You look amazing! I can relate to this. I'm also a SAHM of 2. I feel awful about my body. I'm just starting my journey. Seeing this is extra motivation!

You've done really well and it looks like you've lost more than the 22lbs. Your husband is such a sweetie!

20 lbs in 2 months that is awesome. You should be proud!!
I am also short and 188 -ish and I need some motivation.
Did you follow the 1200 cal plan or were you able to eat more and still lose? *curious*

I try to stay around 1200. (Somedays I'm over some days in not) Breakfast was my biggest challenge. I find drinking my breakfast keeps me until lunch.

Instead of limiting my food I replaced unhealthy options with healthy ones. Example I love chips. Instead I eat carrots with Caesar dressing. Fills the crunchy need and the dressing gives it a little more flavor. And I switched all ground beef to ground turkey. Bananas instead of oil and lots of flour in pancakes. Spaghetti squash and zucchini instead of pasta.

In reality I feel like I eat more now because I've made better choices. I'm teaching myself portion control. Learning to eat all over again is fun.

But don't get me wrong I do have days where I eat whatever I want for a meal. I don't deprive myself of what I love. I eat it in smaller portions and not all the time.

And I have up coke. I drink way more water now.

I also get my body moving. I can walk just about anyplace or I ride my bike. No need to drive to the grocery store when I can walk. It takes more time but I am learning to like the walking. I rode my bike 30 minutes to drop off rent today instead of driving the 10 minutes there.
