I gained a considerable amount of weight while pregnant with my daughter. I had just finished with a year of weight watchers and had lost over 30 pounds. I think that my body was so excited to not be on a restricted calorie diet that it went a little crazy (as I did on occasion). I ended up gaining 45 pounds and ended up losing only about 20 of those pounds when little baby Ilya came out. Everyone kept saying that the rest would just melt away since I was breast-feeding. I don't know what world these people live in where pounds just "melt away." In my experience pounds have NEVER just "melted away," and post pregnancy was no different. In face, I gained weight.
Gaining weight, losing sleep, giving up my career, focusing on the needs of someone else 24/7 all contributed my depression (which I am thankfully almost completely rid of).
So, about three months ago, I joined weight watchers again as well as 24 hour fitness. Things were going great (I lost 12 pounds!) and then I kinda fell off the wagon - hence this blog post. I realized that the only way to be successful in my weight loss journey is to be accountable. I figure if I update my blog with my progress, it will keep me on track...so here goes:
I weigh in on Fridays.
Last Friday my weight was: 170.2 pounds.
I think that I probably gained weight this week as I have been eating whatever I like all week, including a pizza yesterday! I am dedicated to staying within my points today. I'll let you all know how it works out tomorrow.
