I know I've posted my success pictures on here before, but I was very pleasantly surprised this week to find that I am now in a size 10. I thought I was still in a size 12. Oh, I'm in a medium shirt too. Yeah!!!

Here are some pictures...

245 pounds (or more)

Thanks, everyone!

I have been working on this since December 2005 (after my mom's heart attack death). Of course, I have had two kids in there, but I have been working at it all the time in there when I wasn't pregnant.

I LOVE Turbo Jam, running, Biggest Loser dvds, and Jillian Michaels. I don't follow any specific schedule with these...just whatever I feel like that day. I exercise 4-6x/week on average. For eating, I eat whole grains, lowfat dairy, lean meats, lots of fruits/veggies, healthy fats, try to stay away from too much artificial stuff, and drink at least 96 oz of water daily. I also try to only eat one portion of food at a sitting and do splurge every now and then.

Wow! This is an inspiration since I am trying to get into a size 12 down from 14 but a size 10 would be a dream..Congratulations. You look great. I lift weights in the early morning before work but only a few target exercises.

SASSYJAX

WOW!
Good for you.

I went down sizes same as you but when i go shopping even now 5 years on i still look in the outsize section!
I really missed my big boobs though...it takes some getting used to doesnt it! I found the pressure of maintenenace really hard, especially when i changed jobs and couldnt work out as much. I only put on when i remarried and I did know better but thought it wouldnt matter...but yes, it does now! SO here I am trying to find that girl who was so fired up and motivated and achieved so much all those 5 years ago!
