Well, it looks like the weight loss journey will have to be put momentarily on hold as I am pregnant for the 2nd time this year. Assuming everything goes well this time, I’ll be back to actively pursuing this goal (plus 10-20 lbs probably) In 18 months or so.

I am still writing down everything I eat and I don’t want to use my pregnancy as an excuse to gain a ton of weight. I know from experience how hard it is to lose the weight once you gain it, so perhaps this will keep me from overdoing it. Anyway, good luck to the rest of you and know that as I am getting fatter, I will be secretly jealous of all of you for which the scale is moving in the opposite direction.
