Making Progress

It has been a year since I have started to work to take off the weight I gained while I was pregnant.  I've been making some progress and am finally at my pre-pregnancy weight!   Now I am going to begin training for the Orange County Half Marathon in May and work on toning with strength training as my next fitness goal.

At delivery I had gained 74 pounds.  After the swelling went down I lost 16 pounds ending up with 58 pounds of baby weight.  So here is a visual diary of the loss of those 58 pounds...
March 2012 - Down 8 pounds
July 2012 - Down 16 pounds
September 2012 - Down 30 pounds
February 2013 - Down 58 pounds
 And here is a side view comparison...
March 2012
February 2013
And this is how I feel about all this...
I can't wait to show you an updated pic after my half marathon three months from now in May!

I am so proud of you. I am totally struggling to lose the weight I gained AFTER the baby was born (2 years ago). I had gestational diabetes so did not gain much while pregnant...but then kind of went a little too hog wild after and then couldn't find the time to work out (work full time and two kids...not a good recipe for free time). I'm finally making progress but it is slooooow. You give me motivation. keep up the good work!!!!
