Mamma Gallagher: Weight Watchers

So today I am starting weight watchers again. I might not be cleared yet to work out, but I am going to try my best at eating the best I can. Now I know I have been successful before and am very determined. But, I am concerned with not losing like I did before. For one, having a baby changes your body and I have heard from so many people that no matter how much weight they lost their body was never the same. And also trying to balance having a newborn with making healthy meals, exercising eventually, and taking the time that is needed to do all these things and take care of myself seems a bit overwhelming. Plus, I am going to be 30 in about a month. Which I know is still young, but not the mid 20s that I was before when I lost weight the first time and at that age your re-bound and metabolism is better.

Still I am going to do the best I can and hope that the weight will come off once again. I know I have an awesome support system in my hubby who is all for me taking the time I need to go to the gym and exercise and eating right. I know this is key!!!

I have taken off about 20lbs already, but having stopped breast feeding the weight is at a stand still. I would still like to lose another 50-60lbs ultimately. I put on some weight prior to me getting pregnant and would like to be back to my wedding weight. That and just toned up. I look at my thighs and think whose thighs are these, LOL.

And now for getting real!!! Trying to keep it honest and real and keep myself accountable and not "hide" or "cover" up anything. Yep, I still can't believe I am posting these, but here it goes. This is me today 2/20/13 almost a month after giving birth. No makeup, messy hair and just real life.
