Just found this thread. And although it makes me sick to my stomach to think of posting a picture of me in a bathingsuit and this size... I'm going to do it. As someone else wrote, it'll keep me accountable. I am horrified by how I look after kids, and I did take a picture in a 2 piece as a before so that someday hopefully…

It is frustraing when your hubby can eat whatever, whenever and not gain a pound. My hubby is the same way (military too). Drives me nuts. We had a great conversation today, very inspirational for me, about my weight loss. And I did ask him to be supportive by not wanting to go out to eat or get take out so much. I admit,…

Ideally I'd like to be 125 (pre-pregnancy I was 120-125 and comfortable at that weight). But I'm not sure it's achievable anymore. So for now I'd be happy to get to 130-135 (if I can EVER stay consistent with my eating/working out!)

I struggle with the same thing. I am super motivated one day and could care less the next day. I feel on fire for losing the weight and eating good and working out... then I just want to enjoy my meal and not count a calorie! I'm so inconsistent that I am not losing. It's very frustrating!

Gorgeous!! And so inspirational. I am also a former gymnast and still heavy after 3 kids (baby is 11 months old). I haven't been able to find that commitment that I used to have in my younger years. It's so frustrating because I know it's in there somewhere!! If I could stay consistent, I'd do alright but that seems to be…

Awesome job!!! I just feel like crying (damn hormones) because my son turns 1 next month and I'm still 30lbs overweight. If only I had stuck with it and stayed consistent then I could be happy like you are are your sons 1 year!

Congratulations to you both!! I was needing some inspiration. Lately I've been down on myself because I just can't seem to stay the course!

nice job! And I love pink bathing suit!

AWESOME JOB!

Nice job! Especially with the ACL tear and reconstructive surgery in your way. Love the dress!

Girl, you look amazing!!! I can definitely tell a difference between the first bikini photos and the last ones. You are tigher, firmer, smaller... what a great story and very inspirational!!

You look fabulous!! Way to go!

5'2", 158.2 lbs and size 10 jeans (some size 12 depending on the brand).

I think they notice larger losses... so it takes a little more for them to realize the change than a woman... we can notice a 5lb loss! But I also think since weight is a touchy subject, they might not be as likely to say something. My hubby has noticed when I lost even 5lbs, he'll comment about my butt being smaller or…

AWESOME! To be honest you didn't look bad in the before pictures but wow, you are tight and toned in the after and look amazing!

I'm actually looking at buying this as well so I'm glad to hear others have it and love it!!

You look fabulous! Your starting and goal weight are very similar to mine. I hope to look that good.... thanks for the inspiration!

I think it all depends on what works for you. My hubby can work out anytime of day... even 9 or 10pm. I could NEVER work out that late, I just don't have it in me. Honestly, I prefer to be in bed between 8-9! I like getting up at 5am to work out (usually twice a week or so) as it's nice and quiet in the house... I have 3…

wait wait wait, I can log calories burned during foreplay and sex?? Sweeeet!!! Why did no one tell me this! LMAO And that hula chair is hysterical!

So sorry to hear it! I was a 34C before children and since children I'm a 38D. When I did get down to 130lbs in 2007 (after kids), my boobs were still a D. I also had assumed that they'd be one of the first things to shrink since it happened to soo many of my friends. They all said after children their boobs "deflated" -…

great job... there is definitely a difference in how you look and how the dress looks on you! Keep up the great work!

You look amazing. I noticed it most in your stomach but you can't really see the legs in the before pictures. Great job and keep up the good work!

Awesome job! What stood out most to me in the after pictures, is that you look genuinely happy! Such a difference from the before pictures :)

Thank you everyone. It's great to get some feedback on the situation. Sometimes that is what is needed, tough love. I have to admit I was still a bit panicked when I'd think that it was gone. It definitely is a crutch for me. And as someone said, I'll always be in recovery so it is most likely best that I just don't own a…

Sorry to hear that. It's sad to think that your friend wouldn't support you. Guess maybe she wasn't such a good friend after all. Sad thought :(

wow wow wow!!! You look phenomenal! Great job!!

What a great love story! And Congratulations on Anniversary #7!! My 8th is coming in August and I was similar to you in that we got pregnant the week after our wedding. I was 125lbs and gained 60 lbs like you did. Lost half, then got pregnant with #2. Lost half and got pregnant with #3. I might take your lead and make my…

great transformation!! That is awesome!

awesome job!!

nice job! It's amazing how much you lost in 30 days!! :happy:
