On Feb. 1st I will have my check up with the doctor. If everything goes well, I will start my baby weight loss challenge. If anyone is interested in joining me, please let me know. We can meet at my house for a kick-off/weigh-in party. I'm thinking of having the challenge last 3 months. Whoever looses the most weight will win a prize (probably a gift card) from me. Once I know that people are interested, I'll work out the details.
Girl, you are motivated! You just had a baby :) I'd love to join you on your challenge, but I live kind of far to join in. I'm doing Weight Watchers now and I've lost 30 lbs since Halloween. I will definitely keep up with you online and weigh in here so you can have someone to share it with.
That is great! Before I got pregnant, I was doing a Slim-Fast program and working out using Tae Bo DVDs and I'm ready to get started again. Working out just made me feel good about myself. I actually lost 15lbs in about 2 months so I'm even more motivated this time around. I've lost 20lbs since I had my daughter. I have about another 20lbs to go to get to my pre-pregnancy weight.
OMG. last week I found out that the Slim-Fast ready-to-drink shakes have been recalled because of some sort of bacteria. I almost went crazy!!! I'm trying the powder mix, but I do not like it. No matter what I do I can't get all of the powder to dissolve. Regardless, I'm forging ahead and I'll keep you ladies posted.
OK. I did find some Slim-Fast, but I had to stop using it because the dairy was giving my DD horrible gas and she would scream all day. So, I'm basically counting calories and exercising. I think I've got a pretty good handle on the diet. I've lost 6 pounds so far and want to loose 4 more in the next 2 wks. I'll keep you updated.
CONGRATS!!! I'm doing pretty good. We are going to a wedding in a couple of weeks, and I had to get a new outfit. It was strange because it took a while to sink in that not only am I not pregnant anymore, but I've also been loosing weight. I actually like the way I look in my skirt!
So, after the wedding it took me a while to get back into the swing of things. Vacations can be so hard. I recently joined Stroller Strides and it is GREAT!!! I'm only 8 pounds from where I was before DD #2. After that I plan on loosing 20 more pounds and that will put me at my wedding day weight!!! I'm trying to hustle because we are going to another wedding in August and it's on the beach. Wish me luck...
Good for you!! I hit my goal weight two weeks ago :) DH barely recognizes me (in a good way haha) because I am 3 sizes smaller than when we met! I don't remember ever being a size 4. It feels sooo good! Good luck to you. If I can do this you can too. You'll be able to wear a bikini to the beach wedding :)
WAY TO GO!!! Thanks for the encouragement. I'm glad to know regular moms can do it and not just the celebs w/personal trainers and fitness coaches. Congrats again.
Am I the only one... (just reply with a situation that you think is unique to you)
