Check me out!

I really like Jennifer's idea of posting a "fat girl blog". This way everyone can see just how well (or not so well) that I am doing. It also keeps me honest about my weight loss.

I am starting from my pre-pregnancy weight of 200 pounds. I gained 17 pounds at the time Paisley was born so I think that I am just red-hot right now!! It helps that since family was here we weren't eating fast food 4-5 times a week. If I keep that up that pounds should really start to come off.

The 190 pounds was what the scale at the gym read today. Yes, to everyone that I know is going to ask, I am taking it easy. I walked on the treadmill for 20 minutes and a low speed (2.5). I'll keep that up until I see Dr. Wood (my OB) on the 20th. As soon as he gives me the go ahead then I'll start revving up the work outs.

Tuesdays, for now, are the best day to weigh myself. It's early enough in the week so that I remember to take it easy over the weekend and Lorelei doesn't have therapy that day so for now that is going to be my "weigh day".
