I have to say, I gained too much weight during my (first) pregnancy and was worried about how to get it off before I procreate again. I was totally against weight loss pills and didn’t really think a weight loss fad was for me- if I remember to take my bc pill everyday I’m doing great so counting points was out of the question! I have successfully lost it all in 15 months, hurray and NO there is no such thing as quick weight loss sadly. I owe my success to portion control, if you eat more than three of your fists in a meal- you’re eating too much; having healthy snacks like carrots, cheerios, and yogurt, twice a day to keep my hunger down for meals; and keeping my desserts to frozen yogurt, fruit, and the OCCASIONAL homemade chocolate goodie- Saturday nights are our splurge night but I do have dessert 4 out of the 7 nights in a week because I just love food and all things sweet!
I have to recommend looking into a Wii. I know they are expensive, but honestly my whole family gets into it. Grandma, Sister, Niece, Husband, Baby, you name it- they play together. For us, it has been a great way to bridge the gap between the generations and create much more meaningful relationships. My mother will bowl or play tennis with her grandkids now, when in real life, she wouldn’t be able to do those things. And I must say that in this time where every kid is a winner no matter what- this is a great way to teach your kids about how to lose gracefully and that in life, they can’t always get what they want and that it’s ok- they can try again next time! I have the Wii fit too and it is very motivational. It scolds me-in a friendly way, when I haven’t been exercising regularly and it shows me how to do every move- including all the yoga poses!
Good luck with your weight loss, you CAN do it- stay motivated to get off the blood pressure meds and stay healthy for you kids!

I am sure if you continue to lose weight and do yoga you will be off those meds in no time!

I have been taking BP meds for a few months, never thought I would be taking them. I am watching what I eat and trying to knock off a few pounds. I second your growing old is a pain statement. LOL Great job on the 16 pounds down.

16 pounds down is awesome! I’m sure that bp will drop along w/the rest of the pounds.

I’m doing WW again too but I haven’t faithfully done the wendy plan yet…oh good grief I might as well admit it, I haven’t faithfully been doing WW till this week and I started back in July!

CUTE you and your bangs!!!
