Here is some recent pictures. I feel amazing, I am around 179-180lbs now. My goals is 150!! Only 30 more to go! :D I would like to share more about my inspirations, new things I learn, and what I ever I can share to help anyone else on the same journey :) and By all means!!!!!! Please share with me as well, there's nothing like good support, especially on the bad days where you feel insanely unattractive :(

So far, it doesn't seem like hard work at all! I LOVE going to the gym, eating healthy, having a "feel good" organized lifestyle :) and the months I can't afford the gym pass I actually get sad :( lol

Ah Yes, the insanely expensive dress that looks amazing, that I could NEVER afford! haha

Working Progress

In a matter of 3 months, I went from 210lbs to 188lbs. Just from changing my eating habits and working. Being a housekeeper was fairly physical so I didn't even need to go to the gym, Although I did when I could! Being a single mom of 2, with a full time job, helping at home, as well as doing my photography... I didn't have a lot of time for the gym lol But I had the motivation and I was sticking with it! The eating I think, is what did it all. I switched from junk (Chips, pop, fast food, etc.) to eating small, healthy foods, throughout the day. So that was around August and this was me then: (Still terrible :(  )

When I started losing

Ok so I met a wonderful man who is my best friend to this day! I was almost 16 when I got pregnant with a beautiful baby girl. In the first trimester I went from 220lbs to 200. Just before I delivered at nine months pregnant I was 215lbs. After I had her, within the first week I dropped down to 186lbs!! The lightest I had been in a while! I was so happy. But of course...I had to go and gain some of the weight back. I averaged around 200lbs for about 3 months, till I got Pregnant with my second daughter lol....long and complicated trust me! But she ended up being a 9 lb baby so I don't feel soooo bad that I was around 223lbs when I delivered. Then I went back down to around 210 lbs. And that's where I stayed...for almost a year!! I had no motivation whats so ever to lose it. of course I wanted to have a fit body, still do! Who doesn't want to be healthy and look good? But it just never happened.

When My youngest was about 8 months old, we moved in with my mother because of an up coming knee surgery. She breeds dogs, lives on a farm, and needed the help! So naturally, being the AMAZING Daughter that I am!! (hahaha just kidding! :P ) I moved in and proceeded to get a full time job as a house keeper. This was me at that point: (EEECK!!)

How it all started

Every one has a different story as to why they are or where over weight. Mines pretty simple, close to middle school, life got tough, through the bullying and life at home, the only way 12 year old me had to cope, was through eating things that made me happy. By the time I was 15, I had gained 80lbs....80!!! That's insane for a kid! I was sitting at 220lbs and very unhappy about it. Not to mention I worked at a fast food place! lol! So that's how it started, I don't want to bore you with intense details. I know a lot of people have had a similar experience and know perfectly well what it feels like. This was me at 15: (and this is where the blogging gets really hard for me...the pictures! AH!!)
