Some people treat me better, some don't. Some people end up not being in my life anymore. I've had quite a few who women who have privately expressed to me their struggle with jealousy towards me and the change in their feelings once getting to know me better. It's funny what losing a lot of weight does in your life and to…

Hi Mkneedtogetfit, feel free to private message me in regards to my food plan, I'd love to share more with you. Cheers! Gen @fabulous1690, Thank you!

Thank you so much everyone. I appreciate it! Hi fereshtaf. I am currently working on putting meal ideas together (that are diabetes friendly and some even vegan) in a book!

Thanks guys, I'm not sure why the photo doesn't come up in the message! Sorry about that!! :smirk:

Almost 2 years ago, I posted my story here and have received SUCH an outpouring of love since then. I shared what lifting weights on a calorie deficit can do but today, it's been almost a year exactly between these photos and it's quite a different story than the first time, lol.. First photo here was 2 months after my…

Hi Luna, that's great! I'd love to connect with you further if you'd like. I'll add you! Always enjoy meeting new fellow lifter lovers, lol. All the best to you! :smile: Edited to add: Looks like we are friends here on MFP already!! I'll message you instead :smiley:

Thanks! Yes maintaining is important!! My baby will be 13 months old this Sunday and after gaining almost 50lbs during the pregnancy, I only have about 10 to go to reach pre baby weight again. The results come by making it a lifestyle! Thanks for your comment.

I do have lose skin and stretch marks! No one is perfect though so I don't let it hold me back.

Thank you so much everyone!! For those with questions, please send me a message here or preferably Facebook, so I can help!! Feel free to friend me as well. I'm not always in the forums these days but I still want to guide you if you need it!

Great title! :wink: And well done Makia.

Thanks everyone, your comments mean the world to me! :heart: @tarothelp I'd like to answer your question but need a bit more time. Feeding the baby at that moment, who is 10 months old now! :) Talk soon!!
