Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

[newmama]

Flow, I understand your concern but I have almost 40 more pounds to lose. My plan is to :
lose a big chunk quickly, then slow down, then lose another chunk and when I have 10 pounds to go I can lose .5 per week or nothing until it comes off....it might take 2 or 3 months to lose the last 10, but I will be practicing maintaining my weight.
I know it sounds weird but actually
I read that losing weight in a "step" fashion (lose some, maintain that loss for awhile, then lose some more) helps to keep it off! The only reason I gained again was because I got pregnant!

So don't worry...I want to be a "hotmama" forever once this comes off! (my bod at least)
