I had mt DD take a picture of me today wearing not so baggy clothing and I just can't get over the difference.

congratulations.....now where are the pics????

Oh and I have lost 3 of the 7 I gained... :D I'm back down to 144 now to keep on losing :)

Trade in your larger clothes so you can't go back to the "fat" size :D

Hi everyone,
I had a very interesting conversation with my MIL yesterday. She said she felt I was being tested. She said she knew in her heart if I could just lose the weight, that I would get pregnant. She also said that I need to learn to get stubborn. She said when I'm a mother I'll understand that mothers need to be the most stubborn people on the planet. I really took what she said to heart. I weighed myself this morning and I did gain from the last time I weighed myself but only 7 lbs. I was sure I had gained 20+ lbs. So I'm back. I'm writing my food down, I'm exercising, I'm going to get stubborn. Thank you all for being here for me. *hugs*

Christina your MIL is right! Mothers do have to be stubborn. I know you can lose the weight sweety. I'm so stubborn that when I am told that I can't do something I just have to prove them wrong. You just need to set your mind right. Keep telling yourself you can do it. Now repeat after me I can do it, I can do it. Start each day new and be confident in yourself. You are worth it and you will have the best prize of all a baby to cuddle.

What about a clothing exchange with others that have lost weight? Maybe each person could list what they have and you could pm that person and pay the postage for it to be shipped to you or maybe charge a small fee for the item.... Maybe others would have thoughts on how to do this to make it fair to each person.

Christina, not only can mothers be stubborn but we will do ANYTHING for our children. Remember you are losing weight so your child can be born. You are in my prayers.
