You know me already

but I am Stephanie mother to 5 and planning on TTC #6 sometime in September. I have started charting to both avoid getting pregnant (hopefully although I have no clue what my body is doing right now) and to get some charts together for samples.
I am currently trying to lose weight too. I have been big well in my mom's eyes since forever but when I look at pics of me as a kid I was a skinny mini. What I have learned as an adult has made sense as to why I am the way I am now. (won't really get into it though) I ended my last pregnancy over 300 pounds. I wanted to lose weight after birth but since he was an October baby and Thanksgiving and Christmas feastes were around the corner I decided not to torture myself, LOL

. I lost 30 right away which was probably mostly water and baby weight. I started Jan off at 277 and I am currently 237 and trying to reach my April goal of 227 which hasn't work out well yet! LOL I've been setting small monthly goals of 10 pounds a month and I have done well until now. These last 2 weeks with lots of family events I haven't been on my diet so by Wednesday I should be back on track and hopefully heading into my goal.
Glad you are hear and we hope to hear a lot more from you! If you ever want to go back to chartting we'd love to take a peek. BTW what made it stressful to chart?
