Interesting - I noticed I'd posted in this thread and so I went back to see when and where I was with weight loss - I said that I'd lost 13 lbs and was signed up for a half marathon in the fall. Two weeks after I posted in the thread, I found out I was pregnant. So the half marathon and weight loss got put on hold, but I did okay with my weight gain during pregnancy - just around 20 lbs. All of it was gone a week postpartum. I started seeing a dietitian about four months post partum and had a decent loss over 12 weeks - about 14 pounds. I then went on vacation and lived through kitchen/condo renovations for four months and put most of the weight back on. So in November, I went back to the dietitian and have been seeing her once a week to go over my food diary and talk stuff over. It's been great - I need that kind of accountability to stay on track, otherwise I'll just say "eff it" and stuff my face full. I'm using my fitness pal to track my food consumption and it is quite an eye-opener!
So since November, I'm 21 lbs lighter, 24 lbs lighter than when I got pregnant. I'm hoping for another 15 lbs gone to get me closer to the non-obese side of the spectrum, but ideally, I should lose a good 25-35 lbs. I'm signed up for a 5K in May, so hopefully that'll keep me moving toward my goal.
