Almost one year later and -75lb!

Pregnancy is a beautiful thing! I have a wonderful 15 month old son I adore. Unfortunately, while carrying him I took the whole 'eating for two' and ran with it. I consumed fattening, carb heavy, processed junk for 9 months. Before I knew it, I had gained 70lbs. You can do quite a bit of damage in 9 months! A few months after I had him, I decided to take a hold of my life and fitness. Lifting heavy weights has completely changed my body composition. I cannot recommend it enough ladies! I eat clean 85% of the time and enjoy treats in moderation for the rest. I do not starve myself and I am fairly active now. This is the new me for life!

    You look incredible!

    I lift in a class, and have been progressively increasing my weights, but it's stories like this that make me excited to learn how to life "real" weights -- you look like a whole new person :smile:. A happier, healthier one!

    Your boy will benefit from you having the strength and energy to chase him through his childhood. Congrats on your little one, and on your success!
