    You really do look amazing. I've been having a rough couple weeks staying healthy and you've inspired me to tighten my reins again!

    I'm way too far away from you for the offer of the packages to be worth considering (the postage would be way too expensive!) but I have to commend you for you amazing transformation - your body is TOO DIE FOR!
    And the idea of paying it forward is really awesome too. So a huge kudos to you for everything and best wishes with your maintenance!!

    I am a mom of two boys and have been struggling with my weight since I got pregnant for my oldest (soon to be 11 years old). Pre-pregnancy I was 125 lbs (5 foot 1 inches tall). With both pregnancies I had gestational diabetes and was seeing a nutritionist for the first, a two month stint on bed rest due to extreme swelling in my legs. It was shocking that the day he was born I weighed in at 216 lbs. I managed to get back down to 149 lbs. after 2 years then I got pregnant again and had to do glucose tests/exercise and see a nutritionist for him. A bad bout of pneumonia at 6 months pregnant (included a 6 day stint at the hospital) was pretty scary but I got back to doing what I needed to try and manage the diabetes. However, once again I weighed in at 216 lbs. the day my youngest was born. Here I am 8 years later and only have made it down to 177 lbs.

    I have two HUGE reasons for wanting to get into shape. The 1st being my family, I want to have more energy for my boys. The second is that I am a lunch aide at a school and my job is to encourage kids to eat healthy. Our school does a great job in providing healthy lunches for the kids. My biggest problem is I feel like a hypocrite being overweight and trying to encourage these kids. I want to live it, not just say it. I haven't been a member of My Fitness Pal for long, but to read your story is encouraging and I hope I can do half as well as you did to get in shape. Thank you for sharing your story and your pictures, it means a lot to me.

    It is very positive to hear from someone else with PCOS who has had HUGE amount of success and managed to have 4 children. This is something which is a big worry for me and i'm getting to that stage of life where my clock is a ticking and I just don't know how successful i'm going to be in having my own family.

    Congratulations on getting your life back, you are truly inspirational :flowerforyou:

    No need to enter me into the Giveaway (Fabulous, fabulous idea!!) as I live in the UK and the DVD wouldn't play here anyways, but what an amazing transformation.
    I have absolutely NO idea how you fitted it all in. I work full time (and then some) and am a mother of a 4 year old (not of 4 kids - just one, aged 4) and once the work, the kid, the cooking, the upkeep, the dog etc. etc. has all been accounted for, I'm floored (and then go to the gym - has to be done). But 5 kids, full time work, hypoactive thyroid (been there, done that - it is INCREDIBLY wearing. Hope you've had some thyroxine and a good GP to sort it out for you - it makes a world of difference!!), PCOS etc. and then transforming yourself to that degree: You're an inspiration!
    To say "well done" is an understatement - but seriously, "well done!" for a healthier, happier you.

    A lot of people would have given up with all those health conditions, but you persevered. Bravo! You're quite the inspiration!

    I have Hashimoto's too (and thyroid cancer)! Your transformation is absolutely amazing! I hope I can achieve similar results, even despite the under active thyroid!

    Wow, you look amazing! What a transformation! Kudos to you! :drinker:

    What a nice thing to do - I really like the idea of paying it forward! Just because we struggle and had to learn each little step of the way doesn't mean that everyone else has to struggle the same! oh and no need to enter me into the giveaway as I live in the UK and the DVD wouldn't play here.

    Brilliant idea! :flowerforyou:
