in Success Stories
Hi everyone! I have my own success story from 205 lbs and pregnant with twins to a lean and mean 125 lbs now (see those pics on my blog's MY STORY page) but was excited to share another woman's success story on my health and fitness blog, FabulouslyDomestic.com.

Kaylee was a binge eater, hiding food from her husband, and after finally admitting what she was doing, lost the weight through diet and exercise alone.

You can read about it here: http://fabulouslydomestic.com/2012/11/12/success-stories-kaylee-stops-pretending-and-loses-75-pounds-of-fat/

Good luck everyone! It's YOU vs. YOU!

    Amazing!

    I am around 130lbs (60kg) but still carrying so much fat it disgusts me. Any tips?

    Wow....I guess ultimately we all have to overcome negative behaviors and thoughts to succeed and lose the weight, become fit. But sometimes, people overcome challenges that are out of the realm of those of us who got fat just by being lazy and eating too much. Good inspiration.

    theburnetts1 -- I'm so stoked to hear that! Our journeys are always full of "moments"...the combination of the moments are what lead us to better, healthier habits (and lives!). Keep filling your mind with positive affirmations because negativity is what gets most of us!

    Deanna_garner -- The woman I feature in my story (Kaylee) lost a lot more weight than me (and wasn't pregnant). But if you're wondering about me, I actually lost 85 pounds from birth day to now (about 20 lbs of that was actual babies + fluids). In total, I lost about 70 pounds of sheer FAT (not babies) and GAINED about 10 pounds of muscle (that's how you lose so much weight and look awesome -- muscle, muscle, muscle!). I really don't have loose skin problems -- mainly because of my lean muscle mass.

    Question for those of us who arent fortunate enough to stay home. Do you think if you had to continue with your career would you have been able to get the same results and the same time in the gym?

    When I lost the majority of my weight, I was working an executive level position that ate up 60+ hours a week! Yes, it's ENTIRELY possible. Because weight loss is not about how much time you can spend in the gym -- it's about how committed you are to eating clean and reducing your calories.

    Kaylee (who I featured in my blog post mentioned above), was working full-time while losing her weight, too. :)
