in Success Stories
I know I've posted my success pictures on here before, but I was very pleasantly surprised this week to find that I am now in a size 10. I thought I was still in a size 12. Oh, I'm in a medium shirt too. Yeah!!!

Here are some pictures...

245 pounds (or more)

(Just for fun...my muscle pictures. Bear in mind that I'm still working on these.)

    Thanks, everyone!

    I have been working on this since December 2005 (after my mom's heart attack death). Of course, I have had two kids in there, but I have been working at it all the time in there when I wasn't pregnant. :)

    I LOVE Turbo Jam, running, Biggest Loser dvds, and Jillian Michaels. I don't follow any specific schedule with these...just whatever I feel like that day. I exercise 4-6x/week on average. For eating, I eat whole grains, lowfat dairy, lean meats, lots of fruits/veggies, healthy fats, try to stay away from too much artificial stuff, and drink at least 96 oz of water daily. I also try to only eat one portion of food at a sitting and do splurge every now and then.
