Can't Call it Baby Weight Forever.Counting Calories to find myself.Comments Please!

Hi,

I am Lorna. A wife, mommy, and chef instructor who has just realized when the "baby" is 3 years old - You can't call the extra pounds baby weight.

My journey started a few months ago when I got really ill and started having some health issues that were made FAR worse by the extra pounds I was carrying. I started small - more water, less sodas and to my surprise I lost 10pounds.

Then I fell off the wagon. I didn't gain any weight BUT I did not loose any weight either. It was time to get SERIOUS.

I started counting calories on January 1st. Wow what a difference I started to see. I was loosing weight and I felt better. This is amazing. Then I added exercise. I love the feeling of sore muscles.

So that gets us all caught up until today.
