<human>: Last April, I decided it was time to start losing weight.  I was 5'6" and around 260lbs.  My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant, but no such luck.  After much discussion, it was agreed we'd take a break and wait to start trying so I could take charge of my health.  My goal was to start trying when I lost at least 30lbs, but keep on losing.

Using CICO and MFP, I was able to lose the 30 lbs by May and by July I was down 40lbs.  I also was able to get pregnant!  Hooray!

My first trimester, I was able to lose down to 207 due to morning sickness and while I gained in 2nd trimester, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes in the 3rd trimester.  Due to this, I had to go on a strict diet and by the end of my pregnancy, I had only gained 5 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight to be 224.5.

Now, I'm 2.5 weeks postpartum and am at 210.5 lbs!  I'm very proud of myself.  I credit getting healthy eating and exercise habits prior to pregnancy and keeping up with them during the pregnancy.  I had a lot of people who expected me to gain everything back and really struggle, but I showed them it can be done if you put your mind to it!

My doctors were all very pleased with my weight during my whole pregnancy and I had a healthy baby girl of 6lbs and 10 ounces, so gestational diabetes can also suck it!

Thanks for listening to my self brag!  I'm proud of myself...

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
