Getting Past This Weight Plateau...

I have been trying to get this "baby weight" off for almost 15 months now. My friends get a kick out of this story, but I tried really hard not to gain as much weight during my third pregnancy and I did really well considering my first two pregnancies I gained nearly 40 to 50 pounds each time (and I got it off pretty quickly). So, during my third pregnancy I only gained about 30 pounds. I for the life of me cannot figure out why I pushed out a 6 pound 1 oz baby and came home weighing 3 pounds more than I did before I had her. It baffles me to this day!!! Well, fortunately I'm down about 15 pounds since November 3, 2009, but I still have 10 to 12 more to go to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight then an additional 15 on top of that. I began doing my diet before Christmas very strictly and in the past 6 weeks I've lost only 3.2 pounds. I'm doing great maintaining, but my goal is to lose, not maintain. I even did 2 to 3 months of P90X and I gained instead of losing. So today I have started back even stricter than before doing my weight watchers (it's the easiest diet in the world). To make me more accountable I thought I would blog about it here so that my one reader (Hi, HOLLIE!) can read this and I can at least feel that I have to do good so that each week I can post a blog that shows progress!! I will not show my actual weight, but I will post the pounds I lose each week!
WISH ME LUCK!!
