I'm a mom, and I was so tired of feeling overweight and just out of control of my own body.
I've been working hard since just before Christmas 2014. Now, almost 7 months later, I'm really proud to share my results. I'm down nearly 27 lbs, and I really couldn't be happier with the fruits of my labor!

I became a Zumba Instructor, and I'm on my way to becoming a personal trainer by October. I really enjoy motivating and helping other people to lose weight and get healthy.

    Wow congrats, you look great! If you don't mind me asking what's your height and original weight ? How many calories were you eating in total per day while losing weight and exercising?

    Thanks!
    I'm 5'4", and in November, I was about 155.
    During my weight-loss, I was eating between 1500 to 1800 a day, but I was also nursing still, so I definitely needed extra calories.

    Since you were still nursing were you able subtract those calories out or did you just compensate with your additional calories and not add or subtract from the count?

    I added extra. I used the 21 Day Fix meal plan and increased the calorie bracket.
