The New Hollywood Bec!

Well, well, well maybe not exactly what I have in mind when I think of the sexy new Bec, but it's something like this....maybe not as thin, and maybe more bust!

Anyway, it's good to try to get a picture in my mind of what I may look like slimmer....but this is maybe too slim.

Still it was fun to muck around with. But I must reiterate....this is not me! It's a photoshopesque image...

Mooloolaba Trip

Well, the three of us went to Mooloolaba for three nights. It was so fantastic. It was Michael's first holiday with his father and I and he was so good! He loved the pool and just floated around so contented. Babies just know how to be happy don't they? They show every single emotiona as they feel it!. Michael loved the beach (we were afraid he would hate the sand). And I'm proud because I stayed within my points for the four days that I was there, and exercised for at least an hour a day. My husband is also trying to lose weight, so we encourage each other. It was a wonderful holiday becasue my husband was able to really bond with Michael and have some quality time. Here's a pic of myself and Michael. It's kind of flattering since it's underwater!!






It was a magical holiday in many ways. Hubby and I got to spend much needed time together. Moloolaba has always been our place. We always go back to the same apartments. We have had many happy times there. The last time we were there I was pregnant with Michael. I never could have dreamed he'd bring such joy into our lives. I never thought I'd ever feel so much love as I did the day he was born. No one prepares you for that...It was like my heart opened up even more. Sometimes I feel like my heart is overflowing with love. I'm so proud of him all the time and it's so wonderful seeing all the little ways he's changing. At the moment squealing is his favourite thing. And sucking on his toes. I know we're biased but we think he's so clever. In the photo below he is taking his dummy out of his mouth and putting back in. I'm convinced from his cheeky smile that he knows he's clever...















The second night there we had this great full moon. Not the best picture but you get the idea...

PHOTO HISTORY OF WEIGHT LOSS AND GAINS

JULY 2005.
THE BEGINNING OF MY JOURNEY.
107.3 kGS

Whoa big mamma!!!!!

That's a bad photo all over. Bad hair, bad clothes, bad weight! Look at me! I look twenty years older than 29! I was 107.3 kgs. Never again.









MARCH 2006 - 89 KGS

Ah the wedding. June 16th, 2007. I was very happy on this day and glowing.
Weight: 91 kgs.

My weight went very much up and down from the time we got engaged.














AND THEN CAME THE HONEYMOON!!! Imagine going on a P & O cruise. There was enough food to sink a battleship (pardon the pun). Anyway, I succumbed to the temptation and my waistline grew and grew. Over two weeks I put on 6 kgs. How? Carbo-overloading and little exercise. Sex doesn't count.
Here are some honeymoon photos - yikes.



96 KGS APPROX











WELL GUYS, THE NEXT PHOTOS YOU SEE OF ME WILL BE OF ME LOOKING SLIMMER, UNLESS I GET CAUGHT OUT SOMEWHERE IN THE MEANTIME.

Well I didn't get snapped looking slimmer. About four months down the track, here I am at a wedding in November, heading towards 100kg again. And it didn't stop there....

















The ever-expanding waistline. Christmas 2007. I was pregnant but didn't know it ... only three weeks though, so can't use that as an excuse for my girth.













I did a really great job of avoiding cameras while I was pregnant, but here is me with our gorgeous baby boy, Michael. Sans make-up, sans hair-brush, sans sleep!!



















....and a few weeks later
at our local rsl. Oh my god. Biggest I have ever been. In October, I joined weight watchers again, tipping the scales at 128.3. I had fooled myself into thinking I weighed 120kg.



















then there is a shot of Michael and me....at about 9kgs slimmer... at 119.3












So as you can see there have been a lot of ups and downs and while my weight went up and down, life kept on going and a lot of wonderful stuff happened. My goal is to get back to looking how I did at my wedding...and then keep going. So what's different now you say? Well, I'm determined. And I'm doing it better than I ever have. I look at my son who depends on me and I need to depend on myself and they are two big enough reasons.

The next time you see another photo of me will be when I am 109.3 kgs....There won't be too long a wait.

I'm back!! And this time I'm staying

Well, the last post I made was in November of 2007, I guess not long before I got pregnant (actually the month before). I let myself go....I made a lot of promises to myself but I forgot them. I have a beautiful baby boy who was born in August of 2008. My pre-pregnancy weight was 110 - yes I hiked and hiked up to that. And my post pregnancy weight at my first weight in October 2008 was 128.3. In 13 weeks I have lost 9.1kg. I am now 119.2. Let's see if I can rustle up some photos since I am quite a visual person and personally, love seeing photos in blogs....wait for it....
