Wow that's great!!!!

Invisible brownies for all

@sslm: what a fabulous accomplishment! That's a little bit more than a size!

Tooting my own horn, 2lbs this week. 21 to go. Toot toot!!

Can I join the party? I am only nursing at night now, so now that I don't have my supply as an excuse anymore, it's time to officially get back into shape. I'm back to my prepregnancy weight, but that was higher than I'd like to be at, and the saggy belly makes me sad. So I'm hoping to lose about 25lbs the good old fashioned counting calories and exercising way. I just started tracking my calories on myfitnesspal this week. The first few days are always the hardest... momma is hungry!

@Smurfette: Awesome! Toot away!

@blackbird: Umm, I want in on these imaginary brownies. Are you tracking inches? Then you can see you're still making progress even though you're not seeing the number on the scale change as much.

Okay, at 10 weeks pp I finally feel like I'm in a good enough place with DD where I can start to actually focus on weight loss.

I gained ~40-45lbs when pregnant (stopped getting weighed after my 41 week appointment, as the rest were all home visits before DD was born at 42+1). At my six week pp appointment I was down 25 lbs. These last 15-20 lbs don't seem to want to budge though. Oh, and my scale is broken...so, I need to do something about that!

I haven't been able to figure out the scheduling to go back to crossfit yet, but I hope to soon. I've started walking 5km as many times per week as possible, but it's been tricky thanks to the very hot and humid weather

As for diet, am starting to clean it up this week, and hope to be back to paleo/primal (I just can't give up my Greek yogurt!) next week.

@sslm: Great idea for a thread!

@kiddosc, yeah I should take waist measurements!

@hergreenapples, definitely. I care most about my pants fitting well and not having chub around my middle. But I do think 10 pounds will have to come off for that spare tire to go away! My usual weight is 175, which is high for 5'11", but I was lean and mean and strong

@grizz, my final weight was up 60. I dropped 47 by 12 weeks so have faith and give it time easier said than done, I know

@grizz, I'm technically following a primal diet because I include dairy-cheese and grass fee butter. But yes, it's helping a lot as did exercising starting at 6 weeks pp. I felt a lot like myself once I. could work out

@grizz: I was very into paleo/primal diet and lifestyle before I got pregnant, and then it all kind of went to hell once morning sickness hit! I got somewhat back on the wagon in the late second tri, but completely fell off again PP. But yes, planning to get back to it now!

Ah this is so bizarre lol. I also bought size 12 old navy jeans

@sslm, maintenance isn't a bad goal for a holiday weekend!!

So being sick sucked. But I lost 3 lbs. So yay?

@looch: Bummer about the gain, but having comfortable pants is a big WIN!!! That's way more important than the number on the scale! I can't WAIT to fit into my pants again!

@Adira: That is great. I have been bad this week. I am scared for Wednesday. I am just hungry all the time.

@cascademom: That is a great first loss!!

@Smurfette: @Adira: Thanks. I was surprised to see it too. Despite the crappy heat, taking LO out in the stroller has been super helpful for the weight loss.

@Adira: One meal isn't going to tank your week unless you let it! You can doooo eeeet!

@MsLipGloss: @looch: I'm super hungry!! I just ate my second breakfast and I want MORE!!!! I'm guessing this is my body's way of recovering from those three days where I pretty much didn't eat anything because I was sick, haha.

Luckily the cafe is no longer serving breakfast and it's too early for Fritos.

@MsLipGloss: Good idea about the water! I'll try drinking some more and see if that helps. I did TRY to stay hydrated while I was sick because I was worried about my supply, but it was hard because even just drinking water made me nauseous! But I'll try guzzling some now and we'll see if that helps!

@Adira: Try gum or water. That helps me control my desire to stuff everything in my facehole all the time. If you're doing weight watchers, you can eat a lot of fruit and veggies as 0 points. If I'm getting really hungry, I eat lots of those.

I did my weekly weigh in (Tuesday). I'm down 2.5 lbs despite having an Al's Beef for dinner and all of last weekend. What's bad is that I'm never sure if it's right to weigh in the morning before eating since I just saw a study where you lose a few pounds at night because you're still burning calories while you sleep. I hope it's correct.

So, in 3 or so weeks time, I'm done 7 lbs or so. Tomorrow while I work from home, I'm going to go to yoga during my lunch break.

@looch: *mwahahahaha* I'll never tell! But seriously, I was just fantasizing about the carrots and hummus I have in my fridge at home! Full disclosure is that I just at a big ole chocolate chip cookie, and while it tasted good, what I really wanted (as I think about it now) was carrots and hummus! That *sounds* so much better than the junk I just consumed. Ah well, like @Adira, one snack/meal won't ruin my week unless I let it! Annnnnd, our elliptical got delivered today, so I should be able to work off my cookie!

@Adira: cold water always helps to curb my hunger!

@MsLipGloss: I ate crap for breakfast this morning because I didn't get to the grocery store last night and now I feel bad because it's thrown off my calorie rationing for the whole day!
