I'm so proud of myself
A little bit about my journey
I hade a baby July 2014
I gained 70 pounds
I was 136 pounds before baby
In two months I lost all my baby weight but all from the wrong places I felt ugly but I did not give up on myself I hade people judge me because of my diet and workout they tried to bring me down they called me crazy for waking up early and working out at 5 in the morning
I just want to tell y'all there's always someone negative trying to stop you from your goal but don't leet them bring you down !!! You have to believe in yourself they call you crazy say yes I am crazy but watch me achieve my goal with my craziness. I am not perfect I have stretch marks all over my belly I hade my ups and downs in my journey were I couldn't do it I didn't have someone to motivate me ,a workout parter or a gym I worked with what I hade if there was no money for good diet food guess what I ate what we hade I know I'm not the only one that can't afford organic ?!!? One day :) dow.... I was thinking really hard if I should put my before after picture I'm 8 months postpartum there is no photoshop yes I have streachmarks sorry if I'm showing to much I'm just really proud of meee Yai mee :D

    You are awesome! I too am 8 months postpartum but I JUST started back on track. I managed to gain weight after having the baby, go figure. I applaud you because it definitely is not easy. Your craziness created sexiness so you are all good B)

    1st and foremost CONGRATS on the baby and losing the weight. And second, OMG the second picture there is a HUGE difference in the amount of stretch marks that are showing...These pictures gives me the encouragement i needed. Not to be rude (I really hope you do not take offense) but Is there any alteration to the second picture cause I barely see any stretch marks?

    Good job! I have four kids and don't look like I've had one! It can be done! Love seeing other moms going after it and not letting babies hold them back!

    That's amazing! Your not crazy you are dedicated! People will always be negative when they see someone trying where they would rather not. Btw your booty looks good too (no homo)

    I find the people that question you are the same ones that will ask how you did later. It's their own insecurity. I brush it off and keep moving. You look great!

    You look great! Good job! Being married to a surgeon, we can absolutely afford organic...but intentionally do not purchase it. I refuse to pay more for items that are nutritionally the same as conventional items, but are deceptively marketed and leave people feeling guilty if they can't afford them. So, all that to say, don't feel bad. Keep doing what you're doing. :)

    I too have a 9 month old, and was getting to my ultimate body shape to find I'm pregnant again. I'm so happy, but so scared that I may never have the body I once have. You are proof to me that I can with determination. Thank you and congrats! Will you add me as a friend for motivation?

    I'm so glad that I can help a little :))))

    In the beginning I was so focus on loosing weight that when I lost all my baby weight I looked like a jello haha then I learned it don't matter how much you weight , you have to workout to get the way you want your body to look I hope to see your before after picture soon
