Weight Loss

rlmanning · July 2012

So it took me a year to decide that I needed to take the weight off that I gained during and after pregnancy. I am so excited to say I have lost 10.2 pounds.I know that isnt a LOT of weight but I am so happy. I still have about 78 pounds to go to get down to my wedding weight. I am hoping by this time next year I am at a healthy weight and I am happy with myself again!

Good Luck. I am going through a "lifestyle change" right now because once I get it off, I want to stay there.

What are you doing to lose the weight?

That's awesome! Good luck!

I noticed in the past few weeks my body is starting to somewhat resemble its former self. I haven't lost much weight recently, but I think my hips are settling into their normal place and my boobs are getting smaller. Funny how it took a year for that to happen.

10 pounds is a great weight loss! You should be very proud of yourself. I have put on weight since my wedding too and would love to get it off! GL with the rest of the weight. And congrats on getting healthy!

This is pretty much my scenario. Before getting pregnant I was a good 40 pounds over weight. I only gained 24 lbs during pregnancy, but I had GD so I was on a strict diet. Once I had Bay I was able to eat whatever I want and I did. LOL! So when I started to diet my goal was to loose 88.4 pounds.

I have changed my diet completely. I am calorie counting. Using portion control and eating 6 small meals a day. I am also doing lots of cardio 4 times a week. I walk at a incline for 1.5 miles on the treadmill and I do the stair climber for about a 1/2 mile.

well thanks! it is a crazy accomplishment. it also has been an extremely emotional one. i have learned tho that it truly has to be a lifestyle change, so a lot of experimenting and searching with food is necessary!!!

It is hit and miss if I watch the show. But if I come accross it I usually do watch it. I know that I can not loose weight with out doing cardio. I was a athlete all through my childhood into early adulthood so my body reacts well to working out. Now that I am older I had to change my eating habits as well. It is much harder to get it off. But it feels so good to see the # on the scale to drop.
