    July 2011 I weighed 225 lbs. at my husband's work party. They take a portrait every year of all the couples. When I saw this pic I was mortified. I had put on 80 lbs. in 8 yrs. I had suffered 3 miscarriages, went through a deep depression, took hormone therapy for pregnancies, had 2 healthy boys, gall bladder surgery and was hospitalized with pancreatitis. It was time to get healthy and put Robin first.

    I started using a home elliptical machine, Completed 30 Day Shred twice! Joined MFP, counted calories, eliminated cokes, drank gallons of water, starting running in March 2012. As of July 16, 2012. I weigh 137! Not quite the original goal of 135. But close enough. I'm still working on it. So, we had pics done to see what a year and 88 lbs. difference looked like. Here's the result:

    I am happier, healthier, more energetic, and back to my old self. If the woman in the first pic can do it, so can you!


    Such an inspiration! You look awesome!

    MommyRobin, you are a true inspiration. When I read your story, I was completely pumped. You are truly inspiring. When I see how much hard work and dedication you have put into this, I know that I can do the same if I keep my mind focused on the "prize". You look incredible. I hope you know how much you are doing for everyone on here, to help them reach their goals as well. Thank you!

    Wow! :blushing: Thank you so much! It moves me when I read comments like this. The simple fact that I can inspire someone keeps me going. I know that I will never go back to my unhealthy ways.

    Wow! Nice back handed compliment! :huh: j/k...But, really I've never been told that I looked like I was in my LATE 40's!!! :indifferent: I was 37 in that pic, and was still always told that I looked too young to have kids the ages of my children. I think I maybe looked my real age back then. A heavier 37 yr. old. But, really? Late 40's? I've been told by so many people that I look like I'm in my late 20's now. Thanks, anyway. lol. :flowerforyou:
