Hello!!! My name is Lori and I am not new to 3fatchicks, however I am new to the whole weightloss committment thing. As you can see I need to lose about 105lbs, however I am expecting this time to be easier at attempting this since my husband is finally pon board with weightloss as well. At this time I am a little set back on hard core dieting since I pregnant. I am due to have our 4th daughter in 2 weeks ( July 2, 2008), however after she is born I will be following the weight watchers flex point plan. I have been moderately following the plan under the nursing points during this pregnancy. So far in this pregnancy I have not gained at all. My start weight has been 285.0 and that is where I am at right now. Duringmy 3 other pregnancies I did not gain either, which I am told is odd even for an over weight mom. I should walk away from this pregnancy with a weight loss since I have not gained so i am excited to see what that will be. I have decided to do the christmas challenge here so hopefully by 12-24-08 I will be down 54lbs ( 2lbs a wk is my goal). I would love to hear from others that are excited about the journey of weightloss and daily struggles.
Take care,
Lori in the Hawkeye State
