Doing things Anglo/American style!

Celebrate with me!

   Over the past couple of years I have been trying to loose weight. Not in a 'let's diet and go crazy about it' kind of way, just a 'let's be sensible and eat more healthy foods and loose some weight along the way' kind of way.

   I have been seeing some small but steady losses over the months and choose to only weigh myself once a month (just after Aunt Flo's visit) so as not to get discouraged by the flucuation during the month.

   Well.....drumroll please........this morning I finally weighed in under 150lbs at 148!!!!!  I have about six more pounds to go to get to my pre-pregy weight from McGee, so I'm nearly there!!!! Not bad huh? It has only been EIGHT years since he was born. 

   Saying that though I need to let myself off the hook a bit. I have had one more full term pregnancy and five various stage miscarriages in those eight years too. I'm a person who piles loads of weight on at the beginning of a pregnancy too, I simply blow up like a balloon and then level out in the middle and then get HUGE at the end! So with the ones that we lost I already had alot to loose. Yuck!

   Anyway, rejoice with me. This is a big milestone for me! All the sweeter by the fact that it is a natural weightloss that won't be super hard to keep off now. Actually I'll tell you that I weighed in at a whopping 175lbs at the worst of my weight about two and half years ago. So actually I've lost 27lbs so far! I'm pretty proud of myself.

   As I said my next goal is pre-McGee weight which was 142lbs and then I think I'll aim for the weight I was most comfortable at which was around 133lbs. But I'll go a step at a time for now! I think I'll go give myself a treat!

Hey - good for you! I'm so happy for you! You are right, losing weight slowly is ALWAYS the way to go and the lifestyle changes you've taken will stay with you, too. Keep up the good work. I've been unable to get onto your blog for many days - our computer is so slow, I have times like that. Been thinking about you, though! Take care!
