Weight loss check-in

[imimahoney]

In honor of musiclover's awesome achievement, let's talk about goals and achievements this week!

Here is mine: I am officially below my 6 week pp weight! This might seem like a given to a lot of people but not me. At 6 weeks pp I had lost about half of what I had gained pregnant. But after I was diagnosed with ppd I started gaining weight like crazy. By the time I joined weight watchers 10 weeks ago I had gained that weight, plus 3 lbs back. 

Today though, I am 1.5 lbs below that weight! Yayyyy. That was my first goal. My second goal is to get as close to my pre-baby weight as possible by August. I am throwing my bff a bachlorette party and I want to feel hot in the little back dress that I will be wearing. I have about 20 lbs to go. 

This week I lost 2 lbs and in total I am down 24.5 lbs.

Awesome job, lady!!! That is a huge accomplishment, you should be very proud. Every lb lost is a huge victory IMO. You WILL be HOT in that little black dress my friend!! You can do this!!!

My goal: Go to Bikrahm yoga tomorrow! I like my weight; Now I need to tone! (runs off to get her 6 lb free weight)

Wow, you are doing great! I haven't been sticking to WW like I should, so at this point I'm maintaining what I've lost, but still have 20 to go. I need to get my butt in gear. You ladies are motivating me!

Thank you!!!

Great job!

I'm up 1 lb, which is annoying but not surprising. I've had a really bad week and have been comfort eating.
funny story: this morning I was actually up 2 lbs, but then I pooped and immediately lost 1 of them

meggabs I need to start toning, too. I can't consistently get to the gym or work out at night because I am so tired but I know that eventually my weight loss will plateau and I will need to. I need some night time motivation.

ruby412 Thank you! I totally need constant motivation. I am wondering if I should switch from online to in-person WW for the extra meetings. I wish it wasn't so expensive though!

[imimahoney]

Ah poop, the best friend to a person trying to lose some weight!

I lost 3.6 pounds this past week on WW and I think I am back in the swing of it. I have done well sticking to it while I am at my parents house this weekend. I always have a hard time traveling and eating well, but I'm trying not to use that as an excuse.

Ugh, tell me about it! I'm a teacher and I just crash at 3pm. I try to go for a walk, but one time around the neighborhood 1x week and one yoga a week won't do much for toning, lol!

I'm down 23.5 lbs now since January, and haven't been at this weight in about 4 years. My goal is lose at least another 9 before my trip to Barbados in 6.5 weeks to get me back to my wedding weight. My injury is almost completely healed and I am going to start lifting again this weekend probably. My belly is still 2 sizes bigger than my hips, but I'm hoping it will continue to deflate as I get further out from eating gluten.

I'm down 25 pounds, but I've got another 15 to lose to get to my pre-kids weight. Although, I find myself concerned less and less with the number on the scale, and more on how my close fit.

I've been a bit bad lately and managed to gain around 5 lbs after I hit my last plateau, but 4 have come back off so yay! I have been less disciplined because I know once I'm on the insulin pump/TTC that I am going to be really strict with myself. I want to try to keep the insulin doses low for as much as I can and I know I can easily do that with the right diet.

Right now my goal is to enjoy the things I'll be going without for a year+. Once it is baby making time, there will be a lot less chocolatey carby goodness around the house and I'll be paying close attention to the portions. For now, I am aiming to enjoy a bit.

Oh! And a great saying my MIL told me while she was here:

"Everything in moderation, including moderation."

Impossible to not love that woman!
