Ready? Get Set. Go!!
And we're off!! It's time to shed that baby weight. And yes, with MAJOR reluctance, I am posting my first picture of me on the scale. Like I said before, I think the Weight Watchers meetings were successful for me because there was that element of accountability to someone else. So, you guys get to be that "someone else!" Aren't you lucky?! LOL!
A little background: I am 5'3" with a fairly petite frame. Before I got pregnant, I was 118. I gained 40 pounds during the pregnancy. Ideally, I need to be 113-115 pounds.
So here goes.....ugh.....am I really going to do this??
So, there ya go. I need to lose about 11-13 pounds. To complete my weekly task, my reasons that I CAN include my two girls. I want to live a healthy lifestyle in order to instill these behaviors in them.
Need some motivation this week? I have lined up a GREAT prize! Shelley from RasCat Designs has donated this turquoise aWRISToCAT weight loss bracelet!
Tired at the end of the day trying to remember the number of what you were trying to TRACK or having to write it down numerous times during the day? Now you can attain you goals by tracking on your “aWRISToCAT” tracking bracelet!
What To Track:
Points on your weight loss program
Ounces of water
Fat Grams
Carbohydrates
How it works: Put your charm at the first stone/bead of your bracelet and move the charm each time you need to count. For example, I use mine to track the ounces of water I drink each day. Each bead counts for 2 ounces of water and each time I drink water, I move the charm the appropriate number of beads. Each bead can also count for 1 point on your weight loss program or whatever increment you like. At the end of the day, you know exactly where you are in meeting your goal!

I looked at your pic and think women are going to throw things at you.
I know you prob. do a lot, but I find dancing to the wiggles and going down the slide at the playground seems to keep my weight off. LOL. I am below my prepreg weight with Lochlan from that. :)
Good luck and I will try to help spread your meme for more motivation!
Ugh. I climbed on the scale this morning to discover that my 1 lb. goal should really be 2. Stinking Halloween candy!!!
