That I used to weigh 170 at the beginning of May and I now currently weigh 140? 135 is my goal. At that time I get to spend my 150$ gift card at Lulu Lemon. I used to weigh 115 - 120 ish before Curtis

haha

Me and James have been seeing a personal trainer and changed our eating habits the beginning of May. He's lost over 30 pounds.. and boy do we look different!

Hehe I'm just proud of us. I was walking to put Dustin down for his nap as he had fallen asleep in my arms and as I walked down the hall my shorts fell off... haha.Good thing I didn't trip!

Any random news about you???

That is AWESOME news! I have full intentions of loosing some weight beyond pre-pregnancy weight come the new year but I know how difficult it can be.

In high school when I rode horses and rowed on the crew team I weighed 135-150. A year after I graduated college I was up to 205 (yikes!). Watching what I ate and doing very minimal exercise I was able to get back down to 165 a year ago but was back to 185 pre-pregnancy. So far at 23 weeks I have only gained 4 pounds (up to 189) with doing some pregnancy safe exercises and healthy eating. I am hoping to not gain that much but am expecting that I will probably break 200 again in the end. I would love to get down to 150 at some point. How is that for a lot of numbers in one paragraph?

How often do you see your personal trainer?

We actually only see her every other Tuesday. She's giving us a good deal and letting us go a little less often so it doesn't cost as much. She's a really good friend of James (A customer he helps at his work) and now a good friend of mine. I love her to death!

She has us on a meal plan (sorta but NOT a diet) and a work out plan.

Wow, that is quite an accomplishment! You have every reason to feel proud of yourselves. Keep up the good work, it's really paying off!

That is so awesome! You look so great!!!

I lost about 60 lbs before getting PG with our loss. I never got back full into the swing of things before getting PG again, but now that I'm feeling better, DH and I still go and I just watch my heart rate. He is still losing weight and just looks amazing, I'm so proud of him.

And good for you for doing it the "hard" way. I've had so many people ask me "how did you do it!?" and when I say "Working out 5-6 days a week and watching what I eat" they seem almost disappointed. What do they expect me to say - I ate cookies and just sat on the couch for 9 months?

I am so jealous! I wish I could have reached my goal weight (was only 25 lbs away) but being knocked up won out in the end.
