edited November 12 in Success Stories
Ok so here is a little background. I had a baby August 27, 2011. I was 180lbs at that time. I dropped 20lbs in the first couple months post partum with no effort. This was just the pregnancy weight, water retention all the stuff that I guess magically disappears after having a baby, lol. I was also nursing so that could have helped. I stayed steady at 160lbs and knew that number wasnt going down if I did not put in some work. I decided after the New Year would be an ideal time for me to start my weight loss journey. Seeing myself in Christmas photos was not enjoyable. So I joined Myfitnesspal and started putting in work on Jan 3rd 2012. I have my good days and my bad days but I never give up. I am SO excited to be halfway to my goal! I love reading the success stories and seeing everyones pictures so I thought I would add my own. See how my back fat just disappeared, that is my favorite thing in the pictures, lol. I will be starting Jillian Michaels Body Revolution tomorrow to help get to my goal. I am aiming for mid May and then its maintain, maintain, maintain! Thanks for looking and good luck to everyone on their journey!!!

    Yay go you! and in about 2 months--AWESOME!

    Side note--did you breastfeed? My mom told me that when she breastfed she lost all her baby weight quickly.

    You can really see the difference on your back! Did you do anything specific to get rid of your back fat or did it just naturally occur? Either way, you look fantastic.

    Thank you! I didn't work specifically on my back. The rolls just started going away as I lost weight :)

    Well I'm glad you couldn't see it but I definitely have cellulite! It is getting better as the weight comes off. We will see how it is once I'm at my goal. You look totally fabulous by the way! :)
