Back in early January, on my way out of the house to go out to dinner with Mike, I decided to weigh myself. That was an eye opener. My weight was over 190 pounds. My heaviest by far. Even during my pregnancy I peaked at around 178 pounds.
So I started watching what I was eating and pounds started falling off. But after a while, there seemed to be so many excuses for eating like a crazy person. Super Bowl party, Valentine's Day dinner, Easter, and anything else that I could use as an excuse for eating. So I stopped losing weight and began to plateau.
After several months of dieting, then falling back into bad habits, then dieting again I seriously got back into the swing of things in the last two weeks. And I'm happy to say I'm down to around 175. I've lost 15 whole pounds! This has got me pumped for more.
The down side to this... I weight just about as much as I did in my ninth month of pregnancy. That's kinda sad to think about. I can't believe I weigh as much as I did when I had a 7 pound baby in me. I was about 155 before I got pregnant. That's what I want to get back to. But even less. I'm planning on getting down to 145. So I still have a ways to go.
I'm at 174 right now and this is the least I've weighed my entire adult life. My goal is 145 too... we can rock it girl!
ReplyDeleteYou're such a rock star at losing the weight! I wish I had your determination and dedication. I find that I'll start the day off well, but by evening I fall right back into old habits. But I'm hoping to get it under control.
ReplyDeleteLooks like we're in the same boat right now... around the same weight, with the same goal. Let's do it!!!
