Biggest Loser Challenge









I'm linking up with The Java Mama for the Biggest Loser Challenge!



I need to lose about 40 lbs.



I'm about 5'5 tall. I'm kind of big boned so I'm guessing my ideal weight would be between 130-140.

I've struggled with my weight since I was about 12. My problem: I love to eat and cannot get motivated.. and stay motivated... to exercise. My weight has really crept up the past few months. We're kind of trying/not preventing for baby #3 and I know I HAVE to lose quite a bit of weight before getting pregnant again.



Current weight: Between 175-179lbs

Weight before Kid 1: 145ish

Weight before Kid 2: 155ish

Weight after I stopped breastfeeding Kid 2: 165 and it's crept up from there over the last year & a half.

Goal Weight: 140



I've already started drinking lots of water every day. I'm going to step that up. I'm also really going to watch what I eat and write down every last thing that I eat or drink. I'm thinking I'll start walking several times a week for exercise.



Wish me luck and feel free to link up over at The Java Mama!

  3. One of the things that boosted my weight loss was if I put it in my mouth, I documented the calories. Good luck doll!

  6. I'm popping in from the link up. I quit smoking 3 years ago, and it seems like that's when my weight really started creeping upward. We're both going to stop that creeping though, aren't we?

    Wish you the best on this journey!
