Hello everyone!

Hi! I came here looking for a way to keep track of my calories. I'm so glad this site is free, I've been putting off loosing weight b/c I kept telling myself we couldn't afford weight loss programs (weight watchers, ect). It was all just an excuse, but it sounded good. Now, I have no excuses.

I have struggled with a "spare tire" most of my life. I lost all the extra in my middle when I was 19. A month later, I found out I was pregnant. I went from 115 before the pregnancy to 180lbs two yrs later.
I started losing agian.

I lost 20 lbs, just to find out that I was pregnant agian. During this pregnancy I didn't do so well on the glucose tolerance test, so I was put on "The Diet". After being told that I would have a 10 lb baby if I didn't stick to the diet, I followed it perfectly. I counted every carb and every gram of sugar, only over indulging once. I delivered a 9 lb baby 2 weeks early and weighed 125 the day I left the hospital. By my next appt, I weighed 114lbs.:happy:

Now 2 years later, I am at 161lbs and it sucks.:sad: I can see 180 creeping up on me, so it's time to do something. (I do kinda have the fear of getting prego agian....history does like to repeat itself.)
