Skinny Jeans?!?!

Happy Friday to everyone!!  Nothing too exciting to post about, but hey you know you are excited to see I posted something ;)

When I was pregnant with Emma I gained...wait for it...50 pounds (no judging aloud! haha)  Within the first week I lost 20 of those pounds and then about 14 pounds in the three months I breastfed thereafter.
{On our 1st honeymoon right before I started Weight Watchers (before shot)}
After I stopped nursing and decided I still felt like the size of a mack truck needed to continue to lose this weight and lose it NOW, I joined Weight Watchers and lost another 28 pounds in the five months I was going to meetings.  Yes, thats right folks I lost a total of 62 pounds in 9 and a half months, and I definitely would not have been able to do it without joining Weight Watchers and being motivated each week to get an award.

Along with losing the wait I became much more motivated to work out, I started taking spinning classes and became OBSESSED with it (can't wait to start it up again!).  Weight Watchers set a 5k challenge for all its members and I started running and eventually ran a 5 mile (instead of 5k) race in about 58 minutes (which was huge for me because I barely trained and always thought I couldn't run).

This time around I only gained 46 pounds, woohoo haha!!  Within the first two weeks I lost 22 pounds and now that I am 5 weeks out I joined Weight Watchers again, because I believe in their program and I KNOW it works for me!  I am looking to to lose about 31 pounds this time around and I am hoping my doctor give me the go ahead to start working out again.  While I am nursing I will probably stick with my on demand workout videos, Wii fit workouts, and running outside.  Eventually I would like to get back into the gym, but lets face it I have two babies and getting to the gym just ain't happening.

So, here is the before picture of me...

I will keep you all updated with my progress.  I know that because I am nursing they don't like you to be losing too much weight, so as they say slow and steady wins the race!  But one day I WILL get back into those skinny jeans, right?!?! haha, YES I WILL!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, see you all next week!
