Good luck MRSH!  We're here for ya!

As a parent myself, I'd just like to offer one caution: don't beat yourself up too much if you don't ever get back to your pre-pregnancy weight (or if it takes a lot longer than you expect), especially if you were very thin before.  I was a size 3-5 once upon a time.  I doubt I ever will be again, but I'm ok with that   I'll be happy getting to a size 8 and would be ecstatic if I could be a size 6 again.  But my body has changed forever and I'm trying not to set myself any unrealistic goals

Thanks for the encouragement and words of wisdom  Just before I got pregnant(in the 2 years before) I lost 80 pounds from 220 to 140.  I finally loved clothes shopping and felt comfortable with my body.  Watching myself gain weight while pregnant was something I struggled with.  While I totally don't expect for my body to ever be the same I want to have that same self confidence I once had and knowing that I am working on it makes it Ok that I may never get there!!  Good luck trying I'm right there with ya

Wow, that's amazing!!  Good for you!!

Since you've already lost a large amount of weight before, I think that should be encouraging and motivating, since you already know that you CAN do it!

I weighed in last night at weight watchers.  I hadn't been in 4 weeks - I've been too busy eating everything in sight.  Surprisingly I only gained 3.4 pounds so it wasn't as bad as I thought.

Weight is down again today!!!  151.4 

That means there's a good chance that I'll still be 152 or lower again tomorrow!

Reward, here I come!!
