Hi! My name is Stephanie and I'm an...


You can fill in the blank.

I am really excited to start this challenge!  I think the hardest part was sending my weight to someone I don't even know!  Why is that so hard?  It is just a number, it shouldn't define me.  But man, I hate that number!

I recently had a baby, just over 2 months ago.
This is little Quinn, isn't he a cutie?

Now along with this cute little baby I have 40 pounds to lose to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight.  (Then I have another 40 to tackle...but we'll cross that bridge when we get there)!  I was able to lose the weight from my previous 2 pregnancies, but I never started really trying this early, so I'm a little nervous that with breastfeeding, crazy hormones and everything else I'm not going to be able to lose anything...but I'm so ready to try!  I'm ready to feel good again, to feel like me!

I'm really excited to get back into exercising.  I pretty much stopped as soon as the first wave of morning sickness hit, so its been awhile...this will be great motivation to get back into the habit.  I recently signed up for a Zumba gym by my house with a friend, I love to shake my groove thing!

So here's to no more maternity pants at the end of this challenge!!!
And here's to this little guy growing and me shrinking in the next 10 weeks!!!
Good luck to everyone!

  2. Your family is beautiful!

    Don't stress to much about your stats. Right now they're just a jumping point to a healthier you! Plus, they're safe with me. I know how you feel though, I was very anxious about reporting to Heather last round because things like weight and inches have always been a very personal and maybe even "secret" part of me!

  6. When I Zumba I pretend that I am the HOT MAMA teaching the class and that I can shake my booty like nobody's business... Then I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. ;) Zumba is AWESOME! I'm glad to know we are in this group together and can cheer each-other on! :)
