Ok so I've never written a blog before, but right now I actually feel so good about my weightloss progress that I feel I need to. I started my journey a year ago after seeing pictures of myself from my son's first birthday. Lets just say I was disgusted. Not just by how I looked but that I let myself get like that. I have always been in shape, a tri-athlete all through high school (volleyball, softball, and track/field). I was still in decent shape before having my first child. It helped that i lost through my whole pregnancy too i guess. After having her I was at my pre-preggo weight fairly quickly. The only difference was a large saggy belly(mother's apron) as ive recently discovered its called. She messed me up, a billion stretchmarks and a c-section later. I would never chage it for the world and coming to terms with my stretch marked belly is a whole other story. With my second baby i gained a ton more weight. 212 at delivery. Then for some reason i let myself go. I honestly have no clue why. But last year I finally had enough hating how I looked. So i got my big butt up and worked at it. The progress was slow at first. Very slow, with a ton of yo-yoing. After I got into a routine it became easier. The results were what kept me going and still do. I plan to lose more how much I really dont know. I guess when im finally happy with how my new mothers body looks ill start the maintain process. So I though maybe my progress photos could be of some inspiration for other like they have been for me. MILF status here i come!
p.s. go easy im half naked and it took a lot to share these, also keep in mind its my first blog post EVER! <3

    Congrats on the hard work and sticking with it for a year.

    I'm new to this whole change of lifestyle thing. I started my journey at 225 lbs and 5' 10" so pretty close to your starting point.

    It's great to see from your photos what I can be looking forward to so thanks for taking the plunge and posting your photos.
