New here as well....
 

Hello! I'm a new member to this community! (I also posted in the 30's age group thread, so I apologize if anyone is seeing this twice!) ;)

I've recently had a baby, and now I'm determined to lose the weight I gained through pregnancy, as well as the weight I needed to lose prior to the pregnancy.

I'm 5ft7in tall, and currently weigh 235 lbs (how painful just to type that!). I began this weightloss adventure May 1st, and since then have lost 20 lbs (started at 255 lbs). I know that first month of weightloss is probably the biggest chunk I'm going to have, and it's going to get tougher as time goes by, and the weight I lose will decrease as well.

With that being said, I decided I needed to get some support and feedback somehow, to help me stick to my plan. I also enjoy reading other folks' stories and hearing how they're overcoming their obstacles.

Anyhow...just wanted to introduce myself and say "howdy!" :D

Welcome aboard! Have fun reading the various forums, make some friends, and join us on the weight loss journey.

Congrats on your new baby!

Welcome! We are about the same height and weight! I'm counting calories. What's your plan? Good luck!

Thank you, Cincimom! I'm watching my calories and keeping my fat intake and my carb intake to a minimum (trying to stick to only "good" carbs). I've also done a little exercising, but nothing like I'd like to be doing....Just gotta manage my time better!!

Thank you for the thread link, I'm reading through those now!!!

What are some of the foods you're incorporating into your diet? I love hearing examples of stuff I hadn't even thought of eating!!!

:welcome: Glad you joined us! I lost my pregnancy weight too :)

Of course it took me 23 years to do so ;)

Good for you tackling it now! I wish I had done so :yes:
