Mother of 5 / 67lbs lost!

I am the mother of 5 children ages 2-10. A year and a half ago, my body was something that I was uncomfortable with. I lacked energy to play with my children, could not take the stairs at work, and had no concern for what or how much I ate. 6 months after my youngest child was born, I found myself 15lbs bigger than I was on the day that I delivered! I knew it was time. With the help of Insanity, Shakeology, healthy eating habits, and healthy exercise habits, I was able to go from a size 14 to a size 0/2 and 196lbs to 129lbs! Of course, I still strive for more and have new goals, while they are no longer weight loss goals. I am always looking for new friends for support and motivation. I am a certified personal trainer (have been since 2005, but fell off the wagon with three births in three years!)! Friend me if interested!

    Good for you! You look amazing!

    Is that a Smith machine you are using in your profile pic? I'm asking because I have access to one, but not a power rack and I was a bit sad because I wanted to do SL. If it is, do you do a program or do your own lifts?

    Thanks! I would love to learn different lifts I can do similar to the SL 5x5 program.

    Actually I'm not currently selling any BB products due to family health issues (hence me being absent from MFP for the last 2 months) But do love the smith machine and love encouraging others!

    Thank you ladies! Honestly, if I can motivate one person to think "if she can do it, so can I" then it's worth it. Once I was at my largest I kept looking at people and thinking "They did it, why can't I?" but couldn't get my motivation until it finally clicked in my mind one day. And while I don't do programs anymore, I do hit the gym every day and eat a healthy meal plan, and know that I'll never be "perfect" in my mind but we don't have to be.. Thanks again!
