Week 4 THM

   So I was pretty busy last week and forgot to update how I have been doing on plan :) I did post a few of my favorite recipes though. One thing I have noticed the last few weeks is that the scale has not been moving much, but I can tell a difference in how my clothes are feeling and my before and after pic. Before...

So, the first 2 weeks I went down 5 pounds!!! Yay, the last 2 weeks I went down a total of 3 pounds. That's not bad truthfully. I am thankful that I am losing weight and the book actually only recommends losing 1-2 pounds a week. It is easy to think of shows like The Biggest Loser and think I should be down 8 pounds or more, I don't really expect that LOL. 

5 months pregnant

    Anyway, this last week was just a pound I dropped so I looked back to a pic I took right before I started. Please excuse that I have no makeup on and I had just finished mowing the yard, but I wanted to take a pic of my start so here ya go... The one thing that gets me about this one is that I think I was thinner when I was 5 months pregnant with Nicholas (who is my #5).   

So, since the scale only budged a bit I thought I'd take another pic to see if anything had happened. 

1 month on plan

1 month on plan

I have noticed that my pants are very lose on me and I can button my old size 8 pants (goal is a 6). Getting into those pants was definitely an accomplishement because truthfully I would rather fit into my smaller clothes than have the scale say I'm down and not fit into them ;) Anyway, here I am 1 month after being on plan for 1 month. I have only had about 2 crossovers a week and my appitite has actually decreased, but I think that is more from Nicholas being weaned :(... So, Here is a side-by-side view for full effect. 

 So, I just wanted to encourage any other mama's out there who are trying THM that even thought it's only been a month for me and the scale has only gone down 8lbs, it is working. Each time I get on the scale I think how can this be going down since I am eating so much yummy food like this... 

 But it is working and I am so thankful :) Here is the link to these yummy S waffles that I found on here They were totally yummy!!! Also, since they were an S I got to add some scrambled eggs with cheese, and top them with a dollop of Greek yogurt that I sweetened with my Stevia and vanilla flavoring and some fresh strawberries.
Hope you have a blessed week,
Amy
