I originally joined MFP back in November 2010, but it took me until March 2011 to finally get tired of being fat. I dropped 50 lbs. from April until October when we found out that we were expecting our 5th child...
I gained the 50 lbs I lost back plus 10... I had a very hard pregnancy during the end and ended up with severe pre-eclampsia (almost 3 weeks of hospital bed rest).
Long story short, baby #5 was born on May 25th and in a little over 3 weeks I have lost 37 lbs of water/baby weight. I have 22 lbs to go to get back to pre-pregnancy weight and I'm hoping to be there by my birthday in September.
That being said, Sunday while doing Zumba my 16 year old daughter mentioned to me that I was looking thinner. I shrugged it off to the water I'd been getting rid of. NSV #1! Heck, I'll take them as I get them
NSV #2 happened on Monday at my 3 week post-delivery visit. My Doctor came into my room and stood there speachless for a few minutes (felt like eternity, quite awkward... creepish really) and when he spoke he said "You look...Different". Then he clued into my weight loss
So, here is me at 8.5 months preggers with #5
Here is me Monday at 37 lbs down! (SV on Monday, lost 1 more lb bringing me to 37 lbs down in 3 weeks)

:blushing: Yes, baby #5 :noway: I'm still wrapping my head around that one.
I'm hoping to be back on track and lose the remaining weight that I was set to lose last year before I got pregnant. Mini goal #1 is to be down these 22 lbs by my birthday in September. Praying I make it!0 -
Great job especially with having 5 children! Way to go!0
