Hi everyone!! I am Kim and I am a wife, mommy to one adorable 15 month old boy, and full time computer teacher at a private school in south-eastern Virginia.

I have been on a fitness journey since 2007 when I tipped the scale at 410 pounds at my engagement party. I lost weight before my wedding, but my husband was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer 9 months after our wedding. After his surgery, he went into shock and sepsis and was in the ICU fighting for his life for 2 weeks. After his month long stay in the hospital, we had 6 months of chemo to deal with (thank God he is in remission now - it will be 4 years since his diagnosis this April). During that time, I was eating EVERYTHING in sight and none of it was healthy so I got back up to 375 pounds. I lost that, and then we started trying to get pregnant. I have PCOS so we had to undergo fertility treatments to get pregnant (which caused me to gain about 30 pounds) and I then gained 44 pounds during my pregnancy. I gave birth to my son at 369 pounds and am a bit more than 110 pounds down from that weight today.

I want to be healthy to be here with my son and husband for a long time. I love running, weight lifting, and swimming. I was a competitive swimmer from the time I was 6 until I was 18, and have a lot of muscle strength (can leg press literally 1000 pounds for 3 sets of 6).

I have adopted a "vegan-lite" style of eating for the past year or so (no dairy, no red meat, no poultry, only fish and eggs from animals, very limited processed food (only special occasions really), lots of fruits and veggies).

Good Morning everyone, my name is Ashley. I'm a mother of 2 sons (3 and 13) and have 2 step daughters (9 & 13). I work full-time and am also attending school at Tulane University. My husband and i have a very busy schedule so working out time is limited. I was going to the gym everyday at lunch but it just didn't feel like I was getting the best owrkout possible and I was always on serious time onstraints.

I have started the Insanity videos and am starting my 2nd month. While I'm not losing inches really or any pounds - - I can certainly see a difference in muscle tone. I really enjoy the videos and they certainly keep you motivated. I have received the point that if I miss a day of working out - I have let myself down. That's a great feeling to have when you're on a missing to find a more perfect "you".

I have reduced my caloric intake and have been trying to watch what I eat. I allow myself a cheat day or two on the weekends; however, I still don't overdo it as I once did. My goal is to stay motivated and look better in a bathing suit this summer than i have the best few!!!

Hi. I am Rebecca and I am a wife and a mom to 4 children 3, 9, 17, 18 and just started a new website/blog called Slim Fitness Moms. I work part time and I am also a fitness coach.
I started my health and fitness journey after my 4th child. I just was unhappy and tired and weighed the most I ever had and knew I needed to change. If you would like to read more about my journey on my blog. Check it out at www.slimfitnessmoms.com in the About me section
My soulmate workout is Insanity and currently I try to eat clean and I don't do any "diets". Just watch what I eat as best I can.
I am currently doing a squat challenge and also will be starting the 21 day Fix on March 10th. If anyone wants to join me all the details are at http://slimfitnessmoms.com/21-day-fix-challenge/
So far I have a small group starting and can't wait to see the changes in 21 days!

I am working on my second 5 weeks of T25. I am interested to see/hear about your results with the 21 day fix. It makes sense to me the way it is set up, and it sounds like they make planning your meals much easier. Keep us updated with results!

Hi everyone, I'm 32 mom to two boys ages 5 and 10. Started this year at 133, down to 125 now. I just went from working full time (cooking) to being a stay at home mom. I was very active as a teenager, involved in twirling flag and baton, and walked everywhere or biked, then became more and more sedentary as an adult. I started exercising daily on jan.20th when I turned 32, I just decided I didn't like how I looked and I was going to change it. I started with a few basic yoga sets from pintrest, have added the 30 day yoga challenge, and Jillian Michaels 6 week six pack.

This is my first time ever counting calories and exercising daily, I had such a high metabolism when I was young that I assumed I would always be in good shape, it crept up on me and I was too lazy to do anything about it, plus I love food, I'm a grazer and I love sweets, working in a bakery for 3 years didn't help either, but I've been doing fantastic now that I'm logging everything! (Although my fat and sugar are still over most days)

I'm also working on getting better at cardio, I have asthma and just got on a controller medication, before that I could do 20 jumping jacks and I would go into an asthma attack (or anything that brought the heart rate up, really) I log daily so far, tomorrow marks 2 weeks for me, and all my exercise is home-based I live in very rural Tennessee, and I've never been inside a gym.

I have two baby boys (2 1/2 and three weeks) and my other two (my husband and my mastiff). I'm trying to lose the baby weight and some extra poundage I was carrying. Doing c25k again as an easy intro into exercise and plan on doing yoga along with the 30 day shred towards the end of next month. Ideally I'm also going to start belly dance classes soon.

Im also vegan. Made the transition 5months ago after being vegetarian for about 6 years, so I love cooking. My husband and first born are meat eaters, so its pretty common to see me make two meals for the house. I was chubby in highschool, and i worked get hard to lose weight. Now I'd like to reclaim that body!

Jade, that was exactly my story! Needed more than running to get my butt into shape, plus having 2 little ones means no more jog stroller… . I do miss the free feeling of running with my mutt though.

Wow Kim, what a journey you have been on! Congratulations on the baby and the weight loss! I hope your husband is much better now!

Thanks!! it has been a journey for sure but I think that I am a better person for it. Thankfully my husband is in remission and the doctors seem to think that he will be cancer free for a long time to come
