All my life I have been "chubby". My higest was when I was pregnant with my first and got up to 220 pounds. Iam 5'6" and usually hovered around the 160 mark. February of this year I decided it was time to make a change and got yet another gym membership. I started February 6 at 163 pounds. I started out doing a bit of weights and a lot of cardio now it is the other way around. Exactly 6 months later and I weigh 114 pounds and am fit. I have lots of energy and feel great and can keep up with my small kids. I never thought I would get to my goal. Iam proud of myself.

    114 pounds is at the lower end of a healthy weight for my height, I was told by my doctor.....and I am actually 5'5.5'' but I like to round up ;)
    I make sure to make time, my gym has a daycare and my husband stays home with them when he is here since he works in a different province. I love the feedback, you are all awesome! :)

    Way to go! I'm at 154lbs right now and hoping to lose another 25 at least. Just taking it one pound and inch at a time!

    You look amazing. I'm trying to loose the last 15lbs from my second pregnancy. It's soo hard especially while nursing. How many calories were you eating?

    You will get there! Iam still nursing our youngest but only at night before bed and in the morning. I eat 1200 calories a day- it is all clean. Lots of chicken, fruits, vegetables and protien powder. I only do 10-15 minutes of cardio a day- I like the rowing machine. And another 30 minutes of light weights.
