53 Pounds

I have made a lot of significant changes this year.. I remember this time last year I was pretty miserable.. Lucy was such a great baby, but i was having a hard time nursing her, and kept getting mastitis and it just wasn't working.. I was sore because I had to have a c-section and to top it all off.. I had gained a TON of weight with sweet little Lucy! I remember thinking something has to get better.. i started loosing my weight.. i was exercising eating pretty good, and it was slowly coming off.. then thanksgiving came and I gained most of it back, all but about 10lbs! I was reading one of Lane's mission friends blog, and she totally inspired me!

I am going to put it all out there.. numbers and everything! How fun right!

Right before I had Lucy weighed in at 201

I remember my sister being in the room and them asking me how much I weighed and feeling so embarrassed that I actually weighed that much!

After she was born, there are virtually no pictures of me.. but for we took a family picture the night we celebrated Lane's birthday! I looked at them that night and was just so mad that at what I had done.. I wasn't happy, and in turn it was making everyone else in our house grumpy!

I think i was about 185 or 190 here!

It wasn't long after this that i bought a bodybugg! It really made me want to change!

I didn't even really exercise all that much at first, i just kept track of what I ate and once the weather got good the girls and i walked ALOT!! I mean we would go for 5,6, 7 mile walks every night after dinner!

Now.. 10 months later i am at 148 and am really close to being where i want to be...

I lost 53 pounds in 10 months!

I remember reading Love's blog telling myself that when i loose my weight i will blog about it too!

I know that it is such a mental battle and once you get your head in the game the rest is easy!

It wouldn't be a fun blog if there weren't any pictures of these sweet things:)
