March 26th 2009 I weighed 200lbs. I'm 5'1 and was 41 weeks pregnant. I never in a million years thought I would see a 2 as the first number of my weight. The next two years I lost some weight, gained it back, lost some weight and gained it back. June 2011 I was on Pinterest and someone pinned a success story (from this website) of a woman who had the body of a mother and busted her *kitten* doing the 30DS. I honestly didnt believe the pictures. It's still pinned on my wall as "I honestly don't believe this".
She. Looked. Amazing.
After I realized that it was 100% true I made myself an account on here and started logging my food and doing the Shred myself. Hit some rough patches in my personal life and logging and the the 30DS were put on the back burner but the healthy habits stayed with me. Earlier this month I hit 20 pounds lost. A good friend of mine just started using the site and wanted to see a progress picture of myself for motivation so I took one that was similar to the ones I took back in June. The before pictures I hadn't planned on showing anyone at all, let alone post them on the internet but I suppose I'm proud of how I've been doing. I currently weight 152.8. I haven't seen this number in close for 4 years. I couldn't have done it without the amazing people on this website. I have met some great friends and some of the most motivational people ever in the short four months I've been here. Thank you guys- So much!
Sooo- Here's to another 20lbs!
Ps. try not to barf :P
