AMAZING WORK! You give me motivation. Although I haven't had any kids, your starting weight is similar to mine. I'm still trying to adjust and find a plan that works for me, but I will lose this weight. I can't believe you have 5/6 kids, even before the weightloss you looked darn good! Congrats on your victory!

Congratulations! You look amazing! I have also just recently tried thinking about this whole"diet" thing a lot different! Congrats again!

Thank you for posting your story. It made me really think about how I am in a similar situation. I have starved myself and yes lost weight but then gained it back. I did this out of desperation. I am losing weight for me to feel good and I need to feel good doing it. I have gotten it into my head that I need to eat in order to lose weight. Starvation is not the key. I have committed to exercising 4x a week and only for 30 minutes. I bought a new bike and I really am excited to be a little more in shape to get some good use out of it this spring. I plan to reward myself with new clothes and a new look! I know that I am worth it and I am not letting desperation or anything else stand in my way anymore. I have a super supportive husband who tells me that he loves me no matter what. He tells me that the mirror is lying to me! I tell him that he is sweet but I know better. My skin is tight right now and I just feel run down. I am only 31 and I should have more energy. I just have to remember that my body is my temple and I have to treat it that way.

You are truly an inspiration to those of us who continually beat ourselves up over how many cals in and how many cals out and the whole extreme dieting and what not...at the end of the day its about how you feel and what you a willing to do to feel comfortable in your own body..all I can say is WOW, you look FANTASTIC

Well done!!

Ok, I'll be the one who asks. Why are your pants unzipped in a bar? are you some sort of dancer?

I'm at the foot of my bed in my bedroom. Sure I'm a dancer, but only for an audience of ONE. Hehe

Honestly, I debated with myself awhile before posting these pics. I believe in keeping myself covered in public and saving the more revealing clothes for when I'm at home with hubby (and this is definitely public! But a bit easier since y'all don't know me personally.) I would never wear that workout shirt to one of my martial arts classes!

I decided to show off a bit more here because I figured the majority of folks reading this thread would be women. We women are constantly bombarded with images of young, childless, flawless women, and we sometimes can't help but compare ourselves to totally impossible standards. Maybe it's time we start seeing more REAL Abellies with stretch marks? And cellulite? And surgery scars? Maybe we need to hear more that those bellies are beautiful, too?

REally really awesome! You seem to have the right attitude and I love it! It's so great to have a man who loves you "no matter what" as well! I know that helps

Job wonderfully done.

I also cannot emphasize enough that my results flow from learning to love myself, not that I've learned to love myself because I got some results! I focus on eating foods that my body needs, that give me more energy, and that I love! The exercise I do is something that I'm passionate about and possibly the only thing I do that's just for *me*. I'm trying to care for myself in the same loving way that I care for my children and husband. Knowing that, as the heart of my home, I will have more to give them.

Oh, I would walk around with my pants unzipped, photo posing all the time if I had your stomach! Great job with your success...keep it up;-) And I love, love your profile pic. Those hip accessories make all the belly flab in the world worth it! :happy:
