Soooo, a little background. I'm a 26 yr old stay at home mom of 3 (ages 9,7, and 4). I'm currently 5'4 and 132lbs. Just 2 years ago I was over 200lbs, and I have maintained my current weight since Nov. of last year. I would like to get off the last 5-10 lbs. and tone a little more without adding bulk. I found this site, and decided to join in. I'm looking forward to reading through the forums here and hopefully accomplishing my goals.
So, on to the pics....Before shots, these were all taken near the end of 2006
(I'm a weirdie about putting my kids on the web, so I "blacked" them out of this one...)
...and now the "fun" ones...I never knew how much I liked the camera till I lost the "baggage"...just sayin'
This one is the day I hit 146lbs...which was my first goal
...and these were taken through-out this past year...
Very inspirational. Please stay and post often, and welcome!

That's awesome! I have some friends who have also managed to do something similar to what you have accomplished. What did you find to be the hardest part of your journey?

This part...
IMO it was easier to follow my plan when I had more to lose. Now, not so much. And, as I'm sure plenty of people know, its hard to keep yourself at the top of the "to-do list".
As far as getting off the last bit...I'm sure it would happen if I were to get myself back in the gym for anything resembling a routine.
