Weight Loss After Baby

I ran across this picture when I was uploading some other ones. This was taken 2 days before Madison was born. Everyone kept telling me how small I was during my pregnancy. I sure felt like a blimp. Everyone would always ask me how much weight I had gained, and I HATED that question. I mean that's like going up to someone who wasn't pregnant and asking them how much weight they had gained. My standard answer was "a lot." Most people thought I only gained like 25 or 30 pounds, and IF I did tell them that I gained a whole lot more, then they were shocked. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I gained 40 pounds. I've lost 29 of those pounds though. So, I've got 11 pounds to go. I was really hoping to have lost all my weight before going back to work, but since I only have a week left, I don't think I'm going to make it. I've been following Weight Watchers, and trying to do pilates. I've lost about 5 or 6 pounds since I started doing that. I thought I had lost weight this week, but we went out to a steak restaurant on Saturday night. I really over ate, so I think that has something to do with it. So, the real reason I'm writing all of this is to REALLY motivate me to lose that last bit of weight. I really hate that I'm going to have to go buy work clothes this week. I'm only buying the bare minimum of what I need. My goal is to lose the rest of the weight by May. I have 2 weddings to attend the first 2 weekends of May, and I want to be back to my pre-baby weight. Hopefully, I can do it!!
