I am a devoted mum of 1 (boy 7yrs old) and happily in love with my man. I have finally realized I can't call it baby weight anymore! After putting on over 30kgs with the pregnancy and having a 12" baby I thought it was too hard to get in shape, but I am going to prove myself wrong. Something clicked (when I saw the photo of me in the pink dress, I thought I looked pregnant) and I decided to do something about it for me and my family. I work fulltime and study at uni fulltime... SO ITS ALL GO GO GO here :-) I lacked energy, found it hard to play footy with my mad footy keen son, I felt frumpy and wanted to look and feel proud of myself...and didnt want to buy the next size in clothes which either needed to happen or I needed to get my butt into gear! My goal is to look better than I ever have!
CAN YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE... please check my photos...

Start of journey (pic with the pink dress in it)...

    Well, you're not doing us any favors by providing decent photographs, Dearie, but YES, I do see a marked difference. Your face is noticeably more angular, and your arms are clearly leaner. I really can't see any other parts of your body clearly enough in more than one photo to make a comparison, but I'd bet there's evidence elsewhere as well. You have lost a LOT of weight -- it shows!!

    Good work!

    Definitely a difference - I wouldn't have actually recognised that the first and last pics were of the same person!

    You'll get there - just keep on keeping on!
