Hello all!!! I am so excited to be posting these pictures here for my friends on MFP!! Though my journey is not yet complete, and I have about 20 pounds until I reach my goal weight, as of Thursday I have just completed the P90x program and wanted to share my progress thus far! My starting weight was 211, though in these "before" pics, I weighed probably 10 pounds less than that. My current weight is 160.
After I had my last baby, I continued to gain weight instead of lose! I even stopped letting anybody take my picture (thus I don't have a pic at my heaviest)! That is when I said enough is enough, and got myself back on track. I am now down to the weight where I was when I got pregnant with my youngest, however I still have about 20 pounds until I am at the weight I was about 2 years before that. I am a vvveeeeery busy mom to 5 wonderful kids (ages 8 months to 11 years), and I needed to get back into shape to be able to keep up with them, and teach them not to follow the awful path I found myself traveling! Now normally I won't show my stomach to anyone, and I certainly wouldn't go to the beach in a bikini! All of these babies have left my tummy looking like...well, like someone left all the air out of me, LOL. So forgive the stretch marks and general yuckiness which I know I probably have in common with many other moms on here!
After I started my lifestyle change, I soon found the P90x program, and decided to try it, even though I was totally intimidated and certain I would probably die before I ever was able to complete it! Yet here I am, and I just wanted to share my victory. I lost about 40 pounds with P90x. Ok. Enough babbling, here's the pics!!!
This picture on the left is when she was about a month old. I started my journey about 3 months later, and 10 pounds heavier! The picture to the right was taken yesterday. The baby is now 8 months old.
In this picture to the left, I know I look pregnant! I'm NOT! But my belly was still growing! The baby was 2.5 months old here.
These pictures were taken at days 30, 60, and 90 of the program! I never took my day 0 pics, I was too ashamed to even do it! Or maybe I never thought I'd make it to day 90!
And the final one...this to the left was also on day 30, and the one on the right was yesterday.
All in all, I have lost 12.5 inches from my waist and 10 inches from my hips. I feel fantastic and I have so much more energy than I did when I started. All I can say is if you're just starting this journey, stick with it. One day you'll look back, and all of those pictures you hate so much of yourself will become your trophies. The hard work will be worth it in the end!!!
