I started this challenge at seven weeks postpartum as a way to motivate me to lose the baby weight. I did it! 18 pounds down. Thanks for all of the support, this community is awesome. I just wish there was a “maintainer“ game now.

Hard to stay on my diet.

I'm thankful we take pictures. I didn't realize how much my body had changed since starting this bet. I was already down 55lbs in January when I took my starting picture. I didn't think I looked much different until I looked back at my picture. This is a 30lb difference.

Just a little mini non scale victory/testimony! Yesterday everyone in the house went for a little walk through the “forest” by our place and stopped at the play structure!

Often I would sit on the sidelines and just watch the kids play! NOT THIS TIME!

This time I did all the things! Crawling on the ground to get into the kid-sized tunnel ladder, swinging, rope ladder, rope bridge, I think every slide there was, and then some!

Did my hips ricochet of the sides of the slide… yes! (They are kid size after all!)

Did I have the confidence and the care-freeness to play with the kiddos in my life! Yes!

Did we create some memories of playing follow the leader! Absolutely YES!

This is me! This is my body lining up with who I am in the inside! 🙌????

Life Hack for next weigh-in 😉

Feeling strong and seeing progress! The one on the right is my weigh in photo from January 1st, the other was taken today.

Also, ick, I've got to wash that mirror!

Liift4 week 3 day 4. Leg day! And that’s 3 weeks of ZERO missed workouts!! Yay, me!

While yesterday and today are weigh in days, I knew I likely wouldn’t make weigh in for this month because I started lifting heavy. With that mindset ahead of time, I’m happy where I am right now even though I did NOT make this month’s weigh in because I’m definitely stronger and my body is noticeably tighter and firmer. There is still the flab I need to get rid of, but I know I can do it and I’m feeling so much better with adding in the heavier lifting!!

This makes me so happy. I’m down 41 lbs now! I have that pooch still and I don’t believe my big a**is ever going to go away but I am so much more comfortable in my skin not to mention lighter on my feet. At 43 years old everything hurt before I started my weight loss journey. My highest weight was nearly 370 lbs. keep at it guys. It gets better and better and it isn’t just looking at yourself in the mirror. ❤

3 month progress pic… down 25 lbs! Some days it seems like I’m not losing any weight but each monthly weigh in has proved otherwise.
