Ok.... so, I'm new.
I don't have scales in my house for good reason. I think obsessing about a number for a weight is stupid and messes with your worth as a person.
That said, I went in for my super fun annual women's exam and the doctor said, "Is it really possible that you've put on 20 pounds this year?"
Yaaay for awesome doctor! Anyway. I guess I put on 20 pounds.
I lost 20 pounds before after I gave birth to my son. I lost the baby weight, and put it all back on plus five. Then I decided that I should have a salad with EVERY meal I ate because I was eating out a lot and making myself only eat half of the burger and saving the rest for lunch the next day.
I am no longer going out to at so much. I got doggies to walk and I have a bike to ride. Part of the reason for the dogs was so I'd walk and drop some weight.
I'm not sure I have but the number isn't the concern. I need to lose weight so I don't keep getting asked when I'm due, have my doctor tell me she can't "feel my uterus due to a little extra in the front", and am not EXHAUSTED all the time. So, feelable uterus, energy, and not being asked when I'm due.... ready, set.... GO!
