So, I'm still 10 pounds above my pre-preg weight and refuse to go out and buy lots of pants that will fit me. I don't want new jeans...I want to wear MY jeans! I've been living in yoga pants from Old Navy and my fave pair (black with a white stripe down the side) is literally falling apart. There are little holes in the crotch seam and they are dangerously threadbare from overwashing. This means I am ready to get serious and lose enough weight to get back into my comfy wardrobe of jeans and cargo pants.

Who's with me? Anyone ready to get into regular weekly check-ins again?? I need some encouragement and accountability. Please...I'm begging. Help me get into my old clothes before these yoga pants cause me some serious embarrassment Embarassed

I dont want to be a killjoy but even if you lose those 10 lbs your pants might not fit, your hips have probably changed shape!

I am doing HORRIBLY on losing this baby weight. I suck! So, I will do a check-in with you.

I'm in. I actually have lost 5 lbs of real weight (not from the initial 20 you lose right when you leave the hospital). It's taken 11 months, but I've lost 5 pounds Laughing

Tell me how this works - are we giving out actual weight or the change from week to week? I'm not telling anyone what I weigh until my weight matches my D/L.

Don't worry...you aren't bursting my bubble. I'm quite sure that I will need to lose more than 10 to fit into my jeans and pants again. I can tell that I'm smaller above the waist and bigger below than I used to be. So the good news is that most of my shirts are fitting again.

I don't want to tell anyone my weight either. I was just going to check-in ideally a few times a week with how I've been doing and once a week with my weight loss.
