    Remember..you aren't going to lose 5 lbs every week! The first week you ALWAYS lose more. It's water weight. but remember, its not a race! You want to lose it in a healthy way and keep it off!!

    Yes i know. I was extremely active before i was pregnant running about 30 miles a week. But due to some things that came up during the pregnancy i was only able to swim for 30 min 2x a week.. So pretty sedetary. Right now I still have a broken tail bone from delivery, so i am limited on what i can do physically. Just staying positive and head strong. It said that the diet would average 2 lbs a week and I am ok with this. Thanks for the post!

    Congrats!!! Don't get discouraged if the amount isn't the same every week. Remember there are plateaus also and the last 10 I'm told are the hardest. I can't wait until I'm down to just the last 10. LOL. Good luck!!

    Thanks Ladies! This will be so much fun. This makes a New Years Resolution so much easier to stick too!!
