They always say "A picture is worth a thousand words" and boy is this right!!! It's so easy to get discouraged, and not be patient with ourselves.
I remember this picture on the left. I was about 2 months postpartum with my son and the scale wasn't budging. GRRRR!!!! I would obsess over every little single little thing I ate and then binge eat when I would get so frustrated. I was so uncomfortable and embarrassed. Since this picture I have lost a total of 70 lbs, and since I have started coaching in Feb 2014 I have lost 20 lbs and have maintained the loss. Most importantly though I have learned to love myself and the process of getting, and being healthy. This is a marathon and not a sprint! Be patient with yourself, and take one day at a time.

    You sound exactly like me. I obsess over every little thing I put in my mouth, and then only to fail over and over and then binge. I am slowly learning not to obsess but to be aware of what I ingest. I am still a long ways away from looking like you (though I may never have an awesome stomach like you, my boys made sure of that!) Well done and you look so Incredible. What is your weight, age, height? I am very curious!

    I started with the 21 Day Fix program. Then I went onto 21 Day Fix Extreme and now Body Beast!

    Thank you! I am same, never thought it would be possible. I had 2 c sections, still work in progress but I am seeing some change! It all comes from 21 Day Fix program. My body responded so well to the fix eating plan. It leaves out all the guessing. No counting calories. No tracking macros. If you eat your colors, you're on track! I weigh 134lbs, 32 years old and I am 5'5.
