Weight loss update!!

We started our healthy eating, exercising lifestyle on April 9th, it has now been an official month since we started and I am starting to see a difference. I of coarse am still going strong and want to see more and more results but I am actually happy for the progress Ive had so far. I think I am going to start to tighten up my regiment as well as my exercises because I have hit a plateau and cant seem to lose anymore, however since April 9th to this mornings weigh in May 10th, I have LOST A WHOPPING 17 POUNDS!!(picture to the right is what only 5 pounds of fat looks like, OMG) I am ecstatic about this loss and hope that I can continue to keep it up so I can reach my ultimate goal of 180 by New Year's Eve. I ma going to post some progress pics and I'm somewhat ashamed to post the before picture but in order to get the full effect of what 17 pounds can do I have to post them all. I'm thinking the plateau also has a little to do with me returning to work today because I was nervous and stressing a little and I know that can play a factor in weight loss. Ive also learned once you have a baby your belly sticks out like you're pregnant when you get chunky, it cracks me up taking pictures of a belly getting smaller unlike pregnancy where the belly gets bigger lol I am still eating 5x a day and drinking lots and lots of water and unsweetened tea, I also tried a detox body cleanser hoping to rid my body of all its waste, I haven't seen much return with it, but its something I do every weekend so I'm hoping this weekend is better! I AM EXTREMELY PROUD OF MYSELF as well as my hunny, she hasn't seen the results that I have yet she still pushes thru it continues to eat healthy and exercise with me. I love that shes supportive and I know she can continue to push as well!!!
