March 1st 2010

Hi everyone! Today is a wonderful day! It is the first day in my favorite month of the year and so far its off to a great start.

Weight in stats

Starting weight:200 lbs
Weight Last Week:186
Current Weight:184 lbs (just 3 away from what I was after Erin was born)
Difference: -2lbs
Total loss: 16 lbs

I am excited about my loss. I am past the initial big losses so hopefully I can lose 1-2 lbs a week from here on out. I have been able to shave about 11 weeks off of my goal so instead of being done in 70 weeks which would of put me at next June I might be done by middle of March 2011.

Guy is down 13 lbs! He started a week after me and he is doing great! We have been having a great time doing this together.

This is off topic but I am a proud mama! Erin started standing this week! She is only 7 months old and is really trying to walk. There will be a great way for me to lose weight right there. I am chasing the little one around.

Thats all for now.
