So, some lovely pictures to mark my progress up to this point.
This is me 5 months pregnant with my son, who is now 3.5. Not much of that was the pregnant belly. That was a whole lot of fat! I started this pregnancy at 5'5" and 195 lbs.
My son was born in August. I went into the delivery room at 235! When the weight quit coming off on its own, I found myself weighing in at 205 to 210.
This is me the following NYE 2005, probably around 185-190.
Enter Turbo Jam. By Halloween of 2006, I looked like this - probably around 155, but looking better at this weight than I had before thanks to cardio plus weights. In the past, I had always lost weight with diet only. Stupid me!
Then finally a few pics of me at my "best". I only wish I had taken some better pics, because this is all I got. I got down to a size 8, 136lbs, 19% body fat by caliper. Please ignore the tequila face!
My goal was to look good in a bikini for our trip to the beach in July. I didn't look perfect, but not bad for a near 40 mom of three? And I had the best legs in all my life. I have always had huge thighs!
Next time I will have to ditch the shorts! Because I was in pretty decent shape...
... with the exception of the mummy tummy!
