I was stuck at a range of 170-175 ever since the birth of my daughter 2 years ago. I struggle with the pain of endometriosis from time to time and that puts a downer on my fitness. I had surgery in Nov. '07 to remove the endo and have felt great...NO PAIN! The downer is, it can and probably will grow back.

Update August 2008 - I am now about 156lbs! I've never felt better! Still no pain from the endo and I continue to watch my daily intake and burn those calories! I'm finally starting to feel "sexy" again and am very happy. I'm glad my daughter will get to grow up with parents that live a healthy lifestyle and see how fun it can be.
I have just over a month to my goal of 145 by my birthday. Not sure if I'll make it. If not then I'll shoot for the end of the year to be that weight. Working hard to get there!
