Back with a vengeance!!!

[Wanabmrsbateman]

Hello All, Well i suppose i've done enough "lurking" as sillygirl would say. I've been hanging around the board for a few weeks trying to motivate myself to get back in the game. I started atkins in january 06 then fell off the wagon which im sure most can understand. Then i got pregnant in may 06 and had a beautiful baby boy in feb. 07. And now that my child bearing days are well behind me and my body is forever mine, I, like the title said, am back with a vengeance!!! I started a clean induction on july 23rd and have dropped about 8lbs to date. I still need to lose about 80lbs, thats alot and really overwhelming at times but now im 8lbs closer so good luck to me, and all of you. I look forward to getting to know everyone and helping to motivate if your feeling blue. Take care!

P.S. Can i count how much weight i have lost by using my highest weight(at 9 months pregnant? err 253lbs) Because if i can, I have totally lost 38lbs, well minus the 9.5 pound baby!!
