Well Good Morning and HAPPY SKINNY DAY!

South Beach Phase 1 is officially over and.....

I AM AT 128!!! That is ONE pound from my pre-pregnancy weight. HELL YES people. I am really doing this! Now, when I got pregnant, my body was much different and I was still about 5-7lbs heavier then I really wanted to be, so my goal is to keep going as long as the body will allow. I know I probably won't/can't weigh 118 again, but I would be happy between 120 and 125. I do want to tone the flabby mommy tummy, if that is even possible. This extra skin is not fat and just is not going away. Ain't pretty.

But anyway....

I feel GREAT. If you look at yesterday's post, I can now fit in some of my pre-pregnancy jeans comfortably, with a little ROOM! My size 8 jeans that I purchased after I lost the bulk of my baby weight are now too big and fall off my butt. I am going to try and not buy anymore "in between" jeans and just pray I can get my old favorites to fit me. They WILL go on, but they do not fit. Comprende? So I am officially calling myself a size 6. I am close to a 4 and I'm hoping that the new shape of my body can still get down size 4 clothes. We'll see. :) I am pumped to keep going and I am even tempted to keep going on Phase 1 since it was so easy for me. But I am going to go into Phase 2 today and see if the pounds will still come off. We'll see how this week goes and if I'm still dropping weight--even if it's only a little--I'll stick to Phase 2. If not, I'm going back on Phase 1. Well...maybe after my birthday so I can eat some cake. :)

It feels so good to finally have some successful weight-loss! I am motivated. Swim suit season is just around the corner and I'm not going to be fat this year!
