I think I'll join you! My son turns 2 at the end of October, and I'd really like to be at least 127 by the time of his birthday. 127 was what I weighed when I found out I was pregnant with him. I gained 52 pounds during my pregnancy. I reached my new low of 128 last week, so I think I can do it.
I realize this goal is small, but I was stuck in the plateau of 129-131 for about 3 months, so hitting 128 last week made me realize that I CAN break this plateau after all.
If I do hit 127 before his birthday, then I think I'll aim to be at about 123-125 by his birthday, but I'll start with 127 first.
(8/31) I started today, since it's Monday. Not a bad day. My husband is home from work this week, so I'm going to treat the time he's off as moderate S days. My one indulgence for today was lightly buttered and salted air popped popcorn after dinner. Exercise: Element Ballet Conditioning. 1 hour stroller walk.
(9/1) A challenging eating day, but I didn't do horribly. My husband, son, and I went to the beach! We had KFC for lunch and dinner, but neither of my meals were overly excessive. I felt full, but not stuffed. I did have some fudge after dinner.

Exercise: Self: Bikini Ready Fast, lots of walking on the beach.
(9/2) Still doing moderate S days while my husband is off from work. I had some fudge and a mocha today, but I plated the fudge with lunch and the mocha with dinner, so I don't think my eating was too bad. I'm really struggling with the urge to step on the scale, but I think it's smart to wait until next week, when my eating gets back to normal. Exercise: 25 minutes on recumbent bike, 10 Minute Solutions Pilates bun and thigh and flexibility segments.
(9/3) I had a crazy, mixed up day, so I ate in several segments today, but I think I still did the equivalent of keeping everything to one plate. Exercise: Quick Blast Calorie Blast TBB A,B,C and Quick Blast Fat Burner Upper Body Blast A and B.
(9/4) Definitely a mark it and move on day. Oh well. Exercise: Ultimate Body Quick and Incredible Abs, 2 segments for a total of 30 minutes.
(9/5) Much better eating day! Exercise: 25 minute downhill walk to my local downtown area, lots of walking downtown, 25 minute walk uphill back to my house.
(9/6) S day, I will ease back into more Vanilla No S on Tuesday, when my husband goes back to work. I'll also start weighing myself again tomorrow morning. Exercise: Rest (my Sabbath day from exercising)
(9/7) Eating was pretty good! Almost back to normal. Exercise: 3 segments of Yoga for Beginners, Standing Abs from Quick and Incredible Abs, 35 minute stroller walk
(9/8) Another good eating day! Exercise: 4 segs of Pilates Perfect Body
(9/9)I'm checking in early, but so far, my eating has been good. I've lost almost all of the weight I gained while my husband was off. Exercise: 2 miles of Fast Start 4 miles, phase one abs from Lose the Belly Flab, standing stretch from Beginner Stretch
(9/10) Success again! Exercise: UBB C and D, buns phase 1 and abs phase 2 from Lose Belly Flab, flexibility seg. from 10 Min Sol Yoga
(9/11) Failure with a capital F. I'll mark it and move on. Exercise: 3 segments of Blast Belly Fat, 1 seg. of Cardio for Beginners
(9/12) Bad, bad, bad! Exercise: Rest
(9/13) Much better! Exercise: Rest
(9/14) Success! Exercise: Quickblast Total Body Blasts A,B,C
(9/15) Failure.): Mark it and move on. Exercise: UBB A and B, Butt Blast phase 2 from Lose Belly Flab, stretch from 10 Min Sol Yoga
(9/16) Success! Exercise: 10 min of Walk the Walk 1 mile (warm up), TBB A and B, Abs Blast A, stretch from Yoga for Beginners
(9/17) Success! Exercise: Abs Blast B, bun and thigh plus stretch from 10 Min Sol Yoga
(9/18) I'm back to my low weight of 128! 127, here I come!
(9/19) S day
(9/20) S day Both S days were pretty moderate, which is real progress for me! Exercise: 1hr15 min stroller walk
(9/21) I think I would call this day a yellow. I did eat slightly more at dinner than I should have, but it still (barely) fit on my plate. Exercise:None
(9/22) I suppose I should call this day a failure. I did eat more than I should have at Bible study. I kept it to mostly fruit, but I also had 1/2 a muffin and a danish along with coffee with creamer. I'm noticing that I can eat a boatload of food several times a week and maintain at 129 (which is 2 pounds below my top weight in my healthy weight range), so I have to decided if I want to keep trying to lose weight, or just stay where I am. Exercise: TBB A,B,C, LBB A and B, UBB A and B
(9/23) Failure. Exercise: None
(9/24) Better than the past two days. I was also back down to 128 today, in spite of my excessive eating (???). If I start doing better, I wonder if I could get to 127? Exercise: 10 Min Sol. Pilates total body, abs, bun and thigh, stretch
(9/25) Success! Exercise: MBB A,B,C, UBB C and D, Abs Blast B
(9/26) S day and a disaster of one at that. I ate a whole funnel cake at my local fair, and I was literally sick for the rest of the evening.
(9/27) A much better S day!
(9/28) Success so far! 2 meals down, one to go. Exercise: TBB A,B,C
