In my (older-ish) teenage years I hovered around 140-145 lbs, which is the tippy top of the healthy weight range for me, but I never cared for the way I looked. Though looking back now, I didn't look as bad as I thought then.

This was when I got married at 19 (I know, I know, I was baby.)

So I was a newly married college student. Double whammy! I gained 20 lbs.

During the eight years that followed, I stayed around about 155-165 lbs, despite having 2 kids.

When I was pregnant the second time I documented the changes my body made. Here is I guess 18 months post pardum or so. I was probably around 155 lbs, but my scale at the time was bonkers so who knows.

I joined babyfit and that was my first taste of online calorie counting, but it was frustrating to use because I had to type in most things into the database because it's not as extensive as here. I had some facebook friends that were using mfp, so I switched over, and magic happened!

So here I am now. 5'4" 125 lbs. I have NEVER been this small in my adult sized life. I feel like the single most beautiful woman on this planet. Yea, I've still got some pudge around my belly, but I'm working on it through weight training. I'm not losing any more weight because I love my boobs and butt, and want to keep them. lol

And the 30 day shred. I did it in 6 weeks just because. I have no idea, I just did. Anyway: Starting weight: 131 lbs. Ending weight: 125 lbs. Lost 4 inches overall.

    It's the spaces in your album name "Summer Fall 2012." Photobucked parses those spaces as "%20" and MFP's super particular bbcode doesn't recognize it, so you have to manually replace each instance where "%20" shows up with a blank space.

    Fantastic progress!!!! :drinker:
