The 'before' is me last year at about this time. I had my daughter a few months before, but this picture shows me after I lost all of the weight I gained with her pregnancy. (It fell off without much effort on my part.) I still had some old baby weight from my other two hanging around though:) It's taken me a whole year to lose 25 pounds, and I'm finally at a healthy BMI. I almost gave up more than once, but I've managed to keep going and I feel great. I've been on this site for 10 months now, and I know I would have given up if I didn't have the help and support and tools this website offers. I've just completed day 4 of the Insanity program and I am so excited to take another 'after' picture in 2 months!

Okay, let me see if I can figure out how to add a picture...

    Thanks! The shirts are not the exact same shirt (one is light pink and one is light purple), but same size, style and brand. Before I would only wear them as undershirts, but now I feel comfortable enough to wear them as regular shirts:)

    Awesome job Lisa!!!!! I am very proud of you! Also, I have been feeling rather discouraged as of late, to be honest. I saw your progress today, got off my butt, and went to Curves. And forgot that there was a Zumba class scheduled. So I did an hour of Zumba.

    Its marvellous the difference 25 lbs make. Congratulations. I only hope when I lose my remaining 20 lbs, that I will see such a difference and look as good as you do.
