My journey began over a year go. In fact, it was last January 1st that I began on the road to changing my life. I had an amazing husband and two beautiful little girls, but I was not happy. I ate out of loneliness, I used food in an attempt to feed myself emotionally and at the same time I was in denial that was my weight creeping up and I was not healthy. I wanted to be healthy for my family and as a mom setting a good example for my daughters. So my journey began....

June 2010
205lbs and 42wks pregnant

During JE12WT sporting my new size 4 jeans... I started my journey wearing tight 12's! I used to cut the tags out of my clothing b/c I was in denial about my size. Not anymore!!

P90X complete, headed to the Bahamas!!! 136lbs (I am 5'5")

But I'm not done yet!! :D I'm currently doing a PUMP/Insanity hybrid & loving it. I'm still a work in progress as I strive to lose my last 8-10lbs to hit my goal weight and lower my body fat. That's been the hardest thing after having 2 babies, ditching fat!! Dare I say I am a mom of 2 and 33yrs old and possibly in the best shape of my life though. And this journey has been FUN!!!!!! If I hadn't started those first 90 days, which flew by.... If I didn't have the support of this MFP family.... If I didn't have my husband & kids cheering me on... then I wouldn't be where I am today. I wouldn't take back one second of this past 15 months. It has changed me as a wife, friend & mother. I have more to give b/c I have confidence in myself... and that's the BEST feeling in the world!

    Wow, you look great! You're a huge inspiration to me because I started at about the same weight you were. I'm down to 155 and am on the 4th week of the Burn phase of Chalean Extreme, and I love it so far!! My plan after I finish the 90 days is to do NROWLFW. I hope in the end I look as great as you do!
