I don’t know what week it is, 6 again or 7
According to Mama Notes the hostess of the Body After Baby challenge it’s week 6 and no that doesn’t mean that I get a bonus week because for some reason I can’t count weeks correctly.
I have done well this week, not good enough to loose all the weight I packed on with my candy binge but I am down a little bit(177) but not where I want to be 175. I have been really thinking hard about what I eat in my diet lately and I think I need a change. I need to go lower carb/no sugar for a while. I will also be tracking my food and counting calories but I’m going to be doing a modified phase 1 of South Beach for the rest of November and then start it for real December 1st and see if I can take off 5-6 lbs before Xanders first birthday.
If I can lose 10lbs between now and Xander’s birthday I will be within 10lbs of my pre baby weight! Wow that is exciting, so I didn’t make it in the first year but I should be back to pre baby weight by February. That is my goal. Note to self: Next time don’t gain 60lbs during pregnancy, you can feed your baby perfectly well with only 30lbs.
For this challenge I have a total of 183 points so far. And this week we are bringing back water and exercise so I am going to do some serious point getting soon!
I posted my before pictures for you all to see not to long ago so if you want to see me look all puffy and yucky, click here.

We just ended week 6 (the challenge started on a weekend, but samantha does her updates on tuesdays for some reason) and are in the midst of week 7.
two weeks left!
my baby’s going to be a year on feb. 7 and i’m hoping to be to pre-baby by march. I have about 13 pounds to go, but am stuck. am also still nursing so i think i hold on to some weight while nursing.
i gained 60 with my first and 50 with my second so you’re not alone! it’s so easy to put on and so tough to take off!
hope you have a great week 7!

I have a feeling it’s going to be my daughter’s 2nd birthday before I see my pre-pregnancy weight.
You’re doing good, and you’re much more braver than me posting your before pics.
