Buh byeeee, baby weight!!

This week was a big one for me.


I'm officially at 42 lbs lost .. And am now smaller than I was before I had my first baby!!


I haven't been this weight in over four years! I can't describe how happy I am, and how good I feel! I have so much more energy! And I don't struggle to breathe anymore when I walk!


Crappy picture (this was taken after a run!) but .. strike a pose! 42 lbs down! 
I'm brought to tears when I think about how far I've come on my healthy lifestyle quest. When I first joined WW in February, I didn't dream of coming this far! Now I'm at my before-baby weight, wearing clothes I never thought I could cram myself into again, and doing yoga and RUNNING!


Hard work pays off. So do dedication and determination.


Thank you to all of those amazing people who have supported me and encouraged me on my journey .. You know who you are. I love you more than I can put into words and am so grateful to have your help and support!


Here's to another 42!!!

  3. Congratulations! I saw your comment on another blog and had to come check out your blog because of your name, Mama Lego! We have five boys (two girls) and a houseful of Legos so I wondered if you had boys who loved Legos.

    Anyway, you are doing a great job and I know you must feel terrific. Losing my 150 pounds was the best thing I ever did!
