(I'm sorry if my pics don't come up at first or if I post the same picture 900 times.. This is my first time to post photos!)
I have always been active.. my entire life. I'm 5'4" and have always had what my sister calls a good, curvy shape. When I graduated high school, I went to college and played a year of softball. When I quit that, I kept running and stayed in decent shape, always lingering around 125-130 lbs, which I was completely OK with!
In 2009, I let myself slip, but it wasn't too bad; I got married in December weighing about 145 lbs. I decided I wanted to do something about it, and so I lost 10 lbs by May, when I graduated college. And then... I got pregnant. That's where the true journey began. I've heard of a LOT of women who enjoy being pregnant.. but I HATED it! I gained in my face so quickly. I'm pretty lucky I guess that I gained it all so evenly throughout my body, because I've lost it the same way.
So here it is: Pictures proving my weight loss journey really does exist! Not all the pictures have my weight on them because I couldn't remember how much I weighed during those times, but you can SEE the difference.
I still have 4 more lbs to lose.. but I'm so excited that I have lost all my baby weight plus another 5 lbs! Go ME!
Oh my word.. posting pics turned out a thousand times more complicated than I had anticipated!! lol
The bottom two pics of me are post-pregnancy-one in April and the last one is the most recent.. at 129 lbs! I had one up of me the day my son was born (175+ lbs!!), but it keeps cutting it off.. booo!

I want to see your journey! I think you have to lowercase the img tags 0 -
Change the upper case IMG to img.0

Looking good girl!! Honestly it was a wake up call to me after I had kids to get into better shape and be a hot mama (I am in the best shape of my life now at 34)! You're following the same path as I did. Good job!0

:happy: You look great! How did you lose from April so quickly? Running? And I think you look beautiful in your wedding dress at 145lbs. You def. wear it well. I'm 153 lbs. and 5'3". I've been 119 before after my first child but anxiety meds have made me pack on the weight! Thanks for the inspiration!0
