I haven't been posting at the boards much lately- I got a second job so I'm now working 7 days a week (56 hours total) and I also have two small children so... busy. Busy busy busy.

I'm pretty excited though because, as of today, I weighed 131.6 pounds! Less than 2 pounds away from being out of the 130's (my next goal) and 6.6 pounds away from my ULTIMATE goal of 125 pounds, which is what I was before I had children....

Anyways, some befores and afters for you:

This is me a my heaviest, about 184 pounds, just after having my second baby:

A few months later, maybe five or ten pounds down:

This is not even me at my heaviest ... I'm about 170 something there, or something like that:

This is me at about 153, soon after I discovered MFP:

And.......


(Drumroll)

This is me now:

The full-body shot makes me look bigger than I am because my clothing is baggy. Nothing fits me properly anymore!!!

I just had to share this with you guys. Just because I'm not posting much doesn't mean I'm not working hard! Plug along, it doesn't happen over night- but you WILL lose the weight! Stay focused!

    Thanks so much guys!

    Karen- I'm 5'6", with a slim build.

    Thanks :) I was only wondering because our start weights are similar. My goal is 140 but I am 5'8" and I carry my weight pretty evenly. YOU LOOK TERRIFIC!
