in Success Stories
I started my MFP weight loss journey during the first week of December 2011. I have spent most of my life overweight, with a brief skinny period/ struggle with eating disorder in high school. After marrying the love of my life and having three big, beautiful babies (all 8.5lbs and up), I found myself struggling more with my weight than ever before. *Reminder* If you are pregnant and someone tells you that you should eat more because you are eating for two..... kick them right in the knee.... it is bs! My eldest daughter is now 4, and my youngest son is now 15 months, and I am starting to feel like myself again. I have lost a little over 40 pounds (including pre- MFP weight loss), and I feel amazing, it has made me happier and 100% more confident. I am healthy. I eat as much whole foods as I can, and I work out 3-5 days per week. I am up to 1350 calories/ per day, and I eat 50% of my exercise calories back. I am training for my first 5K, and it is a wonderful feeling to be able to run! I didn't set out to be a rail or super- skinny, I just wanted to feel comfortable with myself. I am not completely done losing, and I have more toning and work to do, but I am skinnier now than I have ever been in my adult life. I feel happy, healthy, confident, energetic and sexy!!!!!! PS... I hope that my pics work!!!!

    That's really great! You're looking really fantastic weight wise, but I have to say you have stunning eyes and the face of a model. You know how when we're overweight we sometimes get, "But you have such a pretty face!".....in your case there would have to be millions of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after that statement. Congrats on getting into the bikini!
