Bragging on myself

Weight loss has never been something I was good at.  I wasn't big at my wedding.  I actually started loosing weight in University so that I would be skinny for my wedding.  Then I got sick at 6 months of marriage and I completely ballooned.  I mean I gained 70 lbs.  I was never able to get more than 40 of it off.  I was always just bigger.  I wanted to loose weight before getting pregnant and I was able to get down to about 158.  Then I got pregnant and lost 3 babies in a row.  Through the depression with each one of those losses, weight piled on again.  When I got pregnant with Marsi, I was 173 lbs.  The lowest I got during pregnancy was 163 lbs.  Well, I wanted to show you 3 pictures.

In the first one I was 5 weeks pregnant...which in all honesty means I looked like that before I got pregnant.

In this second one I was 40 weeks pregnant and just about to pop.

The third picture is from today weighing less than 150 lbs...with clothes on.

So, I am SO excited about all of this!  I am 10 lbs away from my wedding weight.  I feel absolutely healthy and happy.  I am so glad that at least for me, breast feeding is also a weight loss program.  LOVE it!
