Success, finally!!

After weeks of hitting a plateau, I was hesitant to get on that scale again today. I didn't want to have to write another post about how I failed, AGAIN, this week. I mean, c'mon, what would be the point of even making the effort to write about it?

Imagine my surprise when the scale read 156, not 158. I lost 2 lbs! That brings me to a total of 35 lbs. lost since having the baby. And since I only gained 20, do you know what that means? It means I've lost 15 extra pounds that I had before I was pregnant! Eeeeeeeeeeek!

I think I can lose another 2 before we leave for vacation. I'm going to try my hardest! I'm actually thinking about doing the Special K diet for the next 2 weeks. Basically, you replace 2 of your meals with one of their products. Cereal, granola bars, protein drinks, etc. Since I don't eat much for breakfast or lunch, I figure replacing those two meals should be easy. I hope!

Current stats and goals for this week
Current weight: 156
Goal weight: 145
Goal weight loss for the week: 3 lbs. That's right, I'm going to try 3, instead of 2!
Other goals: Start, and stick to, Special K diet

Blair's McFatty Monday post inspired me to post progress pictures as well. So here they are. My fat ass and stretchies in all their glory...

5 days post-partum, not sure how much weight was lost at this point

13 weeks post-partum and 35 lbs. down

Notice the love handles. And the thighs...well, they still need some work, but I feel good about my progress!
