    Dear M1311, yes I learned the hard way that those in my family I needed the most when my little brother died weren't really there for me as a matter of fact they were down right mean, calling me a bad mom, calling my life pathetic telling me I was ugly inside and out and throwing every thing they could at me. It crushed me. I cried for days on end till I fell asleep. I would lay in bed and hear my girls giggling in the living room with my husband that's when I decided not to let people who have done so little for me control my happiness. Sometimes my days at the gym were spent crying in the stalls but I still made myself go. I'm glad today that I am on this path.=) My husband is also my hero but no matter what he did I was still and still am crying at night. Going to the gym was my alternative to taking anti-depressants and I'm glad I decided GYM=) Take care=)

    as another mom i can say this is very inspirational. also, you look gorgeous!

    yes, I too looked for the success stories for moms. I just took it one step at a time and kept my eyes in front, I never looked back unless it was for good memories or to learn from mistakes. I know you will get there one day, tell yourself that then start making little challenges for yourself=). Have a wonderful Christmas and New year=)

    Wow 90lbs lost!! Way to go!! Yes taking charge so my girls can learn to be strong, so they can deal with tragedy when if it one day strikes them. As for the people that kicked me while I was down, my girls are going to realize in the future their Mommy can still love those that are being mean but keep a safe distance so that my family and I are safe from all the negativity. The best revenge is my own success in my health and my family's health, in life and love in babies hearts.

    Amazing job! You look wonderful. I am sorry that you've experienced such a loss x 3 :( Reading your post, especially about your little brother, really struck me as I have four little brothers myself, all a lot younger than me. I admire your strength to rise above and take charge of your health and your whole self. You're a beautiful woman inside and out - great job!

    Congrats! If you don.t mind me asking, how many calories are you eating? And your spinning class is for how long?thanks

    Not at all, I am at the 1200 mark but I spin a full hour mostly, give or take 20 min. sometimes they have to call me out because my baby is crying. But on average I burn about 500 to 600 calories a day, and I usually eat around 1600 calories because I do eat some of my exercise calories back. When I don't work out on the weekends I just make sure to stay within the 1200 range. Oh and I quit drinking it only made me feel more depressed about the deaths and the family drama. Oh and I don't drink pop at all, not even diet I just don't like it. So it wasn't hard for me to give it up. =) Hope that helps.
