Who knew I would be down almost 20 pounds and upset that it wasn't enough. So I decided I would make a post to celebrate the almost 20 lbs instead of wallow in it. Ha ha. The first picture is when I first started working out roughly 10 months ago. Sometimes I would work out 6 times a week,sometimes none. It would usually go in spurts. I would be good for a couple of weeks then I wouldn't work out at all for a few weeks. Then roughly in March/April I started counting calories. That's when I lost the most weight. Since then I go in spurts about counting my calories as well. My current workout right now is Zumba, which might I add is awesome. I am hoping to get back into insanity since I had started the 4th week when I stopped. Anyways, the first picture set I was 205 now 188. Oh yeah and I'm very self conscious of this but I thought what the hell.

    You have done amazing!!! Keep up the hard work. You're definitely bringing sexy back. I'm also on the shy side as far as sharing before and after pictures, but once I lose a few more pounds. I'm hoping on posting mine here.

    First off: Congrats on the weight loss.

    Second: It's scary for everyone to post before/progress pics so extra points to you for being brave.

    Third: some friendly advice: Do whatever fits you, and then do it 100%.

    Good luck on your journey!

    That is awesome. Thanks for putting the pictures on!!!! I am so tired of seeing all these people on work out programs and they are thin and I want to see real people the same size as me and people I am surrounded with. You will motivate so many people who are struggling to lose weight. I hope that you will repost more pictures in the weeks to come so you can keep myself and others motivated to keep on going and to not give up. Thanks
