Weight loss

I decided it was time for a weight loss post.  I haven't really written about this for a couple of reasons, mainly that I'm a bit embarrassed that I had this much weight to lose.  But I've been working pretty hard at it since late June (well, off and on) and this morning I weighed myself and I have officially lost 25 lbs.  Of course, some of that is baby weight - mainly from Ada since I lost all of my Eleanor weight thanks to breastfeeding - but I now weigh 13 lbs less than I did before I ever got pregnant in the first place.

I am still definitely not at my goal weight, but for once I actually feel like it's possible.  This is all thanks to Weight Watchers, by the way.  I realize I'm about to sound like a commercial for them, but I highly recommend them.  I don't go to their meetings or anything, but I track everything I eat online.  From about late October until early December I got lazy and took a break, and that was the only time since late June that I didn't really lose weight.  WW encourages you to eat lots of fruits and vegetables, lean meat, and whole grains...basically everything we should be eating in the first place.  It's actually a lot of food, and you get some extra weekly points that you can use whenever you want so you can "splurge" a couple of times a week.  Also, you can earn points by exercising.  Okay, end of commercial!  :)
