Agreed. I have also found the reverse to be true. I was always in shape and treated a certain way by others, especially men. After having children, I had gained weight and found that I am largely ignored now. It has really opened my eyes and helped me to be more empathetic to those who have struggled with weight loss all…

WOW!!! I love it!! You look awesome - way to go!! And your comment "I won't wait till Monday", my gosh that was always my saying! My hubby would tease me about it "gonna start Monday?" because I'd always say that. Way to turn your life around. I need to become more accountable and really document everything and work out…

Wow - that is awesome. You look fantastic. And to wear a dress from your honeymoon - fabulous!! I still have 30lbs before I'd be honeymoon size :(

That is awesome. You must be so psyched!

Amazing... and very inspirational!!! Way to go!

Awesome job!!! You must be thrilled. PS - you have the most beautiful eyes!!

Absolutely understand that feeling and have been known to hide behind my kids in pics too!! I was NEVER that way before children, course I was never overweight before children. But I too am tired of calling it "baby weight" when the baby is 20 months old! Good look with your weight loss!

You a cop ;-)

1. how tall are you? 5'2" 2. how old are you? 35 3. how much do you weigh? 158 4. how many gross calories do you eat? MFP Goal is 1200 + eating back my exercise calories so can be 1500-1600 5. how many net calories do you eat? I try for 1200 tops 6. are you still losing? (if so, how fast) yes, not nearly as fast as I'd…

Inspirational story. You are short like me and started around the same size. This inspired me that I don't have to be "the chubby mom" but I can be the healthy, sexy mom like you (I hope anyways!!).

What an absolutely amazing story and transformation!! I am in awe!! And so proud of you!! Makes me feel like a schmuck for not being able to stay on track to lose the 30lbs I need to (post baby, course he's now 18 months old! haha). I am inspired. PS - Good luck with the TKR. If you have any questions, I have a degree in…

Way to go!! I was looking for some inspiration and I got it :)

I am planning to have this done for the same reasons as you. My best friend did it about 4 years ago and was beyond pleased with the result. Yes the scar is long but if you had c-sections they use that scar (I've had 2 c-sections so I'm not worried about that). I had another friend who also had the procedure a few years…

nice job!!! Keep up the great work!

I can notice a huge difference in the before/after collage. Nice job!!

Wow - life really has been hitting your hard lately. But I love that you are hitting back! I admire your honesty and opening up here. We all have demons, so please know you are not alone. Gonna add you

jealousy!! That is all it is. You seem a healthy weight for your height so just ignore them!

Born and bred in MA too... living on the Cape now but grew up off cape.

I don't have 6 pack abs now... but I did prior to having children (well more like a 4 pack). I can say from my experience back then that I didn't watch my macros at all, or use protein powders or anything like that. I ate mostly healthy (but still ate carbs and junk if I wanted to sometimes). What I did do was 500 crunches…

I love you for posting this (with pics) and for the others who posted as well. Seriously, LOVE you. I am only 5'2" and was always in shape. I loved working out pre-children and had crazy awesome abs (my fav body part). Gained 60lbs with my first baby, lost half, gained 30 with the next baby, lost half and then gained 25…

You look amazing!! And I LOVE Your smile in the "shorts from jamaica" picture. You can just tell how exciting/proud you are - and you should be!!! So happy for you! Inspirational!

awesome job!! And I love how motivational you are!!! Thank you!

Girl you look FABULOUS!!! What an inspiration!

I think you look amazing!!! My post-baby tummy is the feature I HATE the most. I always had rock hard tight abs pre-children so I thought that they'd bounce right back. My babies were over 9 lbs as well (I'm only 5'2") and my tummy got stretched bigtime. I have that space between my abs and the OB told me the only way to…

Fabulous!!! And you SHOULD be proud - that is an awesome feat you did! 80lbs!! Way to go!

Congrats!!! Well done. You look awesome.

Dude - what the F!!! I may never pee sitting down again! Can you say "hover". Where the hell is that from? Seriously just got chills watching that! I am terrified of ghosts or anything demonic. It's sick though, because I love to watch scary films about that stuff but then literally sleep half under my hubby because I'm so…

LMAO - sounds like my hubby!

I have it on my DVR to watch!
