Weight has been lost but more needs to go away...

So I think we've already discussed that I have lost all of the weight I gained while pregnant...but since that date the scale hasn't budged :(. It's time to get serious people. I really have 40 good lbs I could lose...but I'd like to start just 10 at a time. So I'm gonna start running during my lunch hour. I'm gonna try the Couch to 5K program to be exact. I think I can do this and we all know that running burns a lot of calories. My goal is to run three days a week to start M-W-F and then try to do 20 minutes of pilates on Tuesday and Thursday. I actually go back to teaching aerobics in two weeks so that will help as well (I'm hoping anyway). I just have to keep the eye on the prize and ignore the temptations I have a work...(um hello who's ideas was it to put the snack box right next to my desk?) So goodbye weight...hello water...smaller portions...and RUNNING (I'm real excited about the running...NOT). Wish me luck and help me stay motivated would ya?

What keeps you motivated?

Good luck! C25K was just so life-changing for me. In terms of keeping up with working out, the key for me was finding something I love (which happens to be running.) But it did take me 32 years to find something I loved. :)

My motivation: Needing to buy a larger size of clothes. I'm too cheap (and can't really afford to right now). So I've got to lose enought to fit comfortably in these, and maybe get back into a few things that are stuffed in the back of my closet.

And congrats on losing all the baby weight! It took me 9 months to lose all mine from Jacob.
