I’ve always been thin before having children and I never had to really try for it. I just was. I mean I went to gym, I worked out hard but I also smoked, drank and ate a lot of nasty fast food.
But as many of you know you change after becoming a Mother. Not just in who you are and how you think but really physically you are a different woman completely. As all of it is welcomed, the extra pounds that comes with it is NOT.
I’ve read that with each child comes an extra 5 permanent pounds. Wow, if this is true then my Three =15 lbs that will never be removed from my Aging Ever Tired body.
I think I’m going to fight this idea and try and beat the odds of excepting the extra weight. I don’t want to be a Mom that explains that I “just” had a baby when my child is 3.
So I bit the bullet that I cannot make this change on my own. I cannot get to the gym, I can never seem to work out at home. So I did the one thing I feel I am capable of doing, I joined Weight Watchers online.
So far I’m rockin’ it. I weighed in and…. I lost 4 pounds!!!!
I started at 162 Wednesday April 21st and today I am 158!! Good Bye 160’s!! Never to be seen again. That’s 4 pounds towards my goal of 32 :o)

Congrats!
ReplyDeleteYou can totally lose those extra baby pounds. I'm 15 lbs lighter than when I had Addison so that's definitely a myth.
Way to go! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, congratulations! Yes, it is harder to lose the weight after kids because our bodies have changed and we're older. I still looked like I just gave birth when my youngest was almost 4. That's when I decided to do something about it. Two years later--yes, it takes time, commitment, and determination but is so worth it--and I'm at the healthiest weight and smallest size of my life. It can be done. It's just not easy. Props to you!
