It's Time

It's time to make the weight GO! I gained 39 lbs. while pregnant and I still have19 to lose. I have been at a sticking point and the scale isn't moving. It's time to eat less (boo hoo hoo) and move more...meaning go to the gym. You would think I could burn enough calories at home since I never sit down and I'm sweaty all day long? But...No! It's so depressing. I don't fit into any of my clothes and I can't just keep wearing maternity clothes...at least that's what the folks on What Not To Wear tell me. I bought one pair of jeans the other day to get me through this until my regular clothes fit again. So...this morning I went to the gym. Baby George did fine...no crying or needing to nurse while I was gone. It was only a little over an hour. I hope to go at least 3 times a week. I plan to start counting my 'points' too...yes, Weight Watchers. I lost 40 lbs. a few years ago on the plan and kept it off until the pregnancy...and the diabetes. WW worked so well for me. I need the accountability of standing on the scale in front of someone and the writing the number down in my book. So, until I can get to the WW meetings I'll use my blog and all of YOU to keep me motivated. Today I weigh 154. I was 135 when I got pregnant...so that's the 19 to lose. I weighed 130 when I hit my WW goal and would like to get back there. The scale had crept up a bit just before I got pregnant. So...I guess I really have 23 lbs. to lose. I'm only 5'3" and 130 is a good healthy weight for me. I can maintain it and I feel good in my clothes. I have weighed less but it's too hard to maintain...I do love to eat:) Anyone else out there on WW...anyone trying to lose a few lbs.?
