70 lbs down! 223 to 153! :)

tawalker791 · October 2016

I used to dream about posting on this board, and would cry while reading success stories because I really didn't think I could do it, but here I am! I started losing weight in January of 2014 right after I gave birth to my second baby, and am still working on it! I never really gained weight until I got pregnant with my first daughter, and I knew I had to get back to that once I had my second daughter and weighed 223 lbs. I set my calorie and macro goals, along with exercise and lost the first 30 or 40 lbs pretty quickly. I went back and forth a bit as far a losing and maintaining...and then January of 2016 I decided to go back hard at it, and have just reached my ultimate goal of 153 lbs, which is 70 lbs down! At this point I hadn't been going to the gym, pretty much only losing by eating right...between work and the kids I didn't have time to do much except walk on my treadmill. I got the opportunity a month ago to go to the gym 4 days a week, so I have begun strength training...I'm 4 weeks into a 12 week plan and I am excited to see how well it goes for me! Definitely happy about the weight loss, but I feel like a big flab so I definitely need to build muscle and tone up! Will update as I go along! If I can do it, anyone can do it!!!

I am exactly where you were. I just gave birth to my second daughter 6 weeks ago and am sitting at 226lbs. My goal is to get to the 150-160 range and seeing your transformation really gives me hope!
