Time for my weekly weight loss update.
I lost 1.5 lbs. last week. π
So here’s where I’m at in terms of my weight loss goal this year…
Current Weight:Β 215.5 lbs.
Goal Weight:Β 170 lbs.
# of total pounds I want to lose in 2012:Β 50lbs.
# of pounds to go until I reach my goal: 45.5Β lbs.
Total # of pounds lost to date: 4.5 lbs. (I’ve actually lost 33 lbs. since I came home from the hospital 7 weeks ago, but I’m only counting the weight I’ve lost since starting this challenge.)
The exciting part is that I’m only 2 lbs. away from my pre-pregnancy weight at just under 8 weeks postpartum! I was 213.5 lbs. when I found out that I was pregnant with Elisabeth, and I’m hoping to get these last 2 pregnancy pounds off in the next two weeks.
I spent a good amount of time on the treadmill last week, and I worked out my arms with the exercise band. We also walked around the zoo for Family Day. We went to Chick-fil-A for their free breakfast entree for our Family Day, so the walk at the zoo helped to burn a lot of those extra calories.
This week, I’m going to continue to focus on getting on the treadmill when I have a chance and working my arms with the exercise band.
How’s your weight loss progress going?
Good for you! I totally need to get my eating habits under control so I could actually lose some weight…I go to the gym 5 days a week, but I’m not losing weight. Maybe I should stop snacking!
Thanks, Erin! Going to the gym 5 days a week is fantastic! π
Great Job! I am only been working out at home. Works out best for me. I am hoping to get better with my eating this week. I seem to do much better when I limit the amount of carbs I eat. I am a sugar person. Once I am off of it the weight comes off but getting off the sugar is the hard part for me. Great to see your progress.
