Lexi of Curls, Coils, & Kinks is having a 6 month weight loss challenge. Since I am determined to loss a few extra pounds and tone up, I decided it was a good idea to join in on the challenge. I figured it would provide extra motivation for me to get up off the couch and exercise.
My Weight Background
Growing up, I was always the extra skinny girl...which I hated and I desperately wanted to gain weight. Once I felt I arrived to my goal weight, I found out I was pregnant with my 1st son and packed on an extra 40lbs in 2008. It took me almost a year to lose less than half those extra pounds only to find out I was pregnant with my second child and packed on another 20lbs. After giving birth to my second son I was left weighing 173lbs (this may not seem like a lot, but I'm only 5'3).
Over the past eight months I have managed to lose 23lbs leaving me at 150.1lbs. To reach my ideal weight of 130lbs I need to lose another 20lbs. I hope to reach my goal weight my April. Then use May and June to finish toning up.
My stats
Height: 5'3
Current weight: 150.1 lbs
Waist: 30 1/3
Hips: 42 1/16
BMI: 26.6
Goal Weight: 130 lbs
