1 Year on MFP Anniversary Results Reveal! Pic Heavy!

August 7, 2010 I made a promise to myself to change my life. My 4th daughter (I also have a son) was born exactly 1 month earlier on July 7, 2010 and I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.
I am 5' 7" and weighed 196 lbs when I last got pregnant. I gave birth weighing 217 lbs. A month after her birth, I weighed 186 lbs and joined MFP.
Despite numerous challenges, (5 children including 4 from my body and 1 stepdaughter, hypothyroidism, 3 knee surgeries, undergoing years of hormonal fertility treatments, depression, PCOS, & being in Graduate school) I made a vow that I would NOT give up this time, no matter what. And I didn't.
This is the first selfish thing I have ever done for myself. During all of those hard work outs and times when I wanted to quit (and there were many) I would repeat these lines from Christina Aguilera's Fighter.
I am a fighter.
I ain't gonna stop.
There is no turning back.
I've had enough!
Here is a link to my blog posts about how I did it and my exercise routine.

Thank you MFP and my amazing support group for being there for me as I took back control of my life. My children will now have a happy and healthy mama for many more years!
I can't wait to see where the next year takes me as I keep improving on my fitness!
