My baby boy is almost 15 months old and I'm still losing weight! I gained over 50 pounds with both of my pregnancies. And hopefully I don't do that with my third! If God should bless me with another one :)
It really does get harder to lose the weight with each pregnancy and getting older. Or maybe you just get more tired because you have more things to do! Not sure! So, you can choose to spend your precious "me" time eating a Snickers bar and watching Teen Mom reruns or do something nice for yourself. Like go to the store & buy healthy foods or workout. You'll feel so much better if you choose to workout! This is something I tell myself often.
I've surpassed my prepregnancy weight by 6 pounds this time. I think I've lost around 56 pounds since the day I had Zander. I'm not sure what I weighed on delivery day, didn't look!

This progress photo shows a 42 pound difference. The picture on the left was taken on Christmas and one month after baby. This picture made me sad at the time but now I realize most people still look pregnant one month after having a baby.
I decided to take some pictures after my run yesterday because I was feeling fabulous! Yes, I really did try to flex for a picture. Trying to get those arms thinner!
When we moved into our new house I stopped working out for a while and then the holidays came. I gained a few pounds. But since the New Year I've been back at it and have lost 4 pounds in the past month. I'm now running over 20 minutes without stopping to walk! That's amazing to me. Running does not come easy for me. I pretty much force myself to like it. I like that it gives me fast results in a short amount of time. But really I'm a class girl at heart. I love Zumba, Turbo kick & Step! I'm ready to join the gym in our new area. Because once it gets hot I won't want to run as much.
My goal is to lose another 15 by summer. I'd love that!I'm linking up with these linky parties...

Wow, great job!! You look awesome! I am hoping to start working out soon. The hardest part for me is going to be eating right.. I love me some food!
Congrats you look great. I shared my weight loss story on my blog, I lost about 100 pounds, gasp, I know that # still freaks me out. Keep up the good work. I would love for you to share at my weekly friday -Monday linky.
Thank you for the kind comments!
Laura- you can do it! Doesn't matter when you start just keep at it :)
Katy- I love food too! But I figure if I'm making most of our meals myself that's a lot healthier than going out to eat and I count the calories. I still eat good stuff.
Mindie- That's amazing! Congrats on your success. I'll be sure to visit your blog.
You look great! I love reading inspiring stories of others weight loss. Are you following a specific eating plan? Good for you! I am a new follower visiting from Five Days Five Ways. Vicky from Mess For Less
Vicky-Thank you for stopping by and to answer your question about eating..I try to eat around 1500 calories a day. More if I workout hard. I meal plan and cook almost all my food at home. I go out to eat maybe once a week and drink lots of water!

Awesome-way to go! I am worried about this. I am due in a week and I'm already 30 so my metabolism is shot. haha But, I've already had to learn discipline because I have gestational diabetes, so there's the silver lining in that.
Thank you Abbie for stopping by! Love your blog..you inspire me so much.
April- Hi there! Thanks for the blog love..don't worry the weight will come off in time! I'm sure you can do it.
