Weight Loss-T!

First and foremost: I am not an expert at taking before and after pictures. As I'm not completely in the same postition for the before's and after's...

During my pregnancy I gained 27 pounds.

After I arrived home from the hospital from giving birth to Gavin, I had only lost 3 lbs.

What? Somehow it didn't make sense since a 7 lb baby was out of me along with all of his fluid.

Anyway by the time we had reached 6 weeks after Gavin's birthday, I was only 3 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight, and I hadn't done any exercising.

This is what I did to lose the weight I did:

Zumba Fitness 2x per week 1 hr. each

Didn't eat past 7 pm

Didn't snack

Cut portion sizes

Refrained from adding extra/no salt/butter to my foods

Refused sweets that I didn't "need" there are, in fact, times that I do indeed need my sweets.

That's it!

 I didn't want to change a lot about my lifestyle, because quite frankly I have tried it before, then I give up eating healthy along with exercising regularly. And I, no I'm not an expert, don't feel like my diet is too awful.

Plus! Zumba is super fun, and makes exercising exciting.

I am now 8 lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight.

I lost it in 4 months. Slow, but successful.

I'm still not quite to where I want to be exactly, so I'm going to step up my exercising a little bit.

Before's and After's:

Off topic - Notice my hair roots in my before pictures and then the after pictures. Nope! I haven't gotten my hair done for almost 5 months now! Yikes! Also, in my after pictures, I had just gotten back from Zumba thus my greasy hair and red face. I know you'll love the pink socks.

Hehe
