Here we go….I am a little nervous but know I have done so well by sticking to my points allowed each day of the past week. I really hope I have lost. It will make me so giddy.
I was looking back on pictures. I lost my weight sooooooo good after M. Back in size 6’s by the time she was 6 months old. Here is one picture of just my face, but you can tell how great I looked.
I got pregnant with my wonderful bundle of joy number 2 L and from the get go, just couldn’t lose the weight. Here I am when she was 8 weeks old in the hospital with RSV. This picture shows how big I am, but it makes me so sad because M was sick as well and needed me just as much as L did.
See the difference in my face? UGGGH. I am shooting for my face to go back to the first picture. I can do it I can do it I can do it!!!
I tried a great Weight Watcher’s recipe tonight. You may want to try it. Each slice is only 1 point.
1 box of cake mix (I used Orange Dream, you can use just plain white cake mix)
1 can of diet Sunkist drink
2 egg whites.
Bake as the temperature on the cake box.
Let the cake cool and top with fat free whipped cream.
It was a big hit here tonight… everyone enjoyed it. I didn’t feel guilty eating it either since it was so low in points YAY 🙂
You don’t even need the eggs Jen, I posted about this here…http://www.mommymusings.com/diet-coke-cake/

Oh my word girl. You can’t show a picture of you 8 weeks after a baby and say you look fat! Hardly anyone looks great after only 8 weeks. 😉
I actually think you look beautiful. In fact, one of the pictures you posted of yourself in recent weeks made me think you had lost weight.
I know you want to lose weight. And probably to feel better not just look better. And that is a good thing but please don’t look at yourself and see something large and ugly because that is not what we see.
HUGS!

Diet coke cake Steph? That sounds great 🙂 Best of luck with the weigh in!
Yeah, 8 weeks after baby #2 is still time to be enjoying the excuse of extra baby weight.
But good luck on the weigh in. It is nice to lose weight if you feel better and healthier.

Oh, I think you are so beautiful. You have that youthful face. WW is such a great program and I need to go back. I did great on it when I went to the meetings. You really need the support system of friends. I have faith in you that you will do great. The cake sounds yummy.

Oh I know, Becca is almost 3 now – and there’s absolutely no excuse for my lack of losing weight. I hate seeing myself in the mirror or in photos. I just can’t seem to work up the energy or motivation to try losing weight. Good for you – you’re going to do great! 🙂

Congrats on the weight loss. My strategy is eating 2 turkey sandwiches, a salad, two pieces of fruit, and some cereal. It helps that these are the only types of food that I keep in my house.
