Happy Belated 40--to me!

Nope...I'm not 40 years old (thank goodness...that would be quite a jump--25 to 40)!

I never officially got to celebrate losing 40 lbs since starting my weight loss journey which was my BIG GOAL. (YAY!)

I was out of town when I reached it.  When I got home, I never posted about it until now.

I'm still going...don't worry.  I'm just getting really close to my ideal weight and it's going to get TOUGH!

Wish me luck!


Some info for those interested:

I have lost 58 lbs. since coming home from the hospital with Beau. 
--The first 17 lbs. just fell off. 
--The next 41 did not just fall off.  A combination of exercise and strict diet took them off. 
--I am now wearing some of the smallest pants I own. 
--I still don't quite fit in my wedding dress--yes, I tried it (but breastfeeding has a part in that...which I'm not stopping yet.)
--I am about 7 lbs. from what I weighed when I got married (but remember that muscle weighs more than fat--and let's face it, I was a lot more muscular back then).
--Eating adequate amounts of fiber (as in the recommended amount) is one of the things I pay a lot of attention to when losingweight--just a little secret from me to you!
