After 21 lb loss

SakuraRose13

My name is Holly and Im 29 yrs old I have 2 daughters ages 1 yr as of March 9th and a 2.5 yr old .Im a SAHM Im hoping I inspire someone today.After having my 2 pregnancies so close together for the first time ever I was overwieght .Im 4ft 10 in and on Jan 1st 2013 wieghed in at 150.5 my BMI scared me.I suffered from gestational diabetes because of my wieght during my last pregnancy and I vowed after that I would never have diabetes later in life my doctor warned me my chances of having it went up by 30% I m refuse to be a statistic.Im went through some dieting but the wieght didnt budge I thought why can't I be like those other sucess stories why do I have to just settle with the fact that since Ive had children Im not longer important.Well guess what I matter and for the first time since having my 2 daughters Im feeling pretty good about myself Im gaining my confidince back slowly.My husband is loving it of course he loves no matter my size but the confidience I'm gaining is great,when we first met I was a slim trim 105 and active.After bieng together for some time and children my wieght crept up.Well here Im 21 lbs lighter and happier Im not done yet but Im on my way I want to be able to keep up with my active daughters and husband.I need to be a good role model for my daughtters.

I have 2 pictures one from june 2012 and a recent picture

I keep telling people Im not an excpetion to the rule anyone who wants to lose can just understand you didnt gain all the wieght overnight so don't expect to lose it that way,all good things come to those who wait.

I have 20 lbs to go but I know I can do this I will suceed.
