My before and during pics, so nervous to post these!

I’ve been holding off on posting these simply because I am still a work in progress. I’m not 100% happy yet with where I am but I do know that all my hard work is paying off and I don’t have much farther to go. I've lost 14lbs so far, 10lbs from my goal but I've stopped caring about what the scale tells me. I use my clothes, measuring tape and pics to judge my progress. I plan to start lifting within the next month when my gym membership kicks in.

Here are my stats and a little info about myself and my journey. I’m 5’ even and was always skinny~fat (small and thin but weak) until I had my two awesome kids!! I lost the baby weight pretty quickly both times and did not have any issues with my weight until we moved to Ohio from Florida and I started getting bored in the winter. I’ve always made healthy meals for my family but I slowly started eating more and more junk. I wasn’t really honest with myself about how horrible I felt about how I looked until now. The difference in my attitude is night and day. I’m definitely still nervous posting these but if it gives just one person the motivation to keep going it is worth it!

I also want to thank all of my amazing MFP friends who have given me motivation, great information, inspiration and most of all support and a good butt kicking those few times I didn't want to work out. I could not have done this without all of you

I’ve busted my *kitten* to get here and I hope I can finally post my “after” pics very soon

My calories are set at 1200 a day, I completed Insanity in December and now my workouts consist of Insanity, 30 Day Shred and running (when weather allows)! Sometimes I eat back my exercise calories but most often I only eat back half. I have really tried to stick to “I only eat when I am hungry” motto and I’m pretty happy with my results so far.

Here goes, please ignore the messy before pics, I workout in our basement/laundry room/unused furniture catch all/kids toy storage ect….I think you get the point!
