Milestone

The day Isaac was born (almost 12 years ago) I weighed 176lbs. This morning I weighed in at 175.8lbs! I haven't been so light in sooooo long!

I have a weird thing happen after I have kids. Rather than lose weight (and I nursed all of them), I gain it. I mean sure, the day my kids are born I lose about 10lbs. But by the time they're like 4 mths old I've gained more than I gained through my whole pregnancy! I've struggled so long with the roller coaster that is my weight.

Isaac
Pre-pregnancy weight - 137lbs
9 mths - 175lbs
Brianna
Pre-pregnancy - 187
9 mths - 200lbs
(Here there was a 7 yr stretch where I had lots of weight ups and downs)
Olivia
Pre-pregnancy - 202lbs
9 mths - 209lbs (Funnily enough, I had weight loss issues during this pregnancy)

This time around I'm actually seeing my weigh going down, and not just by a couple pounds. This time I'm down over 30lbs. Not UP 30lbs, but DOWN. I've never had that happen before.

I also discovered today, that in 1.8lbs I will officially be out of the obese category! Never in my adult life have I been simply over weight. I've always been obese. Never has "overweight" sounded so good!
