My Journey So Far (and my large pants)

This is me, last summer, after 4 babies . . .about 40 some % body fat and at least 225 lbs. When I started working out I didn't think twice about ordering 1X workout pants and same sized top.

I worked with a trainer at the gym, fell back in love with exercising, dropped about 10% body fat, but only lost about 5 lbs. Here is me a while later, when I found MFP around March 2011. I was proud of my XL pants, and the white hoodie that I was wearing didn't fit me when I started with the trainer.

And here is me today, about 25 lbs lighter and less about 15% body fat . . .and sporting a size L pants and shirt, and oh, so happy!!! This is not my AFTER picture, but I am sure that I am on my way!

Thanks to God for the strength and lessons in discipline that I needed for this journey, to my MFP friends who taught me so much and offered loads of support and encouragement, my trainer who showed me how hard I could push myself and helped me fall in love with exercise again, and of course to my husband and kids who put up with mommy's silly meals and trips to the gym (and who loved me all the way through)
