**UPDATED NOTE TO MY FRIENDS**

Now that I am pregnant, I have re-evaluated my eating plan. I have decided to go back to my weight watchers roots. I like their plan for breast-feeding moms that I will follow after my baby is born and I like the healthy way I can eat while I am pregnant.

Right now, I am going to concentrate on being the healthiest me I can be and hopefully after the baby is born the weightloss will follow.
