I lost 25 lbs in the first two weeks after giving birth. All of it being the water weight from me being so extremely swollen towards the end of my pregnancy. I still have about 20 more pounds to lose to get to my pre-pregnancy weight. I started to workout and have continued my healthy lifestyle to get back to my old weight, but I have to be realistic and know that it WILL NOT happen over night. I know I can not be too hard on myself because I did not gain weight for no reason. It took me nine months to put it on for my baby and it will take a few months to get back to it. I also have to keep in mind that I have to maintain healthy and account for approximately 400-500 calories more a day because I am still nursing (and plan to do it for at least a year). So, if you are a new mommy like me or just had another baby, then just take it slow and have patience with your weight loss journey. My journey is just beginning and I will be updating you guys just to show you that with time and dedication you can reach your goals.

My Weight loss Journey
Is it just me or is everyone trying to be fit and toned nowadays more than ever?! Yes! I too have been on this trend. I have always been on and off diet fads and I was never able to maintain my weight until a year before I got pregnant. Go figure, huh. Just when I thought I was at my goal, I put it all back on plus more!!.... Normally if I put on weight I would be so upset with myself but I'm totally not upset or complaining because I gained weight for my beautiful healthy baby girl. She has made my life complete and for that I am grateful. After all I can lose the weight overtime.
