102 lbs lost UPDATE!

MyChocolateDiet · May 2013

I'm not sure why, but I find the "mom" suit infinitely more sexy and fashioney. Congratulations though, excellent work. I thought there'd be before pics though?

I got the suit at Just Add Water.

My before pic is from when I started at MFP. I had already lost 59 lbs at that point. I don't have any from my heaviest. I avoided cameras at all costs.

I still have stretchmarks and loose skin. A little cellulite. A c-section scar and puckering. I lost very slowly. But hey...after losing that much, I could care less about those things. :-)

Oooh, and most importantly, I LIFTED HEAVY! :-)

People are friending me to see my logs. I have to warn you - I don't eat clean all the time. I don't log all the time. I have five kids at home, and find it hard to keep up with cooking for myself and logging daily. I make sure I keep active, do my lifting, attempt at a deficit. Perfect, no...is it working, yes. I love to eat...I can't starve myself. That's why it took me so long to lose.

Amazing! You should not be worried about wearing a bikini at all. I'm jealous because I will never see myself in one.

Girl you made it. Way to go! And you are definitely going to make a head turner run into a stop sign

I agree you look great in both but I LOVE the one piece! Such a nice bathing suit... where did u get it? LOL

brandileah111 · May 2013

I got the one piece at Just Add Water. It's a Gottex (spell?) suit, I believe.

There are a lot of people messaging me that I lost my weight too quickly and in an unhealthy way. I have specifically stated that it took me nearly two years to lose this weight, and that I lost 59 lbs of it before joining MFP. I'm not sure where you're reading that I lost it in 7 months...that is not the case. It's been a long journey. Please read before you attack people...

It appears this was my fault, a typo in my profile in the date my journey started. Apologies! :-)

Any advice for busy moms that work and raise kids? Any secrets?

brandileah111 · May 2013

Get used to waking up REALLY early! LOL! I found I can't focus when I workout with the kids around, plus I'm really self-conscious working out around my husband. He's just now started training me seriously, so before, I just wanted him around when I needed a spot. I get up around 4:30 or so to get the workout done while they sleep, so nothing can derail it. If I miss it, I just try to cram it in when I can. I like Shred, running, yoga...but none of it works like the heavy weights do. You have to make time for you, and not feel guilty about it. In the end, it's better for everyone to have a healthy mom!

So jelly! Congratulations. Sometimes I have to remind myself that its not the number on the scale, but how you look and feel. You are proof of that! This is another motivator for today so thank you for that.
