I am down 13 pounds altogether, and John is down 25.
When I made it to my first goal (5% of body weight lost) I rewarded myself with a haircut. It was my first since Sophia came and my "mom" cut. I was excited to get it. I had short hair when John first met me and he actually prefers it this way. And I prefer a change! :)
I went with a stacked bob, but a long one.
I've had several people over the years classify my hair as "thin". But my stylist says I actually have a lot of hair, it's just very very straight. Except for this one patch in the back near the nape of my neck, where my hair is borderline curly. I think this has only happened since being pregnant. Crazy hormones.
Also on a day I was feeling "skinny" I decided to take a body shot. I resisted the urge to suck it in :)
If this is the way I looked sitting down I'd be thrilled. Unfortunately when it's not all stretched out I have significant gut :( But still, I am happy with the progress.
And what does WW eating look like? Well it's probably one of the most no-fuss well supported programs out there. There are just gobs of recipes on the internet. But my meal planning is even simpler than that. We use the E-Meals service Portion Control Menu to plan our dinners. I save the recipes we enjoy. Here's a sampling of our meals:
Spinach feta topped chicken with a baked potato |
Sausage, carrot and white bean stew |
Tuscan chicken with herb roasted potatoes |
Cabbage and sausage soup (surprisingly good!) |
Ham and Swiss quiche |
Spinach Alfredo over spaghetti squash |
So if you're thinking you'd like to lose a few pounds, but don't want a drastic lifestyle change, and want to feed your family the same food you need, this is the plan!
I'll update you again once I reach my next goal!
Wow! 13 lbs. since February. That is really good, and Sarah, you look fantastic, Momma! I know what you mean about the "gut"--after three C-sections, I've kinda decided that it's quite possibly always going to be there and I should just get used to it. WW looks like a good option for us....we're both looking to shed a few pounds. I'll have to give it a try!
