Way to go Gina on the 3 lbs. You know that I've found that some of my worst eating days are when I lose weight. I wonder if after depriving/skimping on the "goodies" after so many days that your body just actually uses sugar and fat in the "right way" (if there is such a thing). Though I wouldn't recomment doing it every day - pizza and beer are great every once and a while!!! hee hee
My husband and I enjoy social drinking every now and then but I've not drank in about a month now because it seems that EVERY time I do - I end up gaining a lb or 2 by the next morning. It's not worth the buzz to feel totally depressed the next day. I've actually found too that by laying off it for long periods that when I do go to have a drink that I'm a cheap date those nights too
Doesn't take much when you don't have one that often - Ha ha.
Anyway. I've maintained weight these two days at 154 1/2. I'm begging the scales to see 153 - that would be the least I've weighed since my first year of marriage. I probably wieghed 138 when we married and it has just rose upward since then. My highest wieght was 218 with my son. 212 leaving the hospital after having him
Tell me how that math works === my son was 10 lbs 11 oz!!!! and I didn't even lose 10 lbs when I left the hospital after having him!!! (just so you know I had him natural too
--- Everyone asks. Thank God for epidurals.
Anyway, my husband and I have been married 7 1/2 years. We're high school sweethearts. I started losing weight for me about a year after my son was born and I've just very slowly been maintaining and losing since then. I think that now that I've satisified my need to lose weight I feel like I want to make sure I maintain for my husband. He gives me an amazing amount of attention and I want him to always be proud of me as his wife. (don't get me wrong - he's never been negative about me...actually he's probably lied to me a couple times in the past when I asked the dreaded question "do I look fat in this" and he said "of course not honey you look great").....bless his heart!!!
I'll work on getting some pics of my family in my profile for you gals. I'm really blessed with an awesome husband and son and want to share them. Sounds like you gals are too.
FL mom keep up the losing!!! I'm so proud to see a woman on the right track before birth (or adoption). I wish I had the courage to do it before my son. I probably wouldn't have soo many stretch marks
