I am 27 years old, 5'3, and I've had 4 kids in 5 years. (3 natural births, 1 c-section, and birth weights ranging from 7lbs3oz to 9lbs 1oz)
I started using MFP in September 2012, I have so far lost 49lbs. I have only 4lbs left til my final goal of 119lbs (though I do wonder if I'll get there given how slow my weightloss is now)
Most of the weightloss has simply been through tracking calories, though I have gone through phases of experimenting with intermittent fasting, and now I try to stick to 16:8 (where I eat all my calories in an 8-hour window every day)
I exercise several times a week, mostly cardio, though I want to start increasing my weight and resistance workouts to gain more definition.
I wasn't huge before I lost weight, but at 5'3, 172lbs put me in the obese category. Now I am a healthy weight at 123lbs.
My biggest regret is not taking proper Before pics, so this is the best I have:
(I have lost another 10ish pounds since this was taken)
These are all recent:

Wonderful! You rock!
Here is a proof that having children does not make it impossible to have a rocking body.
Up until few months ago, I believed that it was only possible for celebrity women with home gyms, personal chefs, trainers and nannies.0 -
Incredible transformation!!! Congrats on your achievements!!0

Fantastic! You give me hope as my story is similar to yours!
I'm 28, 5'4 and have had 6 pregnancies, 5 babies, all natural. My first was just 7lb 8 but the rest were between 8 1/2lb and 9lb 2oz (thankfully my youngest wasn't over 10lb as predicted but I was so enormous lol). I started my weight loss journey at 167lbs and now I'm down to 126lbs. I would like to try and get down to 117 and then focus more on the toning and firming as I still have the tummy overhang even though I've been working out.
Its great to see your success, you must be very proud of yourself. It really makes me feel like I can do this too.
Can I ask what workouts you were doing to get such great results?
Thanks for sharing!0 -
