It's FINALLY my turn. I have read Sooo many success stories and everyone I'd read one I'd say "this will be me someday" so here is one of my somedays. :)
I had a gorgeous little angel on nov 29, 2011 at a whopping 169 pounds. The smallest I had ever been was about 112 first time I found out I was pregnant in 2010. After I lost that baby (after trying for 2 years) I went on a sadness downward spiral and until I got preggo again I weighed 124. The difference in this pregnancy was that I was scared to work out during bcuz when I was preggo in 2010 I was working out daily and my hubby constantly said that it could be bad for baby. When we lost it, I swore next time I wouldn't work out during pregnancy just in case. Silly me. That's how I ended up at 169.

This wasnt my first time with so much to lose. After my daughter was born in 2003 i had about 60 pounds to lose but held off until she was about 2. When i finally lost it all it took about 1 1/2 years and i swore this time id lose it faster bcuz ive been a workoutaholic since i first lost all that weight. Fast forward to 2011.....After losing the first 20 pounds right after delivery I thought yes! I can do this. Then joined weight watchers at 8 weeks post partum once dr released me to work out. With running everyday and eating well I lost another 11 pounds and stalled. Finally I joined MFP and only saw a loss of 3 pounds in 3 months. I couldn't believe it. About 3 weeks ago I FINALLY lost the last 11 pounds to prepreggo weight. This isn't my ultimate goal bcuz I know I can do better but my first HUGE goal.

Thanks to all my MFP friends that stuck with me through plateau and helped every step of my way :).

At delivery 169 pounds. Whoa.
