Down 120 lbs - Then and now :)
So, because I was so overweight for so long, I've got a lot of extra skin around my stomach. It's getting better, slowly, but it's been a big source of frustration for me. I've got really strong abs but nobody looking at me would ever guess that because they're hidden :P Well, I took this shot today and, for the first…

Melissa's Road Race - Banff
Hey guys - not sure how many of you are runners out there but the Melissa's Road Race registration went live this morning. It always sells out very quickly. This year it is Sept 27th. I've signed up to do the 10K distance (toyed with the idea of doing another half, but I'd like to work on my speed over the 10K distance a…

Then and now (hopefully with pics!) - Size 20 to Size 6!!!
I've posted before and after shots before but I had a bit of a NSV this week so it seemed like a good time for some new ones :D I've been wearing baggy size 8 pants for a while now because I really couldn't believe that I might actually fit into size 6s. Well, turns out that I do (and comfortably - I don't have to force…

Spartan Sprint 2014 :)
Hey fellow Calgarians - the dates for the 2014 Spartan races in western Canada were just released. Looks like there will be two Spartan Sprints here in Calgary - one on Aug 16 and one on Aug 17: http://ca-en.spartanrace.com/events It would be fun if we had a group of us that wanted to do the race together. I completed a…

Any interest in spinning?
So, I've recently discovered the "Soul Cycle" style spinning that they offer at the Crowfoot Hot Yoga and Spin Studio. It is such a crazy hard but super fun work out! It honestly feels like you're out clubbing/dancing except that you're on a bike :wink: You can sign up online ahead of time for classes and I was thinking it…

So glad I kept this skirt :)
During my weight loss journey, I was careful to get rid of my clothes once they got too big for me. I never wanted to have them lying around because I worried I'd get lazy and be right back into them lol. I did, however, keep one skirt. It is a skirt that I wore when I was at my highest weight (251.9 lbs). It is a size 20.…

Because I love a good comparison pic :)
I was feeling particularly good after a personal training session this week and it prompted me to try to get a shot of my developing muscle. Looking back - it's crazy to see how far I've come! This series of photos is a) me at my highest weight (252 lbs) b) me at the weight I was when I started working out with my trainer…

My NSV for the week!
So, my size 10 pants have been feeling a bit loose but I never dreamed that I could actually wear a size 8 again so I was just living with it. We were out yesterday and I finally got brave enough to try on a pair of size 8 jeans and, much to my surprise and delight, they fit!!! This is the first time I've been in a size 8…

Almost to my goal weight - 106 lbs lost :) (pics included)
Just thought I'd quickly share my weight loss journey. Before kids, I was an active, healthy person. With every pregnancy though, I gained weight and, instead of losing it afterwards, I would actually continue to gain in the months following the births of my children. About 4 months after the arrival of my third, I stepped…
