Weight Loss Wednesday

How is everyone doing this week?

Any goals met or just out of reach?

Anything you're wanting to start or restart this coming month?

Keep up the good work, ladies.

Jeezzz... I'll start then.

No loss, no gain. No goals met either.

My motivation has been gone this past week though. Trying to get it back. I've been keeping up with a food log, which helps me to see what it is I'm wasting calories on and how to improve my intake.

This coming month I'm hoping it warms up a little to start taking LO on daily walks. Get more exercise in that way and gets LO out in the fresh air

I'm also looking to start eating out less. This month was just horrible. If I can keep 98% of my meals coming from my kitchen, I think I'll feel a lot better and more accomplished this coming month.

No weight gained or lost this week.

Have been eating more fruits and veggies.

Goal for upcoming week is to not buy any drinks (Starbucks, etc), keep eating more fresh foods and no bread (still will eat carbs, just no bread).

Made homemade kale chips last night which were yummy.

Well.. by some miracle, I've lost 3 pounds since the last weigh in at work two weeks ago. I've started yoga and cut back on the gym bc it was stressing me out.. I'm trying to find a happy medium between my sanity and my mommy guilt.

FYI - hot yoga is INTENSE.

Anyhoo... I continue to eat as well as possible and exercise as much as I can :-)

Nothing too exciting to report... total down since is Jan 9th is 11 lbs... only 23 to go!

I've been sick for the past week so I really haven't been strict with my diet. I have maintained my weight (185) which is a happy surprise. Down 19lb from pre-PG still.

Like I said, I've been sick so no goals or anything to worry about.

I'm looking at pictures ("before") I took in October and I'm enjoying the difference I'm seeing compared to pictures I took about 2 weeks ago ("after")..

I've lost 3 pounds since the 8th. It's not fantastic progress, but it's progress.

I got a new pair of shoes this week and I was trying to figure out what looked different. My legs are so much smaller. It's so weird to think about.

I don't know. I'm not really feeling it this week. Can you get the baby blues 6 months later? Being sad + emotional eater doesn't equal weight loss. Ah well.

Keep up the good work ladies.

Today has been 5 weeks since I started at the weight loss center. I'm down 9 pounds and 4" overall. I'm happy with the results, but I could do more. I wasn't very active and I wasn't amazing with the diet the second half of the month. In fact, I'm pretty sure I lost all 9 of those pounds in the first two weeks.

My goal this week: begin with some new lunchtime workouts that have been arranged at my office at lunch time. I'd like to make it to three of them before this thread next week.

Side question: @mommabmb how are you feeling?

This. I've been thinking about you and hope everything's getting better.

I haven't posted on this post? Board? yet, hope I can hop in. I just started training this week for my 10 mile run in May. So far so good with sticking to the training. Hopefully my body doesn't fall apart. I weighed myself about a week ago and I was back to my pp weight but the very next day at the same time I was 3 pounds heavier. WTF.

I'm late, didn't see this yesterday but I'm down a lb since last week. Not a huge change but I'll take it. I've been slacking on workouts lately. I have been working out, just not as long as I'd like to be.

@katies7 @truebeliever925

Thanks for thinking about me. To be honest, I'm not really myself. I'm doing OK holding it together and I'm not like boo-hooing in a corner or anything, but I've experienced some sort of spike in my PPD from all of this. I'm just okay. My H has been super supportive. Right after I went to the doc, Joel got sick and has been sick on and off since then. I haven't had much time to worry about me. I really wanted to get back in on this thread and dedicate some time to myself. I hope I get beter at that, and I hope that the increased exercise and weight loss helps with the PPA/PPD.

A positive note, though, I finally stopped bleeding yesterday. Today is the first day in over 35 days that I have not needed any kind of pad. Let me tell you, that is the most amazing feeling after all of this.

That's great that you stopped bleeding. I can't imagine how much it took out of you. I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this. I'm sure exercise will help with the A/D. Even if it's only 10-15 minutes a day, work on you. Whether you want to just dance around or just go for a quick walk. You deserve it! You're such a great mom to Joel and I know he'd want you to take care of yourself, both mentally and physically. Stay strong, momma!
