I have weighed less than 138 (got to 133.4 in May of 2013) but as of right now that's where I am at.
I started in March of 2012 at 234 and climbing. Since then I have shedded a lot of pounds and Inches through cardio and some strength training.
I am incorporating more weights into my routine. I would really like to firm up and tone muscles. My hubby is wanting another baby but I want to wait til I reach my goals first. LOL.

    Haha thanks. I'm only 23 so it would be weird to look REALLY young now, but I had gone to a concert in July last year and they carded me (due to being alcohol there) and I figured they'd card everyone but the guy said I didn't look 21 at all. I feel 16 so if I look 16 that's okay with me LOL

    Thanks! I am proud, but at the same time the past me still lives within me and I still see myself as fat. It's helpful to hear how good I look or how well I've done, but I still see that I need to lose more. Still feel like the old me.

    You may see the old you, but all we see is the new one! I know you feel like you still need to lose, and that's cool too, but man, look how far you've come. The old you is gone :) You look fantastic. And you've been working hard, you deserve it. So major congrats!

    I totally get what you're saying. I'm still shocked when I fit into certain things. Still have that "fat girl" mentality sometimes. You look fantastic! You should be very proud of yourself! :drinker:

    Thank you! I don't know if that feeling will ever go away, but I hope it does. If my husband and I do have another baby, I don't want to sit there pregnant calling myself fat... Hopefully I won't gain as much because I'll be active the next time around. My mom thinks I wouldnt gain as much and will lose it quicker because I know what I"m doing and I know how I lost it before.

    Thanks! And the rest of my progress should I make it down to 125 lbs and toned like I want to, will look minimal compared to this. I just wanted to get this out there before I continued on with my journey!

    Thanks. I am much happier. i'm glad I can keep up with my 2 year old son. I'm sure had I not lost weight I'd tire and be out of breath easily.

    Thanks! And I'll agree that seeing that people who have children can succeed in weight loss is a great thing because it shows others that you can lose weight even if you've had a child. It is definitely harder I think to try to lose weight when you have a little person who demands a lot of time and energy and attention, but it's not impossible!
