Danelle’s Weight Today: 153 pounds
Heavy with a 39-week gestating baby, I weighed 171 pounds before Seven was born last weekend. You can see the before photos of me at the hospital before giving birth.
The easy part is over… now for the difficult part of losing all this weight. My pre-pregnancy weight this time was 118 pounds (I’m only 5’ 1” tall), meaning I gained a whopping 53 pounds to give birth to a 7 pound baby!
I’m aiming for my regular weight of 100 pounds so that I’ll be able to wear my smaller range of maternity clothes for a bit longer.
I’m calling this challenge the Losing 71 pounds in 90 days Weight Loss Challenge
(and no, I don’t recommend it for anyone else – this is my personal baby weight loss project). The end date will be April 9th.
Here are a few photos of me that my husband snapped of me today, January 17, 2010, exactly 8 days after delivery. Today I weigh 153 pounds. My day-by-day weight loss table is below.
Unfortunately, I outgrew all my largest maternity clothes from last pregnancy by about 6 months along in this pregnancy. So, I’d like to lose all this weight quickly, as in before I get pregnant again!
It took 9 months to pack on 53 pounds, and I’m going to try to lose it all in 3 months (before the next pregnancy – fingers crossed). I’ll be posting updates on my weight loss challenge and the activities and eating habits that help me reach my goal weight of 100 pounds. Of course, I’ll post photos too so we can see the shrinking body along the journey!
Hi Danelle~
Yes, I am here at Wainwright, and actually during the Holidays I saw a post about Friends church. We have been there a couple of times, and may start going again. We are still trying out new churches to see where the Holy Spirit leads us. We really love it here!!! Please keep in touch! Blessings!!!
I think you look beautiful, Danelle. I love your hair dark, and your glasses are so chic. Good luck with your weight loss. Be safe!
@Tara: Thank you so much! I’ll need the luck with the weight loss, but if I don’t quite make it, it won’t be the end of the world

@Barb: Glad to know you’re so close! We were at church this morning, but there were probably about 800 people there, so it might be impossible to find you unless we have a set meeting spot ahead of time. You can email me anytime at DanelleIce (at) homeeverafter (dot) com and we can set something up. Are you going to be joining MOPS (the mothers’ small group)?

Hi, good luck on your journey!! Are you nursing your little one?? DRAMATICALLY helps with the weight loss, and the tummy re-coil!
@Nichole: Thanks for the good luck! Yes, I am nursing, so hopefully that will burn some extra calories. So glad you stopped by!
