My NSV!

nothing big but still exciting for me. I got two of them!

First-while I was doing my cool down today and I was stretching, I could reach my nose to my knees! I haven't been able to do that since I got pregnant the first time! I could also reach past my foot.


Second-today I was approached by a photographer to be a model for a shoot. Nothing fancy or anything, just practice, and he wants to get his business going so he needs examples. I told him that I don't think I'm good enough for that kinda thing but me assured me that I was wrong and to just try it. He also said he would shoot my girls for free as a thank you. So I would get free photographs of me and my girls. I looked at some of his stuff and he is pretty good so I'm thinking about seriously considering it. I also asked him that when I got down to my goal weight if he would do pinup style pictures of me to give to my boyfriend. I wasn't sure if he did that type of stuff, but he said he would and that he didn't think I needed to lose weight to do it. I just laughed at him. I know how to dress my body lol. I also told him about my idea that I wanted to take pictures of me in simple basic underwear to kinda showcase my stretch marks and ripplely skin on my belly from my babies. I want to show woman that they can be beautiful with stretch marks, loose skin, etc. And you don't become any less beautiful after you have a baby. like that website does. Theshapeofamother.com
He thought it was a great idea. And all for free!

Sorry this turned into something long! I'm just excited

That's awesome! I've done modeling for photographers too (fun, not professional) and it's a blast. I ended up w/some great photos of myself in the process. Btw, your starting weight & goal weight are the same as when I started my weight loss journey in 2008. I achieved my goal weight of 140 in March 2009, and maintained my weight around 135 for almost a year. Then, the latter half of 2010 was crazy for me, so I put on about 10-15 lbs. Now, my goal is 132 lbs (my "ideal BMI" weight). I fluctuate between 142-145. I'd love to get at/below 140 again and eventually maintain between 132-135. Idk why I felt compelled to tell you all of that... LOL Anyway, best of luck on your weight loss journey. Let us know how the photo shoot goes. You should definitely do it!

No that's awesome! Thanks for sharing. It gives me hope. I was actually 210 the day I went to the hospital to have my 2nd child. But most of that fell off so fast(water weight) I started at counting when the scale stopped moving. I think I would like to be 135 but right now I'll just stick with 140. My mom weighs 135 and she is super thin looking and I have a slightly bigger build then her
