GeekMom Weightloss Journal. Update with Pictures!

So it finally hit me I had reached over 200lbs while I was pregnant. 200...? Seriously? I'd kind of floored me. I'm only 5'3 and the only part of me thats big is my chest. I'd always been skinny since I danced professionally my whole life (No not a stripper) I have never had to worry about my weight.

Of course in high school I had weight fluctuated but, I don't think I weighed over 150. With my first pregnancy I weighed about 180 when I gave birth shortly after her birth I started working and went on an all raw diet and lost about 20 pounds then I got into a bad relationship and started stress eating. I'm sure I hit at least 200 and never weighed myself.

The years past and I stayed about 180 when I gave birth to Sebastian I weighed about 215 pounds. Given he was a 9lb 8oz baby so there's 10 pounds right there. Then I stayed right at 195 and could not budge.

Now I am 181. I'm so excited. 181!!! My goal for this week is to hit 179 by next Saturday. I'm starting today to drink as much water as I can and try to get rid of water weight and I just stopped AF so some more bloating will go down!

Sizes
Pants 12-14
Shirts Large - Xlarge (Doubt it will change much cause of having large breasts)
Underwear size 6 (I have no butt)

Measurements
Arms (Closest to shoulder "bingo wing area") 13 inches
Legs closet to panties 24 inches
Chest (rib cage) 38 inches
Waist 41 inches
Stomach (Right below belly button including love handles) 46 inches
Bust 45 inches

So now I am off to work out (stretching, yoga and possibly some hiking)

Here's me at my nephew's graduation about a week or so ago. Bottom right in the grey hoodie

That's all the pictures I have of all of me. I honestly try to avoid getting th lower half

Updating! I plan on losing 2 pounds this week through pure sweat and drinking my weight in water.

I can't wait to see 179!

GeekMom · #3 June 20th, 2011, 07:58 PM

I've hit a plateau....

I'm still 181 pounds. I should be starting Zumba soon going to start doing that during the day while DF is at work and once he gets home it's 30 - 60 minutes of Pilates and I go for a walk around the block (about 15 minutes) around sunset...

If only DF would get in the mood and we could exercise like we used too... haha!!

GeekMom · #4 June 23rd, 2011, 10:28 PM

179 and holding! So exciting!

Awesome! I love graduating from a new "decade"! Say goodbye to the 180s forever!

169! As of 1 pm today. I always weigh myself after my nap with the baby! I've lost 2 inches off my hips and waist and that's after eating! I've lost 10 pound since June 23rd!

I had my surgery on the 3rd and my weight went back up to about 172 and at the doctor's office the day before yesterday I was an even 170 both on their scale and mine.

Now I am about 164. Which is a little less than my pre-surgery weight. I'm still bloated and still swollen so I'm sure that will go down with time. I'm not going to obsess over my weight for the next week or so don't want to worry myself.

GeekMom · #12 August 12th, 2011, 04:29 PM

GeekMom · #13 September 7th, 2011, 08:45 AM

It's been so long since I have updated. I've been having a icky time with recovering from surgery and thought I was going to have to have hernia repair surgery but I dont! But, that was 2 extra weeks of no exercise!

I'm currently 154.6 which is 9 pounds away from my goal on 10/10 of 145. I was going to make my goal day be the 1st (B's bday) but, I'll be on my period and running around like crazy that day.

GeekMom · #16 October 5th, 2011, 08:09 PM

148 and holding. I finally got over the pain from p90x the first few weeks and took Bastian's first birthday week off. This week I have been having super bad back pain so another week with no P90x. I have been lifting weights while watching Drop Dead Dive though.

I don't think I am going to drop 3 pounds in 5 days since I can't exercise but, you know what? 83 pounds in one year? I'll take it. Here's to the next 25ish pounds by my birthday.

My mini goal is 135 by New Year's Eve... That's 13 more pounds in 13 weeks.

GeekMom · #17 October 20th, 2011, 06:57 AM

GeekMom · #18 October 26th, 2011, 07:41 AM

143 pounds! I finally hit my mini goal! It feels so good to not have a ton of extra weight on me!

Here's a new picture. I was getting quite tired of DF taking pictures of me after this point I think he had taken close to 20...

Still have a ton of stretch marks on my stomach and thighs but, I'm not too un-pleased with my body. I still can't wait to see 125 though!
