I have been a member of CC since the summer of 2007.  I started my weight loss journey at 236lbs and a height 5’5” when I had my daughter in October of 2006.  I had always been overweight, but I gained 60lbs with my pregnancy, and I knew if I wanted any chance of being a normal weight I would have to get working!!! 

I placed myself on a 1500 cal diet, and worked out about at the gym around 5 times a week.  By April of 2007 I was down to 188 lbs, and I hit a plateau.  For weeks I could not loose.  I was almost going to give up when I stumbled in to the forums in CC.  In particular, I noticed a post referencing a workout DVD called Slimin6.  I saw so many people posting wonderful results that I had to try the six week program.  Well, it’s a good thing, because at the end of the program I was down to 167 lbs. 

I have been up and down in my weight since the fall of 2007.  After the holidays, I realized I am SO close to my goal of 140 lbs.  I have 22lbs to go, and I CANNOT give up!  I have lost 72 lbs, and I owe this myself the achievement of this goal.  J
