30 pounds

So, I have decided to up my weight-loss regimen by joining weight watchers online. When we lived in AZ I did Weight Watchers and was fairly successful at it, though at that time I only had about 10-13 pounds that I wanted to lose. So I know how the program works, and this will help me stay on track with my food. Plus, they have a specific program for nursing moms, so that is a positive for me. And I am going to tell you, all my blog readers, that my goal is to lose 30 pounds. There. I said it out loud. So now I will come back here periodically and let you know my progress. 30 pounds isn't really an arbitrary number, it is the amount that I still need to lose to get to 5 lbs below what I was when I got pregnant. It's the amount that I need to lose to really be able to fit into my clothes. So obviously it's going to take a while, but I am committed. Another thing I did today was buy some decent workout clothes that fit. Anybody else out there a lot more motivated to work out if you have something cute to wear? I know my brother-in-law Josh knows what I'm talking about. So there you have it. Weight Watchers, 30-day shred (which I'm doing in a lot more than 30 days because I don't do it every day), and walking and jogging with Ezra is my plan. Wish me luck!

ETA: Chad let me know that the comment about Josh was vague, so what I meant by that was Josh enjoys athletic clothing, specifically shoes, specifically Nike (right Josh?). Specifically when he is a coach and has an unlimited budget for ordering gear.

Way to go, Lesley! There's several of us (Crossroads Girls) with aspirations to get back to our pre-prego weight...so I don't think you'll have any problem finding encouragement. Good Luck!

You can do it! You have a head start because you nurse! You will be looking awesome at Blue haven and I'll be really "soft."

What's a "shred?"
