70 pounds gone! I WEIGH LESS THAN I DID IN HIGH SCHOOL!!! So happy I could cry! The weight is not coming off very fast now though... I have been plateauing for a month then losing a few. But Monday I am going to start exercising finally. I haven't had a regimen since long before surgery and it is time!

Life is great! I got promoted at work and it has been a super busy few months. Just thought I would check in. Hope everyone is doing well!

thinking of changing my goal weight...?

Has anyone decided to change their goal weight? My goal weight has been to lose an even 100lbs since the start of my journey (putting me at 135), but recently I feel that I would like to lose a bit more. I am thinking that I would like to be about 125 to leave room for monthly fluctuation and water weight gain. I am 5'3" so I think that will put me in the middle of my BMI range instead of the high side. How did you determine your goal weight??? xoxo

I made it to one of my milestones!!!! 100lbs gone since the day I had my baby girl!!! I can't even believe I am saying that.... feels surreal!

Next goal is to reach my high school weight of 167!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day! xoxo
