I was feeling like I needed some extra motivation to keep going after a few frustrating days. So I started looking at my progress pictures. There really has been a big difference, even if I'm not quite where I'd like to be yet. I'm pretty impressed with how far I've come, so I wanted to share that success with you, even if I'm not all the way finished!

I'd love some more friends to motivate and keep me motivated! Please add me!

    I honestly don't have one specific thing. I tried to eat as healthy as possible and cut out processed foods that are hard for our bodies to digest. I counted my calories as often as I could. I really tried to get out and just move my body at least 5 days a week. I fell in love with line dancing, long walks, stationary bikes, rock walls, and my most recent love, lifting heavy things. I just try to be healthy and active!

    It has been a long journey with two pregnancies in between, losses and gains, slip ups, and successes. Ultimately, the biggest thing I can say is NEVER EVER GIVE UP! Bad days come. The scale sucks sometimes. Some days it takes everything in you to even get off the couch and not spend the day in front of the fridge. But it is possible. I've still got a long way to go before I'm done, but even when I reach my goal, I'll be working to keep it for the rest of my life. Just keep trying. We can all do this!

    Thanks. Yeah, I got close to my goal right before both pregnancies and they were back to back. My kids are 1 year and 2 days apart. It's been a huge adventure and has made losing weight a bit more of a challenge, but I wouldn't change it for anything!

    Those photos were already impressive before you added the part about two pregnancies!!! Holy smokes! It's pretty obvious that you'll reach your goal and stay there. What a healthy way to begin a family :heart: Seriously impressive. Great attitude, great results!
