Charlotte's Nonscale Victories

Toward the end of her eight-week challenge, Charlotte and her husband went to Disney's Animal Kingdom. She wore a pair of her prepregnancy shorts. "I was so excited to wear them again, but the problem was that I didn't anticipate how much looser they were on me now than before the baby," Charlotte said. "We ended up laughing because we had to search for a belt since the shorts were literally falling off of me."

There were a few moments the first month where Charlotte would get glimpses of feeling like her prebaby self in the gym. "One particular instance was when I squat snatched within five pounds of my all-time max with ease," Charlotte beamed. "It had been almost a year of not snatching due to pregnancy and I couldn't wait to tell my husband, and can remember getting teary eyed during the drive home."

Charlotte had someone tell her while she was pregnant to throw away her cute form-fitting dresses because after having a baby she probably wouldn't fit into them again. She said, "Well, I fit into all of them with room to spare! I actually need to take a few to the seamstress to get them taken in."
