Weight Loss Post #1

So before I update I need to give a little weight history.

Highest weight ever (at 38 weeks pregnant): 240lbs

Weight After Baby was born: 216lbs

Weight Before Pregnancy: 200lbs

Right before I got pregnant I was on a diet plan and was trying to loose weight. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I stopped dieting and the about 5lbs I had lost came back immediatly. So I consider my prepregnancy weight 200lbs and I was determined to never go beyond that. But life happens and I became a Momma instead! I tried to work out while pregnant but it just got the best of me and I honestly didn't really do anything.

I lost a nice 24lbs just having my son! That was encouraging. Unfortunatly a very hard recovery (ok and I'm sure a lack of motivation) kept me from even attempting to loose weight. As far as I know I didn't gain any.

Ok now fast forward 9months later and I am about 208. So yeah only 8 lbs lost in 9 months. But I decided to make a bigger effort and really try to get excersize into my schedule. For about 6 days straight I did hardcore Jillian's 30 day shred and went on about a mile walk every nice day. Then I ended up hurting my knee's doing that. So I stopped for a week. Of course stopping for a week got me off my groove and I didn't jump back in or anything. But I still try to go for a walk everyday. And on days I'm motivated I do other things as well. I'm working on getting myself onto a schedule but with a baby and a husband to coordinate with... it's not really happening.

So the big thing for me is that I'm not hard on myself. 2 weeks ago I got down to 201.4! Woo! But then it went up and down for the last 2 weeks.... But! Today I woke up and weight myself and I am ....(drumroll please!).... 200.4! YEAH! Back to prepregnancy weight!!! I guess what they say is true, 9 months up... 9 months down. But I am sooo not done yet.

Weight today: 200.4lbs

Goal Weight: 150lbs
