Hi all - I'm a fairly new DISer and today is my first time venturing into the WISH forums. I usually try to eat fairly healthy, but we have been out of town and decided to not to think about our upcoming diet and just gorge. Today was my first time on my scale in about a month, and I was absolutely shocked! Before I had kids, I was about 130 (still was fairly heavy for my 5'2 frame, I never was thin). After my first child, I usually hovered around 142 or so, then after my son, hovered around 155...more or less whenever I would be dieting. I knew I gained weight over the past few weeks as my clothes were fitting tighter, but I was up to 163 this morning!! Yikes! I'm hoping that some of it is water weight that will go away after I eat healthy once again, but we shall see. Like I said before, I have never been thin growing up, but I would love to at least get down to what I was before kids, and maybe push it to the 120's. DH is on board with me, and we are doing this together, so that will make it easier having a partner. I am too embarrassed to actually let him know how much I weigh, even though he probably knows, but at least here I can post numbers and feel good about results. We are moving this summer overseas, and I won't be working and will be staying home with the kids. My goal is to be not too embarrassed to wear a bathing suit and be able to take my kids to the pool often over the summer.
I'd love to break the 130 barrier which I havent done in about 7 years, so 29 more pounds to go 
with 120!! Right now I am 148 
but I will do it, I hope! Good luck to everyone-I only have about 4 months to do it!!
I really, REALLY want to lose 14 lbs to get me down a dress size (and to 120 lbs) for my September cruise - when's Labor Day (sorry, I'm a Brit and not up to speed on US holidays...) Over the past 2 years I've lost 30lbs and kept it off so I'm really down to the final hurdle...
