31+ weeks
So here I sit 31+ weeks pregnant so anxious to get back on the weight loss wagon. I know that it is going to be a very slow go at first because I will be breast feeding but I am ready for it. I just want to get back on the Weight Watchers Program. I hate watching the scale creep up and up. I look and I was 176 lbs last year and now I am over 200 lbs again and I hate it!! I was on meds for 5 months and had 2 miscarriages within 4 of the 5 months (before I got pregnant) that contributed to about 15 lbs weight gain before I got pregnant this time around.
I wish I could workout in the gym but I cannot. I have horrible sciatica and I have been having Braxton Hick and real contractions on and off from the time I was about 18 weeks pregnant so my OB had highly advised against it.
I am counting the days down to the EDD of this baby (61 days to EDD) I know that I am going to have to wait 3-4 weeks, at the minimum, before I can start back to Weight Watchers and 4-6 weeks before I can get back into a real workout schedule. My goodness, I just can't wait for that.
I would love to be able to be just about at my goal weight by 12/31 of this year. Now I know that I will lose about 15 lbs by the time I leave the hospital so I am hoping to lose about 50 lbs from mid May to 12/31. I know that with dedication, determination and self-control, I can do it! I want to be at my ultimate goal weight before we start to ttc for 1 last time. So that means to be between 130-140 by mid 2010/ Wish me luck!!!
