Time to get serious about weigh loss! in Life as a Mom of 2 boys.....and a girl!!

I am 11 week post partum now and I started counting calories and exercising more this past Monday and it’s going well. I’m eating around 1800 calories since I’m breastfeeding and on Monday I weighed in at 214.6 pounds. Eww!! That’s crazy high. When I started losing weight after having Miles I was 202. But I’m determined to do well and I always lose my baby weight so it’s all good. I joined a weight loss competition with some friends as well as a Dietbet and they both start this morning! The weight loss competition goes for 8 weeks and the Dietbet goes for 4 weeks. My dietbet was a $100 bet so you KNOW I’m serious because there’s no way I’m losing $100. It will be interesting to see how much I win in the end. So far that game has 226 players so the pot is $22,600. The cool part is that my weigh in on Monday was 214.6 and since I start these games today I had to weigh in just now and I’m 211 pounds so I’ve already lost weight from my efforts this week!

My body is great at losing weight while I’m breastfeeding so I know I’m going to get to where I want to be eventually. I’m thinking 165lbs is my goal. Which will likely take me til my birthday (November 4th) at least to reach! So we’ll see. I love doing competitions while I lose weight because I’m so competitive that I’m determined to do well. I won the 2 other dietbets I did in Feb 2015 and I also won a weight loss competition I did with some friends last year around the same time. Love it!

Summer woke me at 5:30 today which sounds early but she fell asleep for the night at 8:30pm so I can’t complain really. I’m dying to have some breakfast but I’m waiting for my dietbet weight to be approved before I start lol. I can’t wait to be under 200lbs. I hate being over 200lbs, especially since I’m 5‘4”. I feel so big right now. But I know I just have to be patient and I don’t really let it bother me too much. I should just go watch that show about 600lb people. Those always make me feel skinny lol
