The Goal and Overall Plan:
Reach my goal weight (135 pounds) before my 35th birthday on April 9th.

I lost 3.5 pounds this week. Making it 11 pounds in 9 weeks. 28 pounds since I started my weight loss challenge in 2009 and 53 pounds since the day I went to the hospital to give birth to my daughter.

I have been working on my diet by making sure I get plenty of fruits and vegetables and drinking a ton of water.

This week I focused mostly on portion control and religiously used my new EatSmart Precision Pro Scale. Obviously it must have had an impact because I lost a huge amount of weight and didn’t even feel hungry!

Discloser: EatSmart was kind enough to provide me with a Precision Pro Scale for testing purposes.

The Goal and Overall Plan:
Reach my goal weight (135 pounds) before my 35th birthday on April 9th.

I lost 1.5 pounds this week. Making it 7.5 pounds in 8 weeks. 24.5 pounds since I started my weight loss challenge in 2009 and 49.5 pounds since the day I went to the hospital to give birth to my daughter.

I have been working on my diet by making sure I get plenty of fruits and vegetables and drinking a ton of water.

Since I am making all of Ivey’s food I often supplement my diet with homemade baby food. This might sound weird at first but it is a quick way to ensure I get plenty of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. Plus once you start using your imagination the possibilities are endless. Here are some examples of how I have incorporated homemade baby food into my diet:

• Add apple sauce to plain yogurt.
• Use pureed peas as a dip for celery and carrot sticks.
• Use any vegetable puree as a replacement for mayonnaise on a sandwich.
• Place a piece of chicken on a bed of warm sweet potato puree.
• Add apple sauce to pork and brown rice.
• Blend up a frozen banana for a yummy dessert.

The Goal and Overall Plan:
Lose 20 pounds before my 35th birthday (April 9th).

I lost zero pounds this week. Making it 6 pounds in 7 weeks. 23 pounds since I started my weight loss challenge in 2009 and 48 pounds since the day I went to the hospital to give birth to my daughter.

I admit to having a hard day and inhaling an In and Out Burger on Thursday. It was my way of  coping with emotional trauma caused by a trip to the DMV. I did however spend the week eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, drinking a ton of water and even managed to exercise.

So why the plateau? I blame Aunt Flow. Not only does this explain the melt down at the DMV but I must be carrying some water weight – right?

The Goal and Overall Plan: Lose 20 pounds before my 35th birthday (April 9th).

I lost another half of a pound this week. Making it 6 pounds in 6 weeks. 23 pounds since I started my weight loss challenge in 2009 and 48 pounds since the day I went to the hospital to give birth to my daughter.

Although I am happy with my continued weigh loss, certain parts of my body seem to be flabby and located farther south than my pre-pregnancy days. Hopefully a good solid workout everyday will change that. Last week, I was luck enough to receive a copy of Your Shape Featuring Jenny McCarthy and as a result I am recommitting myself to working out on my Wii.

Do you workout on your Wii?
What games do you enjoy and how do you keep it interesting?

The Goal and Overall Plan: Lose 20 pounds before my 35th birthday (April 9th).

I lost another pound an a half this week. Making it 5.5 pounds in 5 weeks. 22.5 pounds since I started my weight loss challenge in 2009 and 47.5 pounds since the day I went to the hospital to give birth to my daughter.

I am thrilled to be under 150 pounds again! If I can only get over this cold and start working out again, I might just be able to reach my goal weight before my birthday.
