    The beginning......
    Someone told me about 30DS, I looked it up online and saw a lot of good reviews and bought it. I always knew I needed to change and lose weight to feel better about myself and to be honest, life in general. I never stuck with it and kept pushing. I never gave 100% or even 50% until 2/16/12. Something clicked and I was determined to complete 30DS. I told myself its 30 days...Mind over matter. Seeing the number on the scale decreasing kept me going! Over time I learned more and more about eating right and fitness thanks to this wonderful site/app. I seriously don't think I could have done this without MFP!!!

    What I did:

    Throughout my journey I have really mixed it up. 30 Day Shred, lots of walking (I was a car hop at Sonic which was a great bonus! ), weight lifting, jogging, Zumba. I was always changing it up. I am so glad I started running! I can now jog 5.5 miles and it is the one workout I really look forward to! :)

    I am 5'9"

    HW when pregnant: 278
    HW after birth: 257
    MFP starting weight: 243
    CW: 170.0
    GW: 170
    UGW: 160

    Right now my plan is to reach 165 and maintain 165-170.

    I am currently doing 6 week 6 pack and I finish week 3 tomorrow!

    Here are some pictures!!!!
