edited September 30 in Success Stories
I have lost 30 lbs in the last year and the lowest weight I have been since I came home from college. Before I had my first son I was around 150 lbs, gained 50 lbs when I pregnant, and it took over a year to get back down to 150. I then became pregnant again and only gained 30 lbs, and lost 15 lbs after I had him. I started my weight loss journey at 165, the breaking point:

- I picked up Insanity, got through 1 month, quit. Then i tried P90X, got through 1 month, and quit again. I did Weight Watchers and stayed active, which helped me lose about 13 lbs.

In October I realized I needed to make a change so I picked up P90X again - and stuck with it! I lost 10 lbs, here are my results:

I did a second round of P90X and included Insanity. A couple lbs loss, but more definition which is what I was going for.

I'm currently fluctuating between 135 and 140. I joined a gym and take classes regularly - working out with people is fun! I am studying to become a certified gym instructor, because I love fitness and I love helping people. I plan on starting P90X2 when its released in the fall.

Here is my final before/after (dont worry about the silly faces):

    Very nice job!!! You look awesome... I just wish I could pick up and actually do P90X but cant due to chronic issues from an injury. But you are an inspiration and should be proud of yourself.
