then. Once I stop I am going to kick up my exercise again and attempt the 30DS. I really would like to tone up my abs and try to make the loose skin look better. It took me 2 months to lose the 10lbs.

    Great job on your success! My plan is to 10 to 12 pounds along the next couple of months. I had a C-section and January of this year and it is hard to lose the excess fat. But I have seen some results. I lost roughly 10 pounds after the delivery and before I got on my fitness pal. Then I lost another 7 pounds while being on my fitness pal. I love this site because I am get motivated through other people. I am gonna do whatever it takes to lose the belly fat. I have a sweat abdominal band; cardio, and ab crunches. Again, thanks for you pics and story. Good luck and much Success!

    Thanks!! I take that as a compliment. The smallest my body had ever been is a size 7 (wayyyy back in high school). There are other women on here who are my height (5'9) and are below a size 7. I don't know how they do it! They look great. My body does not go below a size 9.
