First picture is a random shot I took of myself in January of this year...then the next one was taken in May after running for about a month...I took one every month from then on...so it's January, May, June, July, August, September
SW 145
CW 127
GW 120-125 (whatever feels healthy)
Height 5'4 1/2"
Still a work in progress...still have skin/belly fat covering those abs...but I know they are there, I may never see them completely, but I sure am trying
I'm a mom to 3 kiddos...4, 3 and 18 months...started running in April and last month finished Ripped in 30 and currently doing JM 6 week 6 pack...and I still run 3-5 days a week. Best advice I can give...screw the scale...take measurements and TAKE PICTURES and find people on here that have the same goals as yourself...that has been one of my biggest motivators Hope to be back one day with a nice ab shot

Actually they are the same jeans, they are sz 10 I still keep them around to show how far I've come (I really only wear them once a month for this picture now) plus now they fit me more like a boyfriend cut jean instead of a skinny can of biscuits cut like in January I was probably a true sz 12 in the first picture and now I'm a sz 6Fantastic. Pics show more than scale. How many sizes did you drop? Those jeans aren't the same ones.
Thank you all, this is why I love MFP...everyone is just so supportive and is here to cheer you on I really never thought I'd see size 6 again or be in the 120's again...after having my kids I thought how is that even possible...but it was like something clicked in April and I haven't looked back since, I've been pretty determined...but yet not to the point where I deprived myself of the things I love (I still eat sweets here and there and I enjoy my beers and wine) I did find out through the course of all of this that I don't crave them as much now though...but when I do have them now they taste even better And in the last month I started having a "cheat" day and that is where a few of my last couple of pounds lost came from I think. When I started this journey I don't think I was eating enough so the weight didn't come off as easy. Really, I'm most comfortable in a sz 6 (I was a 4/6 before I had kids and I felt like it was a healthy size for me) so I don't really want to lose anymore that way, but I would like to tone up my midsection more...which is what I'm hoping happens with JM 6w6p Also, I plan to start training for my first half in December 0 -
