I am a 24 year-old engineer living in Oregon with my husband. We welcomed of first child at the beginning of 2010. I couldn't have been happier! ...until I realized how much weight I gained. I was put on bed-rest from Thanksgiving through New Years. I thought that keeping the holiday weight off was hard before, but being immobile and pregnant made it very easy to gain. But I am back on the exercise and healthy eating wagon! I am 5'9" so I've finally made it down to the "normal" weight range, but there are still some pounds that I would LOVE to shed.

I should also mention that I'm in a 6-month weightloss competition with my husbands family. It's finally over on September 17th, so I'm in the final sprint to see if I can win! ..... AND I DID! Yay me!

My treats:

170lbs: (X)Go have a girls-day out!
165lbs: (X)Night out with the Husband!
160lbs: (X)Hot Stone Massage!
155lbs: (X)Go get a pair of completely use-less shoes! *First Goal*
150lbs: (X)Completely new wardrobe!
145lbs: (X)Weekend away with the family! *Second Goal*
140lbs: (X)Date night!
135lbs: (X)Big trip with our friends! New Orleans! (3/17) *Third Goal*

And from that trip I gained 5 pounds, and now am pregnant! Woohoo! :)
