I lost 28 lbs in 6 months!

Before I made the commitment to my own health in September 2012, I was overweight, insecure, and ashamed of my body and the way it looked after having my son. Prior to having my son, I had been an athlete my whole life, whether I was playing fast-pitch softball, volleyball, competitive cheerleading or dance. I was a very active person and I was also working full time, but I ate whatever I wanted and drank a lot. I weighed what I wanted, but I had no energy and no muscle. I gained 63 lbs during my pregnancy because I over-indulged, gave into all my cravings and never exercised. I regret all those things because now I don’t have one picture of myself during my pregnancy. I refused to take pictures because I was embarrassed of how I looked and that I gained so much weight.

The first year after my son was born I really struggled to shred those lbs. I tried a few fad diets- I would lose the water weight then gain it all back a few weeks later. Nothing was working and I gave up for a while. I was introduced to BeachBody in 2011 and I tried a few days of P90X but I couldn’t do it and I gave up. Then September 2012, I started going to the gym and doing my best to log everything I put into my mouth. It was in September when I met my dear friend and coach, Andrea on My Fitness Pal and she introduced me to her team Third Dimension Fitness. This team lifted me up when I was down, pushed me through some rough days and applauded me when I posted my Flex Friday pictures. The motivation and encouragement from my team and coaches helped me push through. Before the year 2012 was over, I had ran a 10k and a 12k, I lost 23 lbs and went from a size 8 to a size 4, my pre-pregnancy size! I couldn’t believe it— I had finally put forth the effort and all my hard work paid off. I couldn’t even run a mile straight without stopping. Then I set realistic short terms goals and crushed them!
