"After" 30 pounds down

About 12 weeks ago I decided that I was done starting my millionth 'diet' post-Catie's birth and finally decided to go to weight watchers.  I had seen the success my parent's had following the weight watchers program so I knew that it worked.  After 12 weeks, I have now lost 30 pounds and reached my half way point in my weight loss journey. 

I am now about 15 pounds less than I was when I got pregnant almost two years ago, but I still have another 30 pounds to lose to get back into a healthy range for my height.  I know some of my family and friends have expressed concern to me about my sudden weight-loss because of my history with anorexia through high school and my college years.   I can not express how thankful I am that I am blessed with people in my life who care about me enough to confront me when they think I am headed down a dangerous path, but I promise y'all that I am committed to doing this slowly and in a healthy way.  My biggest motivation and accountability factor right now is Catie Grace.  She is continuing to nurse and the breast feeding has been a HUGE contributor to my quick weight loss but if I do not eat enough and start flirting with eating too little, then my milk would suffer and the thought of that keeps me accountable.  

My goal is to lose another 30 pounds by thanksgiving.  Thanks for all the encouraging comments and congratulations y'all have been giving me through out this journey. :)
