In less than 5 months, I've dropped 40 lbs, and gone from size 16 to size 8. I can't believe it!!! So, I took some photos the other day. These are unofficial, since my technical photo day in not for another week or so, but I thought you would enjoy...my hubby sure does! =0)

BEFORE PIC! (January 22, 2009)

Current Pix (taken June 14, 2009)

I took these next ones about a week ago (my hubby is deployed and he wanted pix....)

great job mama! keep it up!

can i ask though, what are you doing to lose the weight? i've been doing the 30 day shred at home, since i can't get to a gym, but i don't feel like it's working enough. it's been almost a month and i've only lost 6 lbs. i watch what/how much i eat. but i'm still just not losing anything. can you help me?

Amazing transformation! How do you do it?

I want to know too! How did you do it? 40 lbs is exactly what I really want to lose. That would take me from a size 14 to a size 8! We are TTC so I have to be careful not to strain too much but still... any advice would be great!

Have you experienced a miscarriage or lost a baby during pregnancy?

Wow, you look great. I have lost 50lbs since January and also went from a size 16 to a size 8 and I don't look that good. What are you doing to tone yourself up so well? How tall are you?

You can do it. You just have to believe it.

I second "Rebirth"'s answer. You can do it! Can't is not a word allowed in my vocabulary. The best advice that I have had in my head for this entire process has been "It's not a quesion of whether or not I will workout, but for how long and how intense." That at least got me started on the days I didn't "want" to workout, and got me to finish a workout most of those days because I got into it once started! Don't give up. Keep pushin'!
