Every morning I'd jump on to see if it was gone and then try all of my antics to make it go down (removing all clothes, jewelry, bodily waste, and not eating or drinking anything until the weigh-in.) On Saturday morning I jumped on the scale and Mr .5 was still there. AHHH! I decided, as a desperate last resort, to take my glasses off and put my contacts in. Then I jumped back on the scale. Mr. .5 WAS GONE! Hallelujah.
Just for fun, here are before and after shots in the same shirt:
Speaking of Sophie, I can't believe how big she looks now compared to when we brought her home. And look at the way her body is shaped. She went from being curled up in a ball to flailing her arms and legs around all the time.

Wow! Congrats! I still have what I like to call "mission weight". I, like many who served in Las Vegas, gained about 100 pounds on my mission and never really worked at trying to lose it. Anyway, I finally got tired of it enough to want to do something about it, so started a diet about 2 weeks ago and have lost 11 pounds so far. Reading your blog post gives me even more encouragement. Thanks! And congrats again.
Nat, you look fantastic! I never lost the last five pounds with Charlie, until baby number two was on the way, that is! We'll see how it goes this time around ...
Look at you HOT momma! Must be nice to already have all your weight off and your baby is not even a year!!!! I am jealous! I still have 8 pds and you know how easy the last 10 are to get off! You look awesome!
congrats on the last half pound, Nat! I need to get on the motivation train and start working in that same direction. When I started working here I weighed SOOOO much less...it's saddening.
Anyways, you look fabulous!
Congratulations! You make me jealous. I still have 15 pounds to go, and the needle on the scale won't budge anymore! What's your secret?
Well nursing is a biggie, and trying to find a balance between eating too much and eating too little. I didn't really change the food I ate. About a month ago I started the PACE program (by Al Sears...Missy, Heather, and Tagen are doing it, too.) I don't have the book, but I can explain it to you sometime :)
If you search on Amazon for "PACE", it's the first book that pops up.
Lookin Good!! Isn't it incredible how much you can change so quickly? You're dead on about nursing - thank goodness for that. It's frightening what 9 months of pregnancy can do to a body!
I told you nursing was a miracle! That's a great reason to recommend it to people (the health benefits for the baby are good too. . . I guess)
Ok Nat..You look incredible! I so want you to explain the PACE thing to me..I have never heard of it before but I so want to do it. I still have 15 pounds to lose from having the boys almost 4 years ago!! HELP!!
Congrats my friend! You look good! Yes, nursing is the best! It's crazy how fast it comes off.
You guys are way too nice. (Do I admit that I was totally sucking it in? :))
You are HOT! Way to be! The last time I saw you, you were nine months preggo and now you look just like I remember you at BSI!
So here's a non-mommy perspective . . . when is Sophie going to be up to 60 lbs? In my "I've never had this experience" mind, I'm thinking any mom has at least that long before she has to feel bad about birth weight.
