Motivate Me, Before and Afters

OK, here are my progressions pictures.

I have 6 kids. I gained 50-60lbs per baby. My last four babies were 9 - 9.5lbs.

I lost weight with the first 5 easily. The last child, I could not get the weight off. I thought because I was 40, that I was doomed to have a fat mid sections and flabby arms and legs.

A year after working out and eating correctly, I am down to a size 2 or 4 (depends on clothes) and i weigh 128-130 (depends on the day)

My cardio is amazing...I do not get tired and I feel great!!!



Looks like picture is not working, I will try to repost later.

wow, u look amazing!:)

You all inspire me. These pictures are amazing. I just started this long hard journey, hopefully one day, I will have amazing pictures to post as well. Thank you everyone!!!

^ 170 last week

wow good job!!! you must be tall if you looking that lean at 170...

im 5'9 1/2 / 5'10 but I havent lost more than 5 pounds in almost 2 years- but ive dropped about 4 sizes and countless inches- im pretty sure i have a lower bf% than I realise- esp for someone, like you say, at this ungodly weight

I am 5'9" too and I am stuck at 184 right now my goal is 155 but it seems so far away what is or was your goal weight?

OK...trying it again. Looks like it was huge, then edited it, and I am just not sure if it is working. But, I do want to post it for other moms...that we may not pre-baby bodies, but we can work hard and get a great post-baby/babies body!

Hope you don't mind-- fixed the link for ya-- and, nice work by the way!

Thanks...What was wrong with it?

great job everybody!

Could you also post what routine you did to get to where you are?

You look great! What do you do? :happy:

great job everybody!

Could you also post what routine you did to get to where you are?

This is what I did. I joined the gym, did Zumba 2x per week and lifted weights 3X/week. I did heavier weights lower reps (machines too) because I knew that I had a lot of flab.

After 4 months, they needed a Zumba teacher. I took her job and started to teach 4X/week. Started losing the weight, but noticed butt was sliding down my legs.

SO, in my routines, I add a lot of moves that build our quads, hamstrings, glutes, arms, shoulders, abs....so we dance for a couple of 8 counts, then we will be in a squat position to build muscle.

Now, all I do is my class 8X/week because my class combines cardio and strength training. The last 2 months, I now eat 35/35/30 (isocaloric diet) Protein/carbs/fat. I also cheat on Fridays...so today, I get to eat what I want. This keeps my sanity!!!


I also want to help my other moms see that with the right diet and a kick butt workout (1 hour) they can achieve a good goal. As a mom to 6 kids, I can not spend 2-3 hours/day in a gym.


I also just increased calories to 1900 (before exercise)

Amazing!
