My success story

arains89

Hey everyone! My name is Amanda I am 24. I have two babies my son is 5 and my daughter is 13 months. After I had my daughter and the 6 week recovery period was over I was 172lbs. I have always been slightly overweight. Hovering between 155-170 ever since I can remember. I am 5'6". Well in January, after having my daughter in September, I decided it was time to get fit. I have lost 34 lbs from 172 to 138. I went from a size 12 to a 6. Along this journey I have been through hell. Two months ago my daughter's father left us out of the blue. I've taken the past couple months off and now I am back wanting to tone and maybe lose another 10 lbs. I feel fabulous with my health and I am hoping posting this will give me some encouragement to get out of my funk and depression where I have just been maintaining and get back on the grind. Here are some pictures.

Right after I had my daughter

You'll be better off without him. There's nothing worse than living with someone who has one foot out the door all the time. For what it's worth, you're beautiful. Now get back out there! Your kids need you.

Thank you! Believe me I know I am better off. I am much happier now. Just took some soul searching to figure it out. But you made me smile

Amazing story and photos. How did you stay on track with your weight loss. I mean my daugther is 2 years old and although i only gained 22 lbs with her, I had weight to lose before here. I find it hard sometimes and want to snack especially at work. What is the secret?

Thank you for sharing your story! It always inspires me when people continue their weight loss and exercise/eating healthy plan in the midst of personal turmoil. Well done!! You should be so flippin proud of yourself!
