81.5 pounds lighter...in 6 months!
While I was pregnant with my 2nd child, I decided that once he arrived, I would change my lifestyle and work at becoming a size healthier. I am proud to share my pictures and plan to continue posting updated pictures as I continue to lose. My first major goal is 100 pounds lost by my son's 1st birthday on Oct. 19th, 2011.…

First NSV!!
So yesterday I went to buy some summer things for my kids and I needed a few things for myself for work. I never try on clothes.:huh: I know, crazy right? I just buy the size that looks like it will fit and that has worked so far. And that is what I did yesterday. I picked up the 3x shirt and came home. This morning when I…

I could fit more than my ankle in!!!!
So, as a reward for making it out of the "obese" category and into the "overweight" category, I went window shopping at Macy's. Of course, I spent most of my time in my favorite department: INC. I wanted to see if I could fit into the next size down. I've already committed to not buying anything until I lose another 5 lbs.…

Two NSVs Today
Two things happened today..... 1. I had just completed my warm-up set of deadlifts (135lbs, rapid set of 8 reps) and a guy comes up to me and says "You have to be really strong to do that exercise.

NSV - C25K Grad :)
When I joined MFP in January I had just started working out again after having my daughter. I tried to do an interval workout I had always done easily before my pregnancy and couldn't sustain a jog for even 2 mins! Very discouraging to someone who used to run 4-5 miles a few times a week. So I started the C25K sometime in…

I beat the sugar!
2 1/2 weeks ago, I restarted my weight loss goal. On my first true day eating well, I had a HORRIBLE mid afternoon. I craved sugar like CRAAAAAAAAZY. I literally felt like I was out of control. But I got through it, thanks to the awesome people on here. And I can now say, without a doubt, that I beat my sugar addiction. I…

Has anyone received any negativity about their weight lose?
I have been careful not to be "showy" about my weight lose. But I have received a few negative looks and smirks. Someone said to me the other day, "Oh, your wearing skinny jeans now?" It was very sarcastic sounding. Truth is, the jeans I was wearing I bought back in October and had worn them several times before starting…
