So I'm about halfway to my initial goal. I started January 1. (Cliches are cliches for a reason, haha) I have sidelined myself a little due to some knee pain, but I've been doing Zumba about 4 times a weeks since mid January. I swim sometimes in the evening. I'm a SAHM, about to be 36. I have three little boys, an almost 4 year old, a 2.5 year old and an almost 1 year old. I'm close to 6 feet tall.

Christmas 2012. This is the photo that did it for me. I'm quite over being pregnant, thank you very much, although this one makes me look like I am still.

This is the beginning of March.. right at 3 months of eating right and exercising.

This is today. That lump around my middle is my freaking mom jeans. I really need new clothes.

I love MFP and I recommend it to everyone. I do not feel deprived ever..

  • You look amazing! You can really see the progress in the pics! You are an inspiration to me because I am so impatient about this whole weightloss thing. I started in March and honestly believed I'd be at my goal by now. Wow, did I have a wakeup call, because I'm not even close! Seeing that you gradually changed over the months and eventually hit a point where you can see an obvious and great difference helps me want to keep going. Thanks for sharing!

    And I thouht I was tall. Never would have guessed you were that tall. You are doing fantastic, especially with 3 little ones to take care of. This is an outstanding plan and the support is unsurpassed. You look fabulous my friend. Keep up the excellent work
