My sister-in-law took a photo the other day, and I begged her to never show anyone. But when she showed me, I was super surprised with what I saw. I was expecting wholeheartedly to see a repeat of my before... Except I saw something different.

I'm a mum to a 2.5year old, and I have just been eating clean 95% of the time, and working on the 30 Day Shred.

I had a c-section, so have been working hard to get rid of stomach fat more than anything. =)

Crazily, there's only a few kilos of difference here. But I'm short, so I guess it shows! So excited by what I saw!

PROGRESS




THIS IS NOT ME NOW... It's where I'm aiming to get back to by Christmas....

Can't wait to keep on keeping on. =)

And here's a picture of miss 2, just 'cause! She's worth it! (Between her and her daddy, I am smitten!)

    Ya' got this; you will, if you continue with what you are doing reach your goal. And, yes. I can see how you can be smitten with Miss 2. She's adorable!

    It's a visible difference, good job! Miss 2 is gorgeous, and I completely understand the idea of having a little person to keep you honest. My girls (twins) are 2.5, and their birthday is in December. I am sick of hiding behind them in pictures, and I want them to have pictures of them WITH their Mum. And of their Mum, looking well and happy.

    Keep up the good work. :-)

    Yes! My sister is on the same journey - she has twin girls born May 2013 (eight weeks younger than our little girl) and she is working hard to get to her goal weight. (She was a mini mini NZ size 6 before her girls. And weight in the very low 60's/late 50's, and is working down from 101kg. =) (Bigger full term! Those girls were born at 38 weeks and 7lb each!)
