For the first time in years...........***UPDATE***

[ajrobbins]

I actually posted pictures of myself......can you believe that?

I have been very self-conscious for years now. i got married and weighed 107 lbs. and I gained a lot of weight with my first DD, and kept some of it on (I was about 130 when I got preg with her and that was the perfect weight for me....107 was too thin!). Then I had DD #2 and lost all I had gained with her, but since I went on Depo, I started gaining lots of weight and ended up 20 lbs. heavier than I was after DD#1, and I hit into that overweight category. =( I struggled trying to lose weight after that and had NO luck at all. I got preg with DD#3 and I really tried to minimize my weight gain and I did really well UNTIL I had to go on bedrest at 32 weeks......

I was really proud of myself though, within 4 weeks of having my 3rd, I lost 23 of the 33 lbs. I had gained and was back into most of my pre preg clothes! I am breast feeding so I really think that helps! Well, the weight just keeps coming off! I am now 12 lbs. lighter than I was when I got preg with DD#3!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited that I am really hoping that it keeps coming off and that I can get down to my goal weight of 135! Well, I think I just gave away my weight with that, huh? since there is a damn weight tracker on my page......lol. Oh well.

Sooooo, if I do get down to that, I really hope that it won't be hard to maintain?! Maybe even after I am done bfing I'll continue to pump just for the calorie burn...........lol.

Anyway, so now I feel so much better about myself, my self-esteem is up, I had major dental work done, so now I have a great smile again for the first time in years...............wow! People have noticed the weight loss......and someone told me the other day that my hair looked great..........and someone else told me I looked like a model that day! How awesome is that?! I am feeling sooo good about myself that I wear more make up now and I want to change my whole wardrobe and get rid of all the old crappy stuff! I even bought "hooker boots" as my sister calls them......knee high boots with a heel! They are my absolute favorite shoe right now and I am always wearing them with my "sexy skinny jeans"......lol.......well, not really skinny jeans yet, but they are my best looking pair that I have right now.

I think I need to take a full body shot of myself now.........hehehe........lol. So, long story short........I am surprised I posted a pic of me..........I never would have done that before all this. =)

 

 

***UPDATE***

 

Here's the most recent body shot of me now at 142 lbs., I think I am doing pretty good after 3 kids and the baby is almost 6 months old!

LETS SEE IT HOTTIE!!! GOOD JOB.....now how did you loose weight BF, when all I do is gain?

Well I have been searching the web for some at home remedies for weight loss. Let me tell you what I am doing. I am drinking a cup of 2 tbls of acv, 1/4 tsp of bs, and the rest water. If, when I weigh in on April 3rd and have lost nothing then I will go to the next remedie......there has to be something out there.

(ACV-apple cider vinger, BS- baking soda) and it is all nasty. But one week and it's not so bad tasting.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!!! LUCKY WOMAN!
