    Thanks for the kind words. Living in the moment I hadn't realized how much of a change I have had. I mean I know the weight has come off, but I think (as most of you know), I lived over weight for so long that I will or at least for a long time still see myself in that overweight body. Slowly it is getting better, but still hard (A FIRST WORLD PROBLEM I AM THANKFUL TO HAVE).

    For those that asked about skin. I have been truly lucky and have minimal. I attribute that to slow dieting. Nothing over a 1 lb a week or so, also lifting I swear has been a major part of that.

    I do have a son. The day I had him July 30, 2010 I weighed 300lbs (prior to getting pregnant I was heavier than that, but never looked at a scale).

    I got down to 225 by July 2012 by just being super busy with mom life and work. July 2012 I started to actively lose weight. This is where I was at that point. I started a MFP and stuck to no less than 1650 calories a day. I ate mainly carbs too (so I don't buy into that low carb bs haha). By April 2013 I was down to 148, but skinny fat. Picked up a cardio addiction, but on weight. Started lifting summer of 2013. I saw muscle gain. but wasn't eating enough and plateaued. Last January, I cut out cardio, lifted, and stuck to macros. And that is what lead me to here. :)1b99vux19914.jpg

    Jeez girl! You look amazing and, most importantly, HEALTHY. I've got over 150 pounds to lose and it's great knowing that I don't have to kill myself doing cardio to reach my health and fitness goals.

    Amazing, just amazing. Stories and pictures like yours motivated me (cept from a male perspective).

    Did a switch go on this time for you? For many of us, we are yo-yo's and are quick to give up.

    Fantastic job, especially as you haven't had much loose skin as a lot of women need expensive surgery after all their hard work.

    I think its probably down to a case of slow weight gradually over a few years and slow patient gradual weight loss. The muscular gains would help somewhat too

    Wow, this is very inspiring, and for so many reasons:

    1. You got extreme results without an extreme diet/fitness plan.
    2. You lost so much weight.
    3. You are a mom.
    4. You were at that age where weight loss "is so hard."
    5. You lost so much weight without going low carb (so MFP controversial).
    6. You recognize but don't whine about your issues because you know how blessed you are to have these problems.
    7. Those abs give us real hope.

    Well done and thank you.
