    Thank you all!!

    I realized when I became a mom that my children love me regardless of my size. I read an article while I was on maternity leave that has always stuck with me. It basically said that our kids don't see the flaws like you see them. They see you playing with them, being happy, always loving them...Even though I have always hid from photos of myself, I don't hide from photos with my kids.

    Now 125lbs lighter, my outlook on life is to better myself to see them grow up happy and healthy.

    You give me strength! You look fantastic and a blessing to your children. My baby will be 2 months old soon and his pregnancy left me at 220lbs and I am a short person. I have started doing hot yoga and eating healthier and like you, I hope I can loose the weight to regain energy and feel my best. This app and your shared experience are helping me tremendously.:-)

    these kiddos of mine are my total inspiration. I truly feel like they have saved my life. I struggled with infertility for a while and then were blessed with boy/girl twins. Healthy, happy, loads of fun. It's a blessed life.

    Love this........what I love the most is that you have taken it off over a longer period of time. 67.5 lbs per year is such a healthy way to drop the weight, and still fast enough to keep your self motivated and keep the momentum going. Your looking great, and no doubt are much healthier.....way to go and keep it up.

    Thank you all.

    It's been hard but not nearly as hard as worrying about diabetes or a heart attack at an early age. The biggest downside that I hoped wouldn't happen is a large amount of excess skin. It will probably have to be surgically removed. Mostly my arms and stomach.
