<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

I see a lot of people making public declarations as the start of their journey and I feel like that would be a good starting point. 
I am done being overweight. I am 5'6" and 204 pounds and the funny thing is, is I am already down 25 lbs from where I was last summer. Unfortunately I cannot claim that as a victory as losing that weight loss was completely hormonal. Its really rare but I am one of those few women who actually lose weight when they get pregnant (I know everyone hates me) and I just had my baby 3 weeks ago and I was thinking hey why throw away this good momentum! I stumbled upon this subreddit yesterday and I think this is what I need to actually stick with it this time. I have already started keeping track of my calories using myfitnesspal.com and I figure I will start going on walks for exercise to start. 

I just wanted to say how inspiring all your stories have been for me as well and would like to say how awesome it is! My dad is 450 lbs and growing up he always made it sound like he was a victim of his weight and because I was his daughter I was destined to be fat and a victim of my weight too. I grew up just convinced I was fat and became really depressed even though I was only 140 as a freshman in high school and it became a self fulfilling prophecy because I thought I was destined to be fat I became fat. As I got older I started to see this and started to see how my dad was never the victim of his weight, he was the victim of his laziness/ misconceptions. My dad refused to eat right and kept gaining then got type 2 diabetes and not even that was enough of a wake-up call for him and he continued eating whatever he felt like. He started getting different things associated with not taking care of your diabetes Peripheral neuropathy being one of them. Now he cannot walk on his own and he is in a wheelchair in a nursing home since he was 50. I refuse to be like him and am very glad I found this reddit to help me see that it is possible to lose it.
<bot>: I have determined I am going to lose weight. I have already lost 25 lbs due to my pregnancy. I thought I was destined to be fat because my dad was but now realize I have a choice
