I hit a big milestone at WW yesterday. I've lost 10% of my starting weight. I've now shed a total of 25.6 lbs, 20.6 with WW! This key ring is my reward and when I get to other milestones I'll receive charms to attach.
This has been such a beneficial program for me and I have appreciated all that have encouraged and helped me through this process. I want to be healthy, active and teach my children the importance of doing so.
I share with all of you my experiences so that it may possibly inspire. I've had ups and downs. Good weeks and bad weeks. I'm finding that I wouldn't be where I'm at as quickly as I've gotten here without the love and support of others and also exercise. That's the big one...EXERCISE! I believe it is the key to the successes I'm achieving. I'm making it a habit that will hopefully stick!
I'm also including my experiences for me personally. This is a big life changing experience I'm going through at this time in my life. It's a major part of my life and something that I struggle to find time doing with young children to take care of and spend quality time with. Oh, and the husband too! I don't have a lot of extra time on my hands at this time in my life and I'm forever grateful to my dear husband for his willingness to change up his schedule and do a little extra in order for me to do something for myself.
The difficulty I'm finding this week is that Tom started coaching high school basketball and hasn't gotten home until 9:30 or later in the evenings. He assures me that practices won't be as late once the volleyball season is finished. It's been a struggle to find the energy to head to the gym that late but once I finish my workout I always feel so much better! I'm actually pretty dang proud of myself for not letting this be a reason for me to take a break. I'm afraid that if I do so then I will start letting other things slide and I don't want that to happen!
Next mini goal - lose 7 more lbs to be at the top of the healthy range for my height. Then my ultimate goal of somewhere in the middle of my healthy range.

I'm so proud of you Brianne!! I think exercise is so key for us to remain healthy and strong. I also don't think weight loss is as beneficial without it.
I've been a total believer in exercise to the point of working out through my whole pregnancy. Since giving birth, I'm having a hard time making the adjustments to keep on track. Last week I did my aerobics three times. This week...I haven't wanted to get out of bed. Last week I felt great, this week I feel lazy. I want my routine back that I had before!
Either way, I am so proud of you! Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see you this next week. I'm sure you are going to look great!
I'm so proud of you, Brianne! You're looking so good! I need you to sprinkle your magic dust on me to get me going! You're an inspiration! I love you!
Wow, you are doing so well. I am so proud of you. Keep up the good work. Next time I see you you'll look like a new woman. How exciting, I can't wait!
way to go brianne. Where are the pictures of you.
Congrats! I do love the gym but man it's a juggling act with 4 kids. Especially the nursing baby. The thing I miss the most....kick boxing. I loved that class, it was a fabulous workout! Do they have one at your gym?
Oh wait- I didn't mean nursing baby (we're almost done with that) I meant napping baby. Nap in the morning and nap in the afternoon make it tricky. Sometimes we skip the nap and then we have a cranky baby. I can't decide which is better.....
Congratulations! I've been slacking on going to the gym lately, I don't even have a good reason...lol. I think I need a motivating work out buddy or something.
Brianne!! You are awesome! ...do they have a program for prego women??
And why the heck did you not come to the RS dinner thing last night? I was looking forward to your help keeping me sane! And hello, there was a hay ride! haha
That is so awesome! You are a great inspiration. Now that the baby is out, I'll have to start working out soon to lose that baby weight!
