STRANGE KIND OF SUCCESS

I got up to around 251 or 252 just before my daughter was born in February. I have lost around 48 pounds since she was born. She weighed 10lbs so lost that real quick. LOL However, I have lost 9 lbs of that since I joined myfitness 21/2 weeks ago.

I went to my regional convention for my church this weekend. I planned on tracking my food but I was so busy between getting to my church services and trying to feed my 6 children and hubby in between the services.

Anyway I did eat out twice with friends I don't see very often and it wasn't lowfat. I gained about 3/4 to 1 lb this whole weekend. I thought that was really great. However, most of the time I did watch what I ate. Also, I am exclusively nursing my 41/2 month old.

I'm home so I am back on track this morning and already worked out. So it's a strange kind of success but I was encouraged that is wasn't 3 or 4 lbs that I gained.

    You have really lost alot. How long did it take you to lose that much weight. I am hoping to lose 30 lbs. by the 1st week in September. As I have already stated, I have lost around 8 (as I have to lose the lb. that I gained this weekend.) I hope I can. I have another church function in Sept. I am hoping to be able to fit in some of my wardrobe by then. LOL

    You have had great success as well. How long did it take you to lose that much? I have been losing quiet nicely which of course is always encouraging. But, hoping to be able like I said in the other post to fit into some of my wardrobe by Sept. :laugh: Just trying to see if it's a reasonable goal for me.:happy:
