Did pretty well this week. I imagine I'll see a bit of a gain over the weekend, but hoping it won't be too much! Hope everyone has a merry Christmas!

Had a humbug visit over Christmas (norovirus, yuck). Whole family was down for the count, except the three year old, how she escaped it I am not sure (Christmas miracle perhaps?). I didn't get it very bad, thank goodness, but caring for four ill people (and postponing the ham dinner until today) made it easier to avoid overindulging. Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!

Didn't lose anything this week, but more importantly our New Year's Eve celebration didn't cause me to gain! Yay! Now that the holidays are officially over (double yay) I feel like I can get back to being serious about losing these last 12 lbs.

Kind of struggled for a few weeks (holidays hit me hard, I guess!), but think I might have found a groove in some ways. My water intake has been great, and I've started exercising again. Food has been iffy, but I'm adjusting it!

Was a little worried about weighing in today- had some friends over last night and drank about a half a bottle of wine which usually makes me retain a pound or two of water, but apparently not this time .

Started working out this week. Nothing major to start (some squats, crunches, and push ups) but feeling a bit sore this morning, so I'm hoping the pound and a half gain is my muscles retaining water. Also started logging again this week. I feel like I've been in the 150's way too long. Logically I know that since I'm close to goal the rate of loss will slow down, and I know it's not a linear process, but that doesn't always help the frustration. I want to see the 140's soooo bad. Hoping next week's weigh in reflects the work I'm doing! Hope everyone else is doing well!

Been dealing with a 2+ week bleeding after my mirena insertion. Not sure if it's period or just the IUD. In any case, my weight has been fluctuating like crazy this past couple weeks. I keep going up and down 4+ pounds.

So I'm giving up logging food and weighing myself for lent. A couple reasons - first, I'm within 10 lbs of goal and I know I'm reaching the slooooow part of my weight loss and the scale is a lying liar pants who lies at this point - a big meal, a high sodium day, a high carb day, so many things can mask that half lb a week loss that the scale has been driving me crazy lately. So to heck with the scale. Second, I know I have no intention of logging food every day for the rest of my life, and I certainly won't be so obsessive about weighing in every week (heck most days I hop on the scale at least once!), so I want to try my "sea legs" and make sure I can keep making progress without logging and without weighing myself. That said, I will continue eating a healthy low carb diet (just no logging/counting), will continue working out at least three times a week, and will focus on getting enough sleep and enough water. Instead of weighing in each week, I will post my measurements (bust, waist at narrowest point, hips, and widest part of thigh, in inches). I am going to resist the urge to step on the scale until Easter morning. Just a little experiment - wish me luck!

PS I had set a mini goal of reaching 150 lbs by the end of February, and as tempting as it might be to step in the scale February 29, I am going to try my best not to, lol. I figure even if I haven't gotten there yet, it really doesn't matter - I don't want to get discouraged if I'm not there yet, especially being so close! I'd like to be in the mid-140's by Easter, so that is my new mini goal. I really am kinda excited to see how this pans out

If nothing else the last few weeks have been a good exercise in maintenance. Can't go to the gym this week (dh out of town, and gym doesn't have childcare), but been doing body weighted exercises at home. Wish I had measured my biceps to start with because they felt bigger (not sure if that's my imagination tho, lol). Only a few more weeks left of my experiment - hoping to see new numbers on the scale. Hope everyone is doing well!

Was overweight when I got pregnant. I'm 5'6" and weighed 164. I always feel my healthiest at around 140lbs so that's where I'm looking to get to. I'm currently only 4 weeks postpartum so I'm just walking/doing some prenatal exercise videos for the time being.

prepregnancy weight: 164
delivery weight: 194 (+30)
1 weeks post baby: 180 (-14)

Goal weight: 140

Pre Pregnancy started 212
Lowest 150.2
Appointment before Birth 204
Currently 160.4 (daughter will be 6 months in 1 week)

I used to follow stronglifts 5x5 and my body fat is a few % higher at this weight then it was the last time I lost weight so my new goal is closer to 140 for a similar body composition to what it was at 150 previously.

I do fit into almost all my pre pregnancy things, just the little extra jiggle now makes me uncomfortable. Need to drop these last 10lbs.
