Starting Weight: 205.8
Current weight: 195.0
Well, I was able to lose a little over 10 pounds for the 10 pound blog challenge. Admittedly, I did’t quite lose the 20 pounds I thought would slide off so easily.
Turns out, once you get older, weight likes to hang around. Who knew?
While I’m happy to be under 200 pounds, I would be MUCH happier to be able to fit comfortably into clothing that’s not made for pregnant ladies. Seeing as the munchkin is on the verge of being 8 months old, I’ve decided to amend my weight loss aspirations.
By the munchkin’s first birthday, I would like to:
- not be wearing maternity clothing
- weigh in around 175 pounds.
That’s around 5 pounds a month. Totally doable, yes? I hope so!
I also hope that something kick starts in my metabolism and on August 26, I’ll see a number lower than 175 on the scale!

One thing I hated about becoming a mama was being surrounded by skinny mama friends … friends whose baby weight seemed to melt away. I can’t say I’ve been an overachiever in trying to lose the weight, but I have tried and nothing has worked so far. I haven’t given up hope yet … but it’s definitely taking a lot of work and changed behaviors. You’re doing great – I like that you’re setting reasonable goals and reevaluating those goals when they no longer make sense!
