Well where to start I am a mom of 4 ,married and have one busy life.My youngest is 22 months Hayden then Dalls is 6 Savannah 8 Nia 9 and all b-days in April,May..I have been always chubby,fat,overweight,obesed!As a teen around 18 is where I started to hit above "200"and pretty much uphill from there.Well finally after my 4th child april 2006 I saw 268 a week before I had him and after all said and done I hit 255 and stopped so I decided to count calories and stick with the strict 1,200 and walk 2-5 miles a day 5-6 days a week,well the weight started melting with my 1st week a -8 lb loss then 2nd -6 this really kept me going,well by October I finally reached under 200...198 to be exact,well up until a month and a 1/2 ago my weight sort of bounced around from 178-190 and stayed that way for 15 months,do to have alot of cheat days,I used to reward myself once every 2 weeks with an out to eat meal and desert well it started as 1 day and would go to a week so I would gain 5-7 lbs that fast and would see 189-190 and hop back on again.

Well this time I finally sw 169 today an all new LOW for me since high school and I am planning on hitting 165 before I decide to go out to eat so if I gain 1-2 lbs it won't push me into those 170's again! Ok here is a before and current pic!
goodluck everyone...with motivation dedication it can be done...

wow!!! that is awesome! you look great! i even noticed you look younger from the first picture to the last picture! you are doing a great job! i walk the treadmill every night too. i only walk 2 miles though. sometimes i run a little bit of it too, but that about kills me...lol! i love my treadmill. it makes me feel good to be doing something good for ME!! i have 3 kids and have spent the last almost 10 years worrying about them. (they are 10, 7, and 5.) i finally thought to myself....it is time for me!! i am 34 yrs old and need to take care of myself.
anyway, enough about me (lol!)! you are doing awesome!! keep it up...and again, you look GREAT!!

Many congrats to you! Keep it up!

Great job, I can hardly wait until I see numbers like yours on my ticker. Keep up the good work!

Reply yes that is awesome, I am sooooo proud of you! Girl stay away from the bad choices when you go out and everything will be ok, I eat baked chkn or grilled chkn when going out!

I am not sure if you can do it or not, but once I eliminated red meat the weight started coming off faster then too! You are doing so great!

And yes you do look younger! I have lost 80 lbs now, from 220 to 140 and I feel great too!

You rock!
