  Hmmm...I don't know. I lost 120 lbs in the first divorce and 215 lbs in the second one ;-) Ba-dum-bum!

  (Yes, my first husband seriously only weighed 120 lbs. If that.)

  Good luck with your workouts!

  Yes!  I think that is true.  At least for me.  We built our current house (we were the builders) and I gained weight.  The doctors figured out my fertility issues and we got pregnant right away (no time for weight loss).  I gave birth to ds at 24 weeks and before he was out of the nicu I was pregnant with dd (not planned).  I gave birth to her the 26th of September and I have the hardest time working out and losing weight.  This IS the week I get back to the yoga study.  We have family pictures in May and I have about 50 pounds to lose.  I have NEVER been this heavy and it's killing me.  Let me know if you want to be accountability buddies.  And Good Luck!

  I think it's harder if your spouse isn't on board with you.  My husband and I lost over 150 lbs combined since May.  It can be done.

  It's hard. It's super hard. I have been married almost three years and my LO is almost nine months. I think I used to be able to eat and it wouldn't affect me the same, and I think I am eating more out of boredom. 

  I want to get this right too. I need to get back to myself! I feel so sad about how I've let myself slip. I just don't even feel sexy anymore.....

  Anyways, I guess I am just commiserating with you. No help here. I hope to lose thirty pounds total. I'd be really excited if I could get back to where I was before the wedding.

  That is so awesome that you built your house. DH and I are planning on doing the same thing! I also have never been this heavy (I absolutely hate it). For my 21st and 22nd bday I was pregnant so for my 23rd (in June) I want to be looking good. I would love to check in with you!

  Wow congrats! It's not that my husband isn't supportive but he seriously has the metabolism of a 17 year old boy lol. Also he's a firefighter so he works out all the time so he doesn't need to gain or lose any weight which is great for him.

  I totally understand what you are saying about not feeling sexy anymore... I have actually become insecure which makes me all that more unnattractive in my opinion. I know you can do it One day at a time.

  Awww...thanks :-) I'm never sure if I'm hilarious or obnoxious. I'm glad you voted for choice #1.

  Seriously, though, running has worked wonders for me. I started out doing Couch to 5K, and now I can run up to 4 1/4 miles without stopping.

  I post my running workouts on https://dailymile.com . If you want to find me on there, I'm the only Shaindel. (Apparently, there are not a lot of Jewish runners ;-)

  I lift weights, too, because you want to build muscle as well as burn calories. You can do it!

  Yeah, see I never liked running until recently. My goal is to run a half marathon sometime this year... and it's definitely an achievable goal. I don't want to be stick thin and prefer to be a little more muscular... not manly though. 

  I will check that out for sure!
