Here are my before and after pics from when I got serious about my eating and my Pilates. The first pic was taken when Riley was around 8 mos old (8/05?, 165-170 lbs) and up through about two weeks ago (5/16/06, about 138 lbs).



Here's me today wearing the interview outfit (minus the black wedge sandals) I was supposed to wear yesterday to my interview. I figured I might as well wear it while I can b/c at the very least it'll be a year before I'll be able to fit into it again.


It makes me sorta sad to see the pics I took today b/c I don't know if I'll get back down to this weight after having another baby... I weighed in this morning at 131 lbs which is less than I weighed when I first got pregnant with Annah! Jeez. Here we go again...

Anyway, TFL.

Amber,
WOW those are great pics!!! I can see a huge change! I'm glad you have been documenting your journey.

And huge *hugs* too. don't be down about the weight thing. Just eat as well as possible (NOT for 2) and stay active. I gained 62+ lbs with Gabe and just 35 with Ali, mostly just from chasing the Gabester around while PG. I got back to Pre-pg weight pretty fast thanks to Pilates. (about 9 mo?)

You WILL get back to 131.... just have that attitude. But also, dont stress about it now. Its all about making your baby. Hey girl, I'm still totally shocked that you are PG! Can I have a lil sip of that water??

What a difference, girl!! You've done an awesome job & I know that you'll have a super healthy pg! Take care of yourself & try to make healthy choices. This coming from the woman that gained 50+ lbs w/ each pg!!

Love the outfit- you look adorable!

Hugs,
Jess

How tall are you? Your start weight was about exactly what mine was after DD and now I'm just above 130! LOL! But you can have a third pregnancy all to yourself . . . I have no interest in copying you there.

Those are great pics. Major difference. And ditto on what everyone said about pregnancy. You're already healthier than you were to start your other pregnancies. You'll be back here in no time. Until then, just take care of yourself and that little bean and forget about the numbers on the scale. Easy for me to say, I know . . .

Wow...you have done fantastic work. TFS the pics. Very inspiring!!!

You look great! I love how you documented all of your progress. Now you'll have to continue doing so, only this time it'll be belly shots! Congrats on the pregnancy, too!
