    That's awesome! You look like a different person! And it's not fair how the thinner you get, the worse the post kids elephant skin tummy looks, is it?

    Transformation is fantastic, really, but the best part of it all is the look of confidence and happiness in that last photo. Well done.

    Thanks everyone!!!! :)

    To answer a couple of questions: I'm 5' 7". As far as what I did - I did C25K and lifted weights - free weights and machines. I love free weights, but weight machines can be a good place to start. I don't have a trainer, so I just made it up as I went along, asking friends for advice on what exercises to try. I also recommend reading New Rules of Lifting For Women. I haven't done any of the programs out there like Insanity or anything ---- yet. :)

    Now I run a lot - last Satruday I ran the Color Vibe with my kids, this weekend I have a 5K race, with a more lined up over the next few months. I'm planning to train to run a half marathon in September, so I've been increasing my distances (last weekend I did a 6.5 mile run). And I try to lift at least 2x a week. My problem now is trying to find a balance between my love of running and training for events, with wanting to lift more to increase my muscle definition and strength.

    Look at you!! Fabulous :) And honey, those stretchmarks are a a badge of honour. You got them by growing babies. What's more precious than that??

    Hi, I have been on MFP for about 2 weeks now - lurking in the forum. Your post is the first that has inspired me to say wow you look amazing. Well done. I am currently running at 184lbs and would ideally like to drop to 154. You just showed me that it is possible.

    I also have two kiddies, 3 years and 8 months...be proud of those stretch marks. You have earned them. You Look truly awesome and beautiful.

    Thank you for your post....time to read about weight lifting for women.

    Love & Light,
    Allana
