****a couple of pictures are in my underwear, just so you're forewarned.

I'm Kelly, I'm 28 years old, a mother of two (8 year old and 4 year old) and I have been married for nine years. :)

I started this journey weighing 230 pounds and now I weigh 140 pounds. I've accepted that I'm "done" losing weight - but now, I'm focusing on gaining muscle. I won't tell you that any one way is a perfect way to lose weight and get in shape. I'm not an expert, a personal trainer, nor a doctor, so I will say this: find your own way. I was my own obstacle for the longest time and when I finally decided to stop being a victim of myself, I started seeing myself and life in a whole new way.

I will say my stomach isn't pretty in the pictures but it's getting better thanks to weight lifting and circuit training. I have two kids and I don't blame my body on my pregnancies with them. My body was my own doing, and I could have taken the initiative to take better care of myself during and after my pregnancies, but I didn't. But, that's in the past!

Starting weight: 230
Current: 140 (and I'm done. I don't plan to lose anymore. Now it's a matter of workin' on my muscles ;))

Waist one year ago: 36"
Waist today: 28"

Hips one year ago: 42"
Hips today: 35"

And on to the pictures.

My husband and I around the end of 2009. I was over 200 here and a size 18, but funny enough I have no idea how much exactly I weighed (hello denial!)

    You look amazing!!! I also have a tummy that I am less than thrilled with and I have the same opinion as you do; I had twins, but I can't even blame them for my stomach...I screwed it up way before them. Congrats on your amazing success!
