Healthy eating & exercise motivation. Success Picture Post.

[MamaKarrot]

I thought it was time for a little motivation since I'm seeing a ton of pill/shake posts this week.

Healthy weight loss means healthy food and exercise, and you CAN do it.  If you put enough effort into researching a "diet" then take that effort and put it into preparing healthy meals and staying active.  You'll still lose weight and your body will thank you. :)

With that I want you ladies who are losing or are done losing weight to post your progress/success pictures so we can all keep our chins up and keep trying! :)

This was 2008, my starting point. 6 weeks PP about 189lbs, having lost 10-12 in the 6 weeks after my 2nd son. I had enough.

This was 2011, at the end of october. I was pregnant and didnt know it. I was 137lbs and 5'2" in these pics. I had completed my first spartan and was so into and still am into training.

How did you do it only 7 months postpartam? My after photo for 2011 was after my half marathon and I was pregnant too and didn't know just yet. I hope by seven months to be measuring close to that again except since I am bf again my boobs will be bigger. I am jealous of everyone with smallish boobs.
