weight loss journey

Just wanted to share about my weight loss journey this time around. With Mattie the weight was gone in less than 6 months of having her. With ryder it's taken me almost 3 years. i'd start then stop b/c it wasn't going as fast as i had hoped. last spring i got down to the weight i am now then over the winter i gained 15lbs. i think that i lost the weight "too fast" last spring and so i pretty much gained it all back as soon as i started "eating" again...over eating that is. This year i started trying in March. i was 155 lbs. it took me a few weeks and i was down 5lbs. easy. Well, i was stuck at 150lbs for what seemed like FOREVER! i was exercising and eating "right" but it wasn't coming off. then eventually i got down to 146lbs. WOW i thought then i inched back up to 150lbs.aarrrgghh. well, it took a while but i reached 145lbs. victory. then i would continue to yo yo between 141 lbs to 146lbs. When we went on our cali trip i was back up to 145 lbs. i was tired of changing the little ticker thing so i just kept at 142lbs. then we went to camp and well, hello camp food. it was tasty i might add. anywoo, i feel like i've had a break through b/c i've lost 6lbs. in a week and a half and i've kept it off. i'm not exercising sorry to say. i just eat during the day and not at night. if i eat anyghing after 4 or 5 it is very little and low in calorie.

anyway, thought i'd share what i've been going through so maybe those of you who are struggling right now can be comforted that it takes a while to get the weight off.....and keep it off. that's the test now keeping if off.
