[mamarazziof3]

Weight (optional- you can leave blank or just post how many more you want to lose): As of a couple of days ago it was 124.0, but the weekend may have brought that up a bit. ;-) I am four pounds away from my goal!

Lost/gained since last week: Lost .8 pounds unless I gained it back this weekend!

Total weight loss: 46 pounds

Wins/positives: I got in a couple of GREAT workouts this week. I am halfway through Couch to 5k, slowly working on getting my running back up to where it was before I got pregnant.

Challenges: Just the usual. Making it to the gym with the yucky weather and with three kiddos it seems like someone always has a cold, or the baby's nap schedule in the morning gets off... Limited time!

Tips/tricks/ideas/anything else: Nothing new for this week. Signing up for a Pilates class that starts next month, which I think will be great for toning things back up!

Goal for this week: Drink more water! I've been so bad about that lately.

Weight (optional- you can leave blank or just post how many more you want to lose):
132 lbs

Lost/gained since last week: up .8


Total weight loss: -48 lbs


Wins/positives: Got a gym membership and plan on going three days a week. Hopefully DD does well in their kid zone, kinda nervous about that.


Challenges: still a little sick and haven't been doing my running which is why my weight has gone up a little. I was 143 before I got pregnant so I'm happy with anything under that :-)


Tips/tricks/ideas/anything else: downloaded bodybuilder.com app and hoping it will help me with the weight training at the gym. I don't want to be a body builder but they have really good workouts for everyone and it's very user friendly. Hoping it helps!


Goal for this week: get back into running and hit the gym three days this week.

I'll checkin tomorrow.. I didn't weigh myself this morning, anticipating a little gain after a weekend of sodium city.

[ksyknelvr73]

Popping in for this....I finally decided to really get my act together, starting today basically.

Weight (optional- you can leave blank or just post how many more you want to lose): 174 this morning. I weighed 166 pre May baby. Goal weight is really more like 160.


Lost/gained since last week: I gained like 3 lbs. I knew it was coming. I ate terrible all weekend in preparation for starting over today. That's totally NOT how to do this, I know.


Total weight loss: Since having my May baby, I have lost 40 lbs. I did see that I had a "health fair" here at my job back in the beginning of November and I weighed 181, so I have lost 7 lbs since November at least.


Wins/positives: I finally made a meal plan and I went grocery shopping - made my meals and planned ahead as much as I could for this week. That should make it easier for me to stick to it.


Challenges: I've been really unmotivated. But I have GOT to kick it in gear.


Tips/tricks/ideas/anything else: For me, the key is to have a plan and have it written down so that I don't deviate from it. I love schedules and routines, so it works well for me b/c I hate to change plans.


Goal for this week: To follow my meal plan. I hope to get some exercise in as well. I'm shooting for 3-4 days this week.

Yes...  Sodium city is EXACTLY why I didn't weigh myself today! Hoping I will be back to where I was at the end of last week after I down a ton of water today. :-)

I have been doing horrible! I was doing great with working out and eating better, smaller portions. I am at 160. I was 154 per pregnancy. My goal for now is 150. I need to get my butt going!

[lissiehoya]

Weight: 136.6

Lost/gained since last week: -1.8

Total weight loss: 26.4

Wins/positives: Up until the day my mom arrive I was very good about counting calories and keeping around 1700/day. I think that explains my excellent weight loss. God, just think about how good it would be if I actually exercised regularly!

Challenges: Since my mom's been here I'm not tracking calories and I've been snacking (possibly stress snacking) a lot more. She leaves on Wednesday and I can at least start getting back in gear at that point.

Tips/tricks/ideas/anything else: I tried out the Runtastic app and it's good for tracking walks/running, etc. I only used it once before it got crazy cold, but I'm happy with it.

Goal for this week: We're going to try giving up meat for Lent, which begins on Wednesday. So my goal is to eat meatless starting from Wednesday.

mamarazziof3, I'm jealous because we have the same goal weight and you're so much closer than I am!

Lost/gained since last week: 0


Total weight loss: 32 pregnancy, 18 postpartum


Wins/positives: Didn't *really* gain weight, although I had dropped down to 135-something the day after last weigh-in, would like to find that number again.


Challenges: Travel eating..


Tips/tricks/ideas/anything else: n/a


Goal for this week: Drop 1 lb.. cut down on alcohol a bit.

Don't be!  You will get there.  With my first it took me 13 months to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, which was actually 141...  Then after my second it took me 6 months, but then I got down to 128 after about a year.  Now after my 3rd I am the lowest I have been since college.   I'm happy where I am, but I could stand to lose just a couple more from the typical problem areas. :-)  

And I weighed myself this morning and it was 125.8.  Too much bad eating this weekend!  (Hoping some of that is still water from the salty Chinese food and pizza...)

Weight: I haven't weighed myself in 3-4 weeks. Probably hovering around 142 lbs.

Lost/gained since last week: ?

Total weight loss: As of 3-4 weeks ago, I had lost 38 lbs (weight 170 lbs at 40+4).

Wins/positives: Nothing - I really can't think of a positive thing about this past 3-4 weeks. See below.

Challenges: I am seriously struggling. I have been slammed at work so I dropped my only pump session at work. I'm still nursing in the mornings/evenings, but will have to wean her soon. DD has been cutting her four front teeth the past two weeks and fighting an ear infection. I got my first PP period yesterday. My dog is needy. I feel guilty about not spending enough time with DH. My only comfort has been food. It needs to stop. I'm tired of feeling gross. I have a gym membership - I just need to fit it back into my schedule. In summary, I've struggled the past few weeks, but I'm ready to be accountable again.

Tips/tricks/ideas/anything else: I meal prepped this week and making sure that E can dinners with us forces me to make healthy dinners.

Goal for this week: Drink lots of water and make it to the gym 3x this week.

Sorry jcrewgirl!  I can totally identify with you, minus the slammed at work thing.  The last two months in general have been so hit and miss for me.  I know my energy level is lower because I haven't worked out consistently.

Hope you are doing well with your goal!!!
