The Girl Who Used to Be Fat

My goal for this year is to no longer be The Fat Girl. I want to be The Girl Who Used to Be Fat. Right now, not only am I The Fat Girl, I'm The Girl That Used to Be Thin. I was always on the thinner side, then, while dancing in high school, I lost even more weight. After graduating, and starting to date my husband, I gained about 15 pounds. When I got married, I weighed 150, then 160 when I got pregnant with our first born. I thought I was a whale, but I knew nothing! My "little" guy weighed almost 12 pounds when he was born!! I gained 78. Almost immediately, I lost 48 pounds. Unfortunately, the rest of it has stuck around. After my next two births, I went straight back down to that number, but rarely budged from there. No more! I am done! My first big goal is to get back down to my original pre-pregnancy weight, then my pre-wedding weight.

Today I registered for the Redbook Wedding Dress Challenge! D and I will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary at the end of this month and I would l-o-v-e (love!!) to fit in my wedding dress when it rolls around. I have a lot of work ahead of me, but it is totally attainable. D has already lost 60 pounds! He is doing awesome; I hope I can do as awesome as he is. 

I'm not to thrilled at the idea of putting before pictures and starting weight out there for the world to see, but since this blog is just for me right now, I am going to bite the bullet and do it.

Starting Weight: 194

Before 07/12


There it is. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. Mainly because I'm pretty sure that no one will see this. :)

My diet and exercise will start tomorrow (I need to make a trip to the store!). Wish me luck!
