Nearly 2 years after having my baby, 3 knee surgeries, issues with insomnia and LIFE in general, I've finally reached my goal weight which is my pre-pregnancy weight. 30 pounds down from the time I started really TRYING to lose weight after the birth of my son. I feel healthy, comfortable and AWESOME! I thought it was hard to lose the 50 pounds I gained and then ultimately lost in college, but nothing prepares you for the difficulty of weight loss when you have a family, career, 50 x's more responsiblities, etc. And let me tell you, I know 30 pounds doesn't sound like much, but it's still super hard. BUT IT'S WORTH IT!!! I was/am worth it, and so are you!!!
Hopefully this works, it's my first time, hehehe. :-)

Great job, congrats on the weight loss. What workouts did you do? and how many calories were you eating?
I eat 12-1500 calories a day and workout 5-6 times per week for about an hour. I do about 50/50 cardio and strength training. I love kettle bell excercises because they keep my heart rate up while also helping with muscle tone. I have to be careful and quite sensible with my excercising because it's been less than a year since I had my second ACL reconstruction and 6 months since I had a menisectomy. :-)0 -

This one of the highest forms of compliments, so I thank YOU! It was hard back when, but the adjustment is absolutely crazy with extra responsibilities!0 -

Pre pregnancy weight is amazing! You look great!
I wish I would have lost my college/early marriage weight before kids, but I waited until after my first child to really get serious about my weight, and you're right, I think it would have been so much easier to do before the extra responsibilities!0 -
Are those the same plaid shorts?! You look awesome!
They sure are! I was barely able to button them before and now they fit perfectly...dare I say, maybe even a little loose! Wahoo!0 -
