My success story! Get inspired!!!

When I got pregnant in January 2011, I weighed 119 lbs and was in the best shape of my life. My husband and I had recently gotten married two months before, in November. We didn't waste any time working on extending our little family from 2 to 3. We were completely overjoyed when we found out we were pregnant on Valentine's Day 2011. Fast forward 9 months......I ended up gaining SIXTY pounds by the end of my pregnancy! On the day I gave birth, I weighed 179 pounds to be exact. After being home from the hospital a few weeks, I had naturally lost a little weight. But, there was still SO much work to be done. I was absolutely in LOVE with my amazing baby boy and being a mom was/is the best thing that has ever happened to me. But, anyone who has been through the post-pregnancy baby blues knows how down right depressing it can be to have "lost" your "before body" lol. I gave birth to my sweet baby boy on October 14, 2011 and, since I'm a school teacher, my maternity leave allowed me to stay home until after Christmas Break. When I returned to work at the beginning of January 2012, I was introduced to myfitnesspal by one of my fellow teacher besties. So....I set out on a mission to get healthy again for myself and my baby, to regain my self-confidence, and to give myself a morale boost!
I have now been logged in for over 110 days in a row! Lol! And have gone UNDER my goal weight of 119 (my before baby weight) and am sitting at a pretty 117 lbs! I no longer need to lose weight so I reset my goals with the help of myfitnesspal so that I am able to "maintain" my healthy weight and work on getting TONE for bikini season . I feel a million times better these days and my baby has a happy, healthy mommy to show for it! He will turn 8 months old tomorrow and is perfect in every way! Thank you myfitnesspal for helping me through some of the most exhausting, yet extremely rewarding, months of my life!!!!!!
