I've posted here before but wanted to update!

I've actually lost about 64lbs but didn't think to take a before picture until I hit 200lbs. I am 5'3 and 200lbs in the first picture, 150lbs as of this morning in the second picture.

I had my daughter in March, 2011, then about a year later I had my son April 24th and started dieting about 6 weeks later. After 2 or so months of dieting alone, I added in some exercise. Mostly the elliptical, but did a round of 30 day shred and ran one 5K. I hate exercise lol BUT try to get it in when I can. I'd like to get to 140 and maintain for awhile, see if I'm happy there.

Thanks for looking!

    our body types look pretty similar! Good for you! Lucky you got to keep your boobs! I still have my belly to work off and am really worried it might not come off! Great job getting into shape so soon after having babies! I waited 18 months after my second to start and that is my only regret that I didn't start sooner! My goal is now 135, let's get down there together! AGAIN- GREAT JOB!!!!

    Wow you look great! Congrats and I feel so proud even though I don't know you. I have a bunch of weight to lose after having my son almost two years ago. I can't wait to have an after pic. Add me if you like, I'm trying to get serious about my weight loss and have 92 lbs to lose, kind of scary. Congrats again!

    I'm still nursing my son so that's why they've stuck around I think lol But I've always had boobs so we'll see what they do when he's done nursing!!
