  • Thanks everyone!
  • Congratulations on your new baby! While I still call my extra weight "baby weight," my little man is nearly two! However, the thing I wish I'd done in those first few months?? Go EASY on myself...I was in such a rush to lose weight quickly that I made myself miserable during an already difficult/challenging time... I…
