Mission…Sort of Accomplished

Time to update on our journey back to health!

 

Since we began this journey back in December, Adam has lost THIRTY POUNDS!  How awesome is that?!  He also dropped not only a pants size but an entire belt size!  Good job, buddy!

 

I think what happened is that we both gained while I was pregnant but his didn’t just flush out after G$ was born (because, well, he didn’t give birth).  So now that we are BOTH eating healthy, his “baby weight” is gone.

 

Now, here is the best part (in my humble opinion):  I AM FINALLY UNDER MY PRE-BABY WEIGHT!  WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

My goal was to lose everything I gained before G$’s first birthday and I did it!

 

Of course, this is not the end of the road for either Adam or me.  We were both significantly overweight before we got pregnant, so although this is a major accomplishment, there’s still A LOT of weight to lose.  He wants to lose another 40 and I want to lose another 50.  But, you have to win all the battles before you can win the war, right?

 

Every overweight person has a certain “WTF” number…a weight that they thought they’d never get to…until they did.  My next small goal is to get under my own “WTF” number.

 

Adam and I both thank you all for your support throughout this process.  It’s been challenging but, overall, not as terrible as we initially thought.
