My journey began on January 13, 2013, and I officially reached goal on October 26, 2014. I can't even begin to put into words all the amazing things I've been able to accomplish over the past year and 10 months. I went from wearing a tight size 22 jeans to wearing a size 6, XXL shirts to mediums & the occasional small. I went from rarely getting off the couch to making sure I hit at the very minimum 10,000 steps per day. I went from struggling to walk up a flight of stairs to running numerous 5ks just because I think it's fun. I have proven that you don't have to eat "clean" and cut out all the delicious foods you crave to lose weight, my favorite food of all time is cake and I have yet to turn down a piece since starting my weight loss journey. If you want it bad enough and you put in the effort, you can accomplish the goals that you set for yourself. I'm proof. I had a baby five months ago and during my pregnancy I was determined to remain active and continue working towards my goals, nothing is impossible.

    You look FANTASTIC!!! That's awesome that you were able to jump right back into it after your pregnancy. My hubby and I are trying for a baby in December, and that's the thing I've been most worried about since I'm not yet at goal. Thank you so much for posting this!!!
