thank god for two-a-days

and weight watchers. they say it takes 9 months to put it on, and 9 to take it off. this was true for me. i want to preface this by saying yes, i am patting myself on the back, but more hoping to encourage someone that is in the middle of the postpartum weight loss battle by saying with work, it will come off.

as of today, i am officially BELOW my pre-pregnancy weight and wearing jeans i wore on my honeymoon! i took the cheese fry route to the 9th month of pregnancy and the day i went in to have link, i was 44 pounds heavier than i am now. lesson learned, don't use pregnancy as an excuse to slack off on normally good eating habits. ;)

it is an OVERWHELMINGLY WONDERFUL feeling. after months of weight watcher points and working out twice a day, i am there! in truth i didn't start WW until june, i just needed something regimented for that last 10 pounds. but i am there and so excited. i said early on here on my blog how much harder this was than i had expected...and i never dreamed it would take this long, but the battle is done. whew!

i am so excited about how well WW works and how easy it is, that i think i'm going to stick with it and see if i can't keep shedding a few more pounds.

all this and then i will probably have another baby and have to do it all over again. oh well, i'll just be happy for today! haha...

Congrats, Katie. I took the cheese-fry/3rd-helping route my first pregnancy, too! It was much easier to lose the weight the 2nd time around!
