Default Hi All!

Hi Everyone!

I'm very excited becasue I started induction last week and already lost 10 lbs! I just had a baby 4 weeks ago and am trying to lose the 60 lbs I gained during the pregnancy plus another 30 which I was trying to lose before I got pregnant.

I'm dedicated to continue to succeed and hope to lose the first 60 lbs in 9 months. Hey, I figured it took me 9 months to gain it so it should take me about 9 months to lose it.

I hope that's a reasonable time frame. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!
