I am currently at 279.I was about 240 when I got pregnant with my son and down in the 230s after I had him.I then gained about 40-50 lbs.I watched my nieces and nephews during the day since I am now a stay at home mom,but the never wanted to go for walks or anything so I didn't move around.I also had a very physical job before the baby and took for granted all the calories that I burn at work.Now that he is a year old I need to get fit to be able to chase and play with him.
