At Pre-Pregnancy Weight

Finally! It took 3.5 months but I managed to loose 50 lbs!!! yes that seems like a lot in a short time but the first 30 was water weight. Yes, I was one of the lucky ladies to retain as much water weight as possible during pregnancy. I am far from being done as I still have 30 plus pounds to go but making it to pre-pregnancy weight is a huge accomplishment for me and is one of my mini goals.
So how did I do it? well, 3 different ways. First let me tell you that I did a ton of research while pregnant on what diet I wanted to try. I decided on Weight Watcher's because it's not a DIET, it's a life style change and you can eat what you want as long as you have the points to "Spend". Anyway, I won't bore you with details that you probably already know ;) So the second thing was I breastfed/feed. You burn a few hundred calories a day breastfeeding. So it's good for mama and baby! Third, I started walking the dog to his Saturday camp instead of driving. It's just short of 7K round trip pushing a double stroller up killer hills. I also did a 5K with The Running Room
And just to add that with any life style change it takes patience, research and self discipline. Motivation helps too:)
So I decided to try and have some fun with recipes and made all kinds of stuff that I wouldn't normally make. This is to starve off boredom with eating the same old things again and again.

This is pancakes made with a ww smoothie packet and 1/3 cup egg whites or egg beaters. Mix and cook like a pancake. Top with berries and whip cream. YUMThis was mid cooking so it wasn't quite finished. I love stir Fry's so I try and use as many different flavourings with spices as I can.

I also eat a lot of Kabobs, fruit, salads, nuts, yogurt, tuna, fiber one bars, bran muffins, and whatever else I want to eat. I do limit bread tho as it sits hard in my stomach and causes me to bloat!

So that's it in a nut shell:) I will post more updates as they happen. Thanks for reading and I love reading your comments:)
