Personal Victory
I went for my 6-week check up with the doctor today and got my clean bill of health. She also told me I've lost 30 lbs and only have 3 more to go to be back where I was when I got pregnant. This is a huge personal victory for me because, as anyone who knows me knows, I really struggle to lose weight. I never lost the last 5 lbs I gained when I was pregnant with Collin. I've still got 6 weeks of maternity leave left and my goal is to be back where I was when I got pregnant with Collin or smaller. Nick and I have been going for a 1.5 mile walk almost every morning and I've been trying to make healthier choices in my diet. Its nice to see that its paying off. Results are the best motivation.

Congrats!!! That's awesome! I know how you feel! By my 6 week check up I was back at my pre-pregnancy weight (not that that was a great number) And I've lost another 6 pounds since then. I guess chasing around after Gabriel, and carrying Kylie everywhere has paid off a little bit. The only thing that sucks is that even tough I've lost the weight, my stomach looks worse than ever because of the stretching I had when I was pregnant. It is totally repulsive!!!
WOO HOO!!!! I am so excited for you! Your success is motivating me to get off my butt! :) It's makes me think... 2 kids must make you skinnier. Hmmm...
Two kids DO make you skinnier....because who has time to eat? Now if my joints would stop creaking and groaning so I can exercise without feeling so much pain...
Good job Erin! You can do it!
congrats erin. i never lost all of the weight from when i was pregnant with haley (then again, i had lost a bunch of weight right before i got pregnant with her and was tiny). i am now between where i was before i got pregnant with brendan and before i got pregnant with haley. two kids definitely helps. mine are now over 50 lbs when i carry them together. and they are right, who has time to eat with 2 (or whose kids let them)? congrats, you sound so happy.
