Goodbye Fat Pants!

Pin It Today is the start of the Healthiest Loser Cinch Challenge and I'm PUMPED!  I've been trying unsuccessfully to lose my pregnancy weight for exactly 11 months.  I gained an astounding 52 pounds when I was pregnant and I was already about 14 pounds heavier than I had been less than a year earlier.

Think I'm exaggerating?  Take a look at these photos:

Both of these photos were taken in August 2009.  I weighed 138 pounds and was wearing a size 6.

This photo was taken in December 2010.  Maia was about 3 weeks old.  I weighed 204 pounds when Maia was born.  I'm not sure how much I weighed here, but I'm guessing I was around 185 pounds.  You can totally see it in my face and in my belly!!  I still look really pregnant!  (My dad had this picture as his desktop background!  I saw it when we were visiting in July and I just about DIED!  Needless to say, I changed the picture FAST!)

This picture was taken in mid-April.  I'm wearing my maternity pants.  Yup, that's right.  Maia was 4 1/2 months old and I was still wearing maternity sizes.  I was mortified to be seen around in stretchy jeans 4 months after Maia was born, so I went out and bought a normal pair of jeans that fit.  Unfortunately, they were the epitome of "fat pants" and I didn't feel much better wearing them!

I have ZERO pictures of me wearing those jeans.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that I didn't exactly like the way I looked!  I've taken as few pictures as possible this past year.  It's really a shame, but can you blame me?

Now I fit back into my own "fat pants" - a size 12.  I feel a lot better but I still don't have much else that fits.  When I lost the weight in 2009 I donated almost all of my "fat" clothes.  Now I'm left with a few things here and there that fit, but that doesn't mean I like the way I look wearing them.  I can still picture how they looked before I got pregnant and that's how I want them to fit again.

So today is the beginning of the end for my "fat pants," once and for all.

I have everything I need for the next month and I'm so excited!!  I love the products, so this doesn't feel like a diet.  Normally, once I decide to commit to a diet, I'm filled with dread leading up to the start date.

This time, I'm ready.

Not only do I have delicious weight loss products, but I also have an incredible support group.  I'll be blogging about my journey to lose 15 pounds during a holiday season that generally adds weight.  

Here are my stats as of today:

Weight: 165.0
Muscle: 94.8
Body Fat: 39.5%
