2 Skinny Girls trapped in Big Girl Bodies: Million Pound Match-UP

sorry i havent been on here much. I am back. My first grandson was born May 6th he was 20" long and 7lb 9oz. Mom and baby are doing fine. I went there for almost 2 weeks when he arrived. Mom i s already back down to prepregnency weight. I gained up to 172 while there as i didnt exrcise and ate anything i pleased. wow the weight comes back on so easily. I didnt realize how long it has been since i have bee on here. My first week back i lost 7.5 lbs I still have about 5 lbs to be back to the 159 i was at before he was born. I bought em a wi and have been doing the wii active that is a great program. I have also been out side walking as much as i can when it is not raining. Went looking for a treadmill but couldnt find one i like so i have decided that till it gets cold again i will work out side then i will join the gym so i can use the treadmills there. I have also signed up for a womens biathalon in september. I can not wait (pretty excited about that). My goal is to finish not to worry about my position. My sister is also doing it with me so should be fun. It is almost time to have to start doing the overtime but hopefully will still be able to get my exercise in. I am happy with my weight i just dont want to gain any. So i am for the most part staying in maintenance mode. I am still toying with the idea of a tummy tuck or boddy lift if i can maintain until next summer we will see. My focus is more on toning now then on weight. I will put pics of the new grandbaby on the page soon as i get a free moment seems like i am always working or running lately. Hope all is well with everyone and i am ready to get back on track!

Good morning everyone. I just thought i should check in as i havent in a while. I havent galost in over 3 weeks and this last week i gained like 1.2 which isnt bad nothing that i am worried about. Wow how sad the show last night. That was a tough choice but i think they made the right choice. I hope she continues to work on weight loss at home. With a few oth things. There is always something you can do. Hope everyone else is doing well and had a happy Easter!

ok guys sorry i been so busy lately I havent been on here to check on everyone and blog. I have stayed the same weight the last 2 weeks when i weighed in no loss no gain. That is good especially because last week i did no exercise. The plan is to get back to at least an hour of exercise at lunch. I have so much going on at the moment. I still am having trouble with my breathing so my half marathon i wanted to do is out. I am lucky to finish 4.6 miles right now as my chest kills me and my breathing sucks. I hack and cough all evening after running. Oh well maby the dr will figure it out soon and i will get to do it next year. As far as the weight i would love to lose more but if i dont that is ok also. I cant believe it snowed this last weekend but luckily it is already melted. I took last week off trying to get my easter dress finished but that didnt happen but that is ok i think i have it far enough along it should be good by easter. I am so ready for the spring weather. Hope all is well with everyone else. I will try to read and see when i finish here. Have a great losing day!

Thank God it is Friday. I am so ready for the weekend. Well this week i have got an hour of exercise in a day with the exception of Wed. I also havent donte today yet. But i think today will be either the stairs or maby a walk around for an hour at lunch. I have actually ran my 4.6 miles 2 times this week it was hard with the way my breathing has been lately but i am trying to not let it stop me. That is how i gained the weight in the first place is i have an injury or illness and let my self not exercise. I am not going to let this happen again.. I love the feel you get when you know you just ran 4.6 miles but throughout it i just think ihow much i would like to just stop and walk. I know exercise is better then none but it seems running takes it off of you much faster. I have been having pain in my knee after running also that is another reason i am thinking of doing something besides running today. Usually 1 day and it starts to let up. I have to get past this breathing thing though i truly want to do my first official half marathon this year which i believe is coming up in may. I did my personel one and i finished it good but i want to do this official one. That is the goal i have for now. Have agreat day and i will let you all know how the weigh in goes tommarow. Keep up the hard work.
