I have always struggled with weight, particularly body fat and body image.. after having two children and not being pleased with how I looked, I decided to get fit and reduce body fat. Today, I was able to fit into one of my favourite pre-pregnancy pants that I have not been able to wear in a year.

Aug 2 measurements:
Waist: 38
Hips: 44
Arms: 15
Thighs: 26
Body Fat %: 40.7
SW: 187 lbs (223 lbs post partum)

Today's measurements:
Waist: 34
Hips: 42
Arms: 13
Thighs: 24.5
Body Fat %: 36.1
CW: 182.5
GW: 160 lbs

I've also been documenting the changes I'm making with my body using photos:

    At first I thought your CW was 160, and I was like "Why is everyone congratulating her?! That's scary weight loss!" But I see now that you're down a few pounds and many inches. Congrats! Keep up the good work. =)

    Haha, I see why you thought that! Nope, most of the 5.5 lbs was probably waterweight but I lost a lot of inches. Thanks so much for the support

    You are going to love it! The workout kicks so much butt but keep at it once you get it. I need to tell myself to keep pushing cause I'm seeing results and I want to see more (and do more).
