I am a 26 year old mom to a beautiful 2 1/2 year old girl. I haven't been fat my whole life - it is something that started happening during my college years and after. In high school I weighed about 155 pounds - and when I started FatSecret last week, I hit the scales at 300 pounds.

Before I got pregnant with my daughter I weighed 230 pounds, and I was happy with my body. I thought I looked great, but when I was pregnant I gained 40 pounds and weighed 280 pounds. After my daughter I was born, I was able to get back down to the 260's, but had no portion control and no concept of calorie counting or food journaling, so I gained weight very fast.

I'm hoping that with calorie counting and food journaling (and of course exercise and using this website!).. I can get back down to the 230-240 range. I'd be happy with that.

Goals:
15 pounds (285) - buy new make-up from mark.

25 pounds (275) - buy a new outfit!

40 pounds (260) - get my hair done

50 pounds (250) - take a trip to Niagara Falls with my family!
