in Success Stories
So here's a little bit of a story to go along with my pictures
Im a breastfeeding mom to a 14 month old boy
Everyone told me my weight would fall off with breastfeeding...he was 11 months
And I was actually 25 above the weight I was when I delivered him!
I ha already gained 55 during pregnancy and with the 25 afterwards
I needed to lose about 100 pounds!
So march 1st 2012 I made up my mind to work out and keep my eating clean and healthy
I counted calories and worked out 5 days a week
I ate a lot....1500-1600 and some days being a busy mom it was lower
But never intentionally! My goal is between 1500-1600
And I stuck to it...I didn't have Cheat days untill recently
Because I was strict and dedicated to change
Now that I'm closer to my goal I do on occasion cheat!
But jump right back on the next meal or next day!
I'm now 5 pounds away from pre pregnancy and 30 pounds away from
Where I was when I met my husband!
I usually get questions about my workouts so here's my secrets
I did the 30 day shred for 60 days!
Typically now I run 2 miles a day (4days)
And then 1 day a week I do insanity or any work out DVD or workout class
and I usually get questions about WHAT I eat
And I tell everyone it's DIFFERNT everyday
And I just eat healthy no special meals or anything!

So with my long into (sorry) here are my pictures!

    You look fantastic! I breastfed my son too, and lost 40 lbs in the first two weeks! Obviously, the weight crept back on after I stopped but everyone is different! Keep up the good work!

    Wow, that's inspiring. I'm somewhat new to myfitnesspal, but I love it. I love the tracking. Before I would have something terrible to eat and think I had to start over the next day. WIth 1500 calories that practically track themselves, this gives me a tool that really helps me see that I can start again the next meal.
    Great great job!!!
    I can't ever seem to get past the first ten pounds on any diet. I have low thyroid, but for the first time, I"m on meds and have lost ten pounds, but that's it. It seems with 130 pounds to lose, it would start faster. Any advice?
