Welcome! We could always use more midwives around!

I'm definitely a fan of midwifery so welcome. So you've already almost lost 50 lbs?! That is awesome! I'm not sure what your diet is, but I am doing the Atkins Diet and it's great! My appetite is way down and energy is boosted. I'm losing a good amount of weight too (7 lbs in less than 2 weeks). My advice would be to watch your carb intake to keep the weight down. Either way you seem to know what you are doing with losing so much- Great Job!

Congrats on your success thus far Lexi! You sound like me! For the first time I haven't given up after the first couple of weeks. That's a huge feat
