I Did It!

So, when I was pregnant with Beck, I gained an unbelievably stupid 46 pounds (see my fat butt in the picture below). After Beck was born, it took me a grueling five months to get back to my pre-baby weight. Recently, after my surgery and the activity restrictions that I had, I had put back on another eight pounds. So, following a vigorous regimen of getting off my lazy butt and not eating like such a pig, I finally achieved my goal this week and I am back again to my pre-pregnancy weight. Unfortunately, as any mom will attest to, my body still doesn't look the same as it did pre-Beck. I just don't think it ever will. Oh, the joys of motherhood. I'm just glad to have those eight pounds off of my back (and stomach and butt and thighs) because I feel much better than I did a few months ago!

Congratulations of the weight loss! I for one know exactly how hard it is to lose the baby weight! I am still 3 lbs. shy of my pre self, good thing we love our babies enough to make it worth it!

Good job Laura. I still haven't lost all of mine. Tell me your secret. You look cute in this picture...all pregnant.

I think you look adorable too. But I also congratulate you on losing the 8 pounds. I am still trying to lose my baby weight from when I had Michael. He is now 22. Hmmm. Not sure if it is going to happen in this lifetime. Good thing I have a skinny spirit. Movie night was great! Thanks for hosting it! Love ya, Wendy

Laura, thanks for your sweet words. I am proud of you! That is my biggest fear; losing all this weight I've managed to pack on! You look so good. And by the way, I absolutely love the movie Waitress. It is one of my all time favorites, and every time I have seen it I can't wait to bake a pie. Seriously.
