My Work In Progress (pic heavy)

I started losing weight and being health conscience mid April of this year. 8 months later and these are my results 
This is me the day after I found out I was pregnant with my daughter (she is now 2.5).
This is me 9mths pregnant and weighing upward of 230lbs. I gained over 50lbs while pregnant (all 3 times) I never went about it in a "healthy" way, I just ate and ate and ate...It was OK, I was eating for 2. SMDH!!
It took over 2 yrs after I had my daughter for me to get my butt in gear and to decide that I wasn't going to live in that body any longer and that I was taking the control back. I had lost about 16lbs before it clicked that I should start taking progressive pictures.
A pic from July I had lost about 17lbs:
August:
September:
October: (my jeans are in the single digits - first time in over 11yrs)
November:
December:
I can't wait to find out what the new year has in store for me, I am excited for first time in a long time!!

Wow! You look fabulous! What an inspiration. We seem to have had identical pregnancy motto's! I am down by 8.5 lbs since joining, but was weighing about 210 lbs right after the birth of my daughter (also 2.5 ... and a 6 year old) and started MFP at 175 lbs.
I don't think my stomach skin will come back as nicely as yours appears to have. I hate my stomach now... ironically it was always my favorite body part!
Haven't taken too many pics of myself. Can't say I want the evidence!!! :ohwell:
Anyways, thanks for the inspiration. I was craving chocolate until I read your post and you stopped that craving right in it's tracks! How can I eat chocolate when I know that I cold look as good as you if I don't!!! Thank you! :happy:0 -

My belly is TORE up! It's so bad. I try to hide it as much as I can. I think a true test for me is when I won't be so embarrassed about my stomach. After 3 babies and a lot of weight gain...it's like a saggy stretched out road map...LOL
About the booty: I don't really post a bunch of booty pictures....lol But I am so dang proud of the fact that I have a booty now. And it looks pretty decent. I always had a flat and droopy booty, nothing to be proud of....at all.
As far as work outs go...I do a lot of squats, I spend any where from 30-50 mins on an Elliptical (tension: 10, incline: 45-100) I leg press 190lbs. I also use the weight machines, dumb bells, walk, run and ride my bike. I try to work out at least 5 times a week, doing something. I also enjoy yoga and just bouncing on my exercise ball.
**Thanks everyone!!** 0 -
