Hey everyone!! Its really excited to finally be able to reach my goal. I have reached many goals in life but this is one of the best by far. I am a mother of two beautiful kids! My son who was just born this past march! I finally decided to get my butt up and moving for myself and to surprise my husband when he gets back from Afghanistan in 2013! I have lost a total of 27 pounds! I know everyone says this but If I can do it you can do it! I finally got my wedding dress and to my surprise I fit into a size 6!!! I hope I can give people the motivation they need as other people on here have for me when I saw there before and after pictures! Thanks for looking!

BTW sorry if the pictures are too big! I thought I resized them correctly!

BEFORE! 166+ ( I could have weighed more just never wanted to weigh myself)

    I did Chalean Xtreme, 30 Day Shred, Insanity, Turbo Fire, pretty much a little bit of everything but my main program was Chalean Xtreme. I also ate about 1500 calories per day sometimes I ate back my work out calories sometimes I did not.

    Nice job, I get started, but then lose motivation, how do you keep going without getting discouraged?

    Even when I have my bad days I just pick back up and keep going. It can be hard to stay motivated especially if you only look at the scale. Taking measurements and seeing pictures of myself is what kept me going because it showed me results even when the scale did not want to! Staying positive is a must I always tried to find the positive in things. There are many things in your journey that can keep you from getting discouraged just set mini goals within your main goal to keep yourself going.
