Weigh in Wednesday: The plan
I'm about to bare all. Because weight loss isn't easy and I want to be held accountable. And I really hope I don't regret it. When I was pregnant with Zachary I started at 160, delivered at 225- gaining 65 total.I lost 59 pounds in one week because I was full of water, but ended up getting down to 144 at one point. After that I just went up hill.
When I found out I was pregnant with Tyler I was 190 and I gained 24.I lost all of my pregnancy weight and then some, getting down to 179, the thinnest I had been in several years,but then I went back up. At my very first Dr. appt when pregnant with Summer, I was 200.4And yesterday, at my 6 week checkup, I was 200.2While it's still a big number, I tried to focus more on the fact that I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight,and that felt great! So now, I am starting this journey out at 200 poundsMy final goal is 138 pounds. 62 pounds is doable! I am 5'4" and a healthy weight for me is between 114 and 151When I was at my thinnest after having Zachary, I was 144 pounds.That put me in a size 7 or 9, depending on the pants, and I was really happy with how I looked and felt. I know it's going to be hard, but I can do it! I know this is going to take some time, but I really think it's doable!
I plan to make small goals to get me there.And what better timing that "Resolutions in Motion" has been formed! For my first goal I said I want to lose 5 pounds by eating better, starting an exercise routine and stop drinking soda.(I really love me some coke-a-cola!) 5 pounds might not seem like a lot, but considering I am breastfeeding, I really want to be smart about this and make sure Summer is still getting what she needs, and well as me getting what I need. So there it is. My story and my first goal.
I know the weight battle so well. I have a lot to lose but since my last pregnancy less than a year ago I'm having a hard time starting anything other than eating everything in sight. It's really bad. Good luck to you, can't wait to hear progress reports. :)
