Me and Progress

Baby weight... it's gotta be the most fun part of brining life into the world.  You grow that tiny being for 40 weeks, sacrificing much to do so.  You go on to having that life pulled out of you at a whopping 6-8 pounds and then you are left to not only care for that helpless little wonder but you're also left with 20-30 EXTRA pounds of flab that you have to work your patootie off to lose, or get really good at covering up.

Fun times.

So here I am AGAIN! 3 kids in 4 years is insane in the day to day, but beyond that I feel like a human yoyo... up 40 lbs, down 40 lbs, up 40 lbs, down 40 lbs. Oy!

I'm not going to go in depth about my weight but I do need the extra motivation so I'm keeping myself accountable by putting it here.

So, world, as of today I have 8 lbs to lose.  I've ::pats self on back:: lost 6 since mid December, but I have to keep movin' if I want the rest off!  So there you go, 8 to go... ::musters up motivation::

You can do it! I am, however, waiting on breastfeeding to burn all my calories like it did last time! Effortless weight loss. It was fantastic! So far with the boy...nothing. But I'm not giving up yet! LOL But seriously, if nothing has happened by the time he weans then I'll consider exercise. Let me know what works! =)

With each pregnancy I hope nursing will magically melt pounds... somehow it never happens. :( I do think that it helps drop weight though. Good luck in your endevor & I'll gladly pass down any of my tips ( at least the ones that work) if needed. :)

I know this is a year later, but I can totally relate to this yo-yo. I had managed to lose all my weight the first time (plus and extra 2!) and then got pregnant again only a few months later! I am *technically* only about 9 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight, but everything has shifted around since then. With this new year, I have vowed to lose weight and get in shape...we'll see how it goes!

You can do it!!! It's an annoying feeling to feel like you *just* lost pregnancy weight and you have to lose it again. 9 lbs can be gone in no time... you got this. ;)
