Pre-baby Body?

Hey everyone! My friend Shayna, who like I have said in the past, always inspires me...has had a weight loss program going. I decided that I would tag along this time, and see if I can't loose these last few stubborn baby pounds! Getting fit is always easier when you have people to "check up" on you, so I figure, what better way to get it done, than to plaster it on my blog so the whole blogging world can know that I have some baby love handles that seem to have taken up permanent residence on various parts of my body!!!
Don't get me wrong, he is totally worth the extra pounds, but it is bathing suit season, and unless you are Heidi Klum, things shift around after child birth! Things just don't "hang" the way they used to and clothes fit different.
I do feel like I have done pretty well loosing the majority of my "Aiden rolls" as I like to refer to them...call it movement or whatever you want, but things are different, and those last few pounds are super stubborn!
So, Shayna, if you don't mind, I would like to hop on board, and say that I will loose 6 lbs by August 9th (notice that I am not as ambitious as you are, I don't want to miss by goal by a mile! If I reached for the moon, I don't think even the stars would be close enough!!!)
And as always....thanks for the inspiration Shayna!!!

I know exactly how you feel. Those extra rolls only get more stubborn with each kid. We are going to Florida in less then 2 weeks and I have about 5 more pounds to lose, but I'm determind. Well, may the fat burning force be with you.

I would love to join you, but unfortunatley I am heading in the other direction. I will be gaining weight. I still never lost all my weight either. You look wonderful Melissa! The good news for me is the baby will be here in Feb. so I will have a few months to get into shape before next summer! I guess this will be the smallest I am for this summer!ha,ha.

LETS DO IT... how do you motive and keep track of each other?? I am so serious about this and I am so grateful that I have someone to help and motive me! We should see how many we can get on this goal of ours... maybe the news will hit Opera and we will get a free trip to Chicago from it. Hey you never know! hehe
