Desperate for help I joined SP in Feb 2011. I started running for the first time in my life and eating right. In 4 months, I went from 190lbs to 175lbs. I was so proud of myself! Then I got pregnant (I believe the lifestyle change had a hand in that miracle). The day of delivery I weighed 198lbs (Yay! I only gained 25lbs during the pregnancy!). Two weeks after delivery I weighed 185lbs. Four weeks after that I weighed 198lbs. The stretch marks I had managed to avoid during the pregnancy marred my stomach six weeks after my son was born. That was my wake up call.
