Moms do not have to settle for less...pics

I am a mother of 5, and with each pregnancy I gained weight. Even if I didn't gain too much during the pregnancy, I focused so much on taking care of the baby and my family, that I was on the back burner. After my last baby, I knew I didn't want to say, "well, I'm a mom, so this is just how my body will look now". I refused. I put myself first and started myfitnesspal and making sure I had time to workout. The real change was when I ordered Turbofire from Beachbody. At first, I cried with the first workout, because it was so fast and I could hardly puff my way through it or follow the routines. But I didn't quit. After a few weeks I felt stronger and could do more. After a few more weeks I was powering through pushing myself and feeling great. The inches flew off like crazy and the lbs kept going down. Before I knew it, I hit my goal weight and lost over 11 inches off my waist. The first before and afters are at that point. I was so surprised about the muscles that formed from Turbofire. (Check out my back!)

I kept up the eating healthy and staying active and my weight continued to go down naturally. The last photo was of yesterday, and I officially lost 50 lbs total! I have exceeded my own dreams. I had "in your dreams" clothes in my closet in a box that I never thought I could fit into again. They fit, size 6, and not tight.

We don't have to settle, just because "we look good for having kids" (I always hated that). We can look good for just finding our natural healthy weight! Put yourself first, and you will be a better mother and wife that you want to be.
