I lost a Backstreet Boy!

I've really wanted to say that for a while! But now, I think I can.

Back in October 2010, I hit my heaviest and most unhappy weight...355lbs. My first daughter was 6 months old and I knew I needed change. A BIG one. I began eating healthy and exercising regularly, starting slowly. It wasn't until after the birth of my second daughter in January 2012 that I was able to really kick my own a*s into high gear. With the help of some incredible trainers, a few amazing gyms, Adam Von Rothfelder who to this day has been such inspirational and motivating friend...I can say...I have lost a Backstreet Boy! (okay maybe it was their weight in the 90's but still.)

On the left my heaviest 355lbs. On the right, my current as of a few days ago, I flop between we'll say 180-190. My next goal is to lose another 30-40 pounds and I'd love to hit around 16% body fat. I'll probably alter as I go, as I have before.

Don't give up loves. Find what drives you and move!

    Omg, it is the hardest thing trying to change my lifestyle by eating right regularly and exercising. There are so many times where I become demotivated or simply apathetic and am on the verge of giving up or begin sabotaging what I've put into myself. But seeing stuff like this really motivates me to do well by myself because it can happen. Right now, I am at my biggest and that's about 250 lbs, I didn't start gaining until I graduated high school (which I had no job and didn't go to college, so that was a given).

    I hope I can enjoy what you have accomplished!

    I love seeing those before and after pics of you! You were beautiful before and you are beautiful now! :)
    Good luck on your future endeavors!

    A boy band from the mid 90's. Backstreet Boy sounded better than a New Kid On The Block. Just implying I lost the weight of a whole other person.

    Thanks! Now I get to tone up and build muscle. :-D
