In January 2009 I weighed 15 stone 11lb. This was 2 months after Robert was born, we were adjusting to life with a baby, ordering lots of takeaways as we were struggling to find time to cook. I was also suffering with postnatal depression so I guess it's no surprise my weight shot up.
By January 2010 I weighed 14 stone. Then I got pregnant with Christopher and my weight went up past 15 stone again. By the time he was 4 days old I weighed 14 stone 11lb.
Today I weighed in at 11 stone 11lb, which is 3 stone lighter than I weighed 6 months ago, and 4 stone lighter than I weighed 26 months ago.
I look at myself clothed in the mirror and like what I see. I feel much better already but I do still want to lose more weight and get fitter. Less than 2 stone to go. I'm glad it's carrying on well now.
Been meaning to comment since you updated but keep forgetting. VERY well done. I am very proud of you. Feeling good is the best thing.
ReplyDeleteLike you I want to improve my fitness and I do want to lose more weight but the target for me is a size 12, not a number on a scale. I want to be comfortable but enjoy life.
I'm now 5 stone lighter than when Liam was born just over 18 months ago and though I still have a long way to go, I do feel the benefits immensely. Every time I get down to the next stone mark, I promise myself I won't go up into the next one again. I may wobble in the middle of the zone from time to time, but I haven't gone back into another stone up since I made myself this promise.
