Hello internet 
I'm a work at home mom of an almost 2 year old son. I recently (and by recently, i mean almost 2 weeks ago) started trying to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I've been holding onto 20 extra pounds since my son was born, and admittedly i was doing nothing to get rid of it until now.
I started my own version of South Beach the Sunday before last. The reason that i call it my own version, is because i skipped phase one entirely and have not stopped drinking red wine. (I usually have 2-3 glasses a night, and I have no intention of cutting that out - it keeps me sane.) I have been following all of the other rules so far, and with some success. I've lost about 7 pounds since I started the diet, and I am happy with that.
I also walk about 4 miles a day (with my son in his stroller). 2 miles to the park, we stop and play, and then 2 miles home. He absolutely loves it, and so do I. So far, that's about all of the excercize I'm doing, but I am looking to join a gym soon. I just have to find one we can afford.
Oh well, that's all. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and (hopefully) meeting my goal weight!

I do freelance web design. I've been lucky with it, and have an actual waiting list these days. It's a great gig if you're good at it!
