I'm back

I started Induction 2/04 and lost 75 lbs. between then and 8/04. Oddly, it was one of the easiest things I've ever done. I loved the food and rarely felt deprived. I became pregnant in 8/04 and gave birth to our beautiful son 5/05. I tried to start back just after he was born but it was just a little too overwhelming. Now that it's been a while and I have 30 extra lbs. on my frame, I've started again this week. It's been going well - a bit harder this time around though since I've been eating pretty badly for a while. All of my attention has been on our son and between moving and going back to work, I've neglected myself.

So, here I am... I'm optimistic.

Re: Howdy

Thanks everyone! I know I can do it. First time around I gave up coffee (even decaf) but now I really need it - even the decaf - so I think I'll keep it and make sure and watch the heavy cream and Splenda. I had to give up green tea while I was pregnant and nursing but I've been enjoying it recently. In general, I stick to what works which, for me, has been consistency with some minor variation.

Good luck to all of you and thanks for the support.
