Default 31 mo post-op. NEW GOAL!

I have always maintained that my reason for having GBS was to be able to conceive and carry a healthy pregnancy and therefore always said, " don't have a goal. The BABY is my goal."

As you all know, my miracle arrived in perfect condition last week. Having lost all my baby weight and then some I thought that it might be time to set a new goal.

All during my pregnancy I thought to myself that I am happy and that if this is as good as it gets que sera, sera. Then I said, ok well, I can eat x, y, z cause I beat the statistic. I lost 70% of my excess body weight. Right? Negative!

Prior to getting pregnant I was on a weight loss plateau from hell. (8 months with no loss) I lost about 5 lbs in the early days of pregnancy and gained any where from 17-28 lbs depending on what I ate that week. the day before delivery my final baby weight gain tally was 17 lbs.

Having seen the scale move so dramatically these last 7 days I have decided that my success has been good, its just not good enough.

There for I am setting a goal.

Currently I am 62 lbs from reaching said goal of 175.

I think setting a goal will help be be more accountable for what goes in to my mouth and ultimately in to Brandon's body (currently breastfeeding) as it will force me to continue to make healthy food choices.

So from 488lbs to 237 in 31 months I am making a push to hit 175. With my pimpy mc pimp baby stroller I expect to be an exercising, weight loss droppin mamacita.

/Cheers!



Brandon my continued motivation to continue a healthy lifestyle.

You can do it Tammy. Being 176 will be a lot easier to chase around the little man when he starts crawling then running around. Ever since my 2 year old came into my life (he was 15 months when he came here) that boy has me on the go on the time. Its a good thing I don't still weigh 300 because I don't think that I could do it.
I also hear that breast feeding helps you to lose faster. I hope that's true!

Thank you Jeanie! I think it must be true cause I am feeding and pumping around the clock and not only is the 17 gained gone but I have lost a few more as well. At this rate, I may pump till hes 12 = P

Tammy, I'm glad you've set a goal for yourself, it should really help you. I can't believe you are already lower than your pre-pregnancy weight. I'm still waiting to reach that goal and my kids are 19 & 20 years old. LOL!!! That's awesome. So we'll see you tomorrow at Rain's right? Now get the stroller out and take that walk you were mentioning.
