Ya done good!

It's especially inspiring for me to see the difference in your legs. Mine are shaped similarly as your legs 'before' and I didn't know if it was possible to get the results you've achieved, particularly in the much smaller size of your calves. I was told that my calves would probably not ever get back to their slimmer size. (never listen to know-it-alls )
Your results show me that that is not even remotely true. Your successful transformation has given me lots of hope today! Thank you!

You're right - in a sense, they are two different people.

When I was on the left I was miserable. I hated getting up in the morning because that meant having to get dressed. That meant having to figure out what would best hide the fact that I was obese. The girl on the left felt inadequate as a wife, a friend, a mother....I hated how I looked and felt. I became very angry. I was jealous of my thin and pretty friends. And I had a hard time keeping up with my daughter. I probably didn't do as many things with her as I should have because I was too embarassed to be the "fat mom" (apologies to those who are offended by that "f" word). The girl on the left didn't know how to deal with life.

The girl on the right is completely different. She's happy, healthier, and feels SO much better about life. ........ I resumed workouts....hard workouts. I hit a few snags along the way early on - a regression of my c-section incision (both internally and externally). Some knee issues. And lately some muscle imbalance in my legs (first day of physio was today, actually!). So I have had to "roll with the punches" many times. MANY times.



For once in my life I feel........free.

I just started this yesterday. Are u telling me that you actually lost this weight logging in your food and exercising? I want this!!

I would kill for your legs! What have you been doing?? You look amazing!
