07/04/2002 Entry: "Weight"

Oh, and I have to tell you guys: I reached my first goal weight today! I am now officially down 75 pounds from when I had Sam. Now that I've reached it, I don't suppose there's any hard in giving actual numbers (gulp). I'm now 200 pounds. That's a big number, yes it is. Still, I've reached it, and I know that I can keep going. Next goal weight: 175!

Wow, down 75 lbs! That's no small feat! Congratulations!! You should be very proud of yourself. I'm sure that you will get to your next goal weight too. That is just SO incredible.

I'm hoping that after this pregnancy I might be able to drop a few pounds as well. Perhaps being on the diabetic diet will help me get used to eating a bit better and breastfeeding will hopefully help. But wow, I'm totally and completely impressed!

I agree with everyone who says you don't LOOK that heavy in the pictures I've seen!

wow, that's super!
I weighed about 245 when I had my daughter.
I'm making headway and am under 200 mark now... it's not come easily.. ack!
I've focused on not eating due to emotions or boredom or being tired...
anyway, congrats.
And I have to say, I agree with Hilary- you look excellent..

Wow, Carrie! That's amazing! Great job! It must make you feel wonderful, huh? In your pictures, I swear you don't look a pound over MAYBE 145 or so.

Go Carrie! You rock!

175 will be here before you know it. Besides, Sam will start walking soon, and then it's all over for you.

Wow! A big congratulations!! I need to lose more pregnancy weight myself! I'm sure breastfeeding is helping you right along (a lot of women don't know that breastfeeding rids of tons of calories); great job!

Tremendous! Congrats.

Thanks! No "diet," so to speak; I'm just eating less and being more active (as if I have a choice!). I know I'll have to focus even more on activity as time goes on; Sam should be more willing to stay with Eric for longer periods then so I can go to the gym!

YAY!! Congratulations! *doing the dance of joy*

Congratulations! I weighed 235 with my son, who is now 18 mo old. I weigh 195~~~ was hoping it would be less by now. Please share what you're doing to take off the pounds. Is it a "brand name" diet or one of your own making?

Congrats!! And GREAT job! :)

Congrats, Carrie!!! Keep up the good work! I don't know what you're doing, but you go girl! I recently met my goal weight too--email me if you'd like to compare notes/recipes/snack ideas! :) Woo-hoo for you!
