    Ok, I had a baby 6 months ago and gained about 25 pounds overall, but then gained more weight after a trip to the UK in January (too much fish and chips and boozing) and I gained about 15 more pounds there. When I got back from the UK early January, I weighed myself and was shocked to see I was 150 pounds:noway: I have never weighed this in my life. So I had some work to do.. I joined MFP and started a learn to run program and lost 7 inches in a matter of a month. I joined a bootcamp a few weeks ago too.

    I have steadily been losing weight and inches and last night tried on my smallest pair of Rock and Republic Jeans AND THEY FIT! My hard work paid off and my clothes are proof of that. I still have a ways to go to get down to my goal weight, but I just wanted to share my story with you to show that we can all do this if we stick to it!!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:
