Mother's Day, 133 pounds difference

Sparlingo

Your results are incredible, and you are beautiful, but what I really appreciate in your post is your attitude and your enthusiasm for life. Thank you for being honest about the struggles with maintenance - it is a problem we all hope to have soon enough, but it's not something talked about as often.

Also, your son is incredibly lucky to have a mom that cares enough to be as fully alive and engaged as you. You have done something wonderful for yourself and your family .

It is good to remember where we have come from! And you have come so very far :flowerforyou:.

Thank you for being honest about what happens after you've maintained your new lifestyle and shape for awhile. Nobody ever really thinks of that, but you are absolutely right that the novelty will wear off. You ROCK for continuing your new lifestyle even when you don't get all of the daily outside reminders anymore. THAT speaks volumes about your dedication to this. You look marvelous and congratulations for being so amazing and motivated to stay this way for yourself and your family!

You are an inspiration to all of us that are starting our journey.... Looking at your pictures and how happy you look it's motivation for me...thanks for sharing your story!

Awesome. Thanks for posting your blog link. I am the same way- I have few pics from when my son was born because I didn't like being in them and deleted them. How sad!!! It's changing for me though too. What a transformation you've had! I hope you keep going and keep remembering like you did on here- it's inspirational and real for other people reading it.

Amazing! Thank you for the inspiration! I am at the start of my journey - and am hoping to lose 35lbs. It seems overwhelming to me, but you have inspired me tonight!

Amazing transformation and I love how you brought that your son would enjoy his mother more that way. I feel that I am trying to be better because of my daughter. We want the beat for our kids, and when we can give that its a huge win. Again, you look amazing.

Fantastic effort. Being a mother of 2 young kids myself it tugs at the heart strings with the number of photo's I've chosen to not be in, or not wanted to be taken and held the kids up infront of me to cover everything. ... I'm still a WIP but getting there.

Great job for setting the example for your little one and I will be doing the same.

Well, you haven't heard MY "you look GREAT" yet, sooooo...YOU LOOK GREAT!! Glad you are spending your money on the things that you really WANT!! But I can understand buying the smaller clothes before just cuz they fit.

CONGRATS on the changes you have made--and will make with your family.
