Just to give you a little history report of my weight loss post baby struggle. When I got pregnant with Cloe, I weighed 160 but 160 looks good on me. I'm thin and have muscle. After Cloe I got down to 170. Looking back, I would love to be 170 again but at the time of course thought I was fat. After Brody, thanks to weight watchers, I got down to 170 again. Abbey was an unexpected pregnancy so I was a little bummed because I knew I could lose the last 10. With that pregnancy, i got up to 215 and the lowest I ever got after she was born was 175. From there I pretty much went up about this time last year. Pathetic. So last year at this time, just before Abbey turned 3, I weighed 190!!! gross. Holidays are so bad for me! I knew I wanted to get pregnant and wanted to start at a lower weight, so I was able to lose 8lbs and got down to 182. Thanks to Lindsey . I stayed active through this last pregnancy, jogged as long as I could and then walked 3 times a week at the end. Junk food just never really appealed to me but I still gained 40 lbs. I topped out my 4th pregnancy at 224. Currently, I'm 196 but that isn't definite because I haven't weighed myself since 2 days before Christmas, I'm too scared. SO I will post official stats on Monday.
My goal: I actually don't have a weight I have to get down to. I do want to be at least a size 10. That may be big for some of you but my body type is thin at that size. I just might have to dig up some photos to convince you of these facts ;)
But I do have a goal of doing the AF triathlon on May 16th.
Right now I've been running but haven't been able to run a whole 3 miles yet. I need to walk at least once for about 100 yards. After I can run a 5k, then I will work on the swimming. Just trying to do what the weather will allow. Oh, and I don't have a bike yet. I don't go to the gym because my gym requires babies to be 6 months before they will let them in the daycare. So no gym until May (after the tri).
I am really excited about the triathlon and more excited for some results.
Please keep on top of me if you don't think I"m posting enough. When I have someone to be accountable to, I do much much better. And if I post before and after pictures, this blog will become private :)

i would die to be a size 10 too!
i don't know how i missed the link on your blog to this one. but great job. let's keep each other accountable for sure! it's helped me to weigh in weekly and post at least once a week to report. just in case that helps at all!
Hey if you do the training and I get my butt out and do some too maybe you can come over and do the Family run that parallels with the marathon here. Antonia wants us to do it, so I'm seriously thinking about it! I think it is a 6 or 10k run/walk? Not sure.
