Weighed in at 159.2 this morning!!! My original goal has been 160 pounds but now that I'm here... I know I want to go for 140. I originally decided 160 because that's what I weighed when I got married and I was pretty comfortable then, but now, 2 kids later, I carry my weight much differently so think I'd be much happier at 140. I'm 5'3. I use the elliptical 3 times a week but just started Jillian Michael's 30 day shred today and will be doing that daily for the next month. I eat 1600 calories a day because I'm breastfeeding, but if I wasn't, I'd eat around 1200-1300.

I weighed 231 pounds the day I had my son, and 214 the week after but I don't have any pictures at 214 sadly.

Unfortunately, even after losing over 50 pounds, I have not dropped a single bra size! Blah!!

Here's my comparison! Here's to the next 20!!

    Could be because of the breastfeeding, no?

    That is so awesome! Congrats to you! Thanks for posting the pics. I need to do that, but need to convince myself that I will appreciate the before pics once I get down even farther. I wish I had your issue with the bra size... Lol! My bras are EMPTY! I could fit both boobs in 1 cup I think. :laugh:

    That's what I'm hoping, although I'm terrified once I stop breastfeeding they won't only shrink ,but... get nice and looong lol

    Congratulations on the weight loss - very impressive!

    I also like the comparison shots wearing exactly the same clothes and in the same pose - very rigorous.

    Awesome work! Can I make a suggestion? Skip the eliptical, and hit the weights. You'll see even better results from having some muscle mass.
