Even since I got pregnant with our first daughter 5 years ago – I haven’t been able to wear it or my engagement ring. :( I have about 35 pounds to get back to my wedding-weight, and I’d like to lose another 15 beyond that.

How I did it: My husband and I both had very different ideals about what constituted our "dream" house. We both compromised on issues that didn't meet any big-picture goals for our family.We have a very, VERY modest income, lots of student loan debt, but because we have 3 little girls that we unschool, we wanted to be in a particular tight-knit cottage community in our area with housing prices a little above average for central PA (Camp Hill borough). … Read how I did it…
Since I got pregnant with our first daughter 5 years ago (we now how three precious little girls, the youngest is 3 weeks!), I haven’t weighed less than my husband. And he’s at least 6 inches taller than I am!!! It’s pretty embarrassing….
She’s 3 weeks old, and I have about 50 pounds to go to get back down to 120, like I was 5 years ago before I got pregnant with our oldest daughter. I’m only 28 and already am struggling with a host of health problems, including gallbladder disease, hypothyroidism, and my blood sugars are borderline for diabetes. It is imperative that I get my health back in order again!!!!!
