About 2 years ago, after the birth of our second daughter, I made a commitment to myself to lose weight and get healthy. I rejoined my local Y and began the journey. Just about 4 short months later I went from 217 lbs to 172 lbs...a 35 lb loss! It did help that I was part of a "Biggest Loser" contest with some of my other mom friends. I was now at my lowest weight since Jr. High.
My fitness plan took a slight hiatus over the holidays 2008 but I went back at it full force in January and from January 2009 until April 2009 lost about 30 lbs! I felt amazing. Just to think about it, when I started, in June 2008, I was a size 20 and in April 2009 I was fitting in some 8's!
Well, from April 2009 until February 2010 my "full force fitness" has again been off and on hiatus, but I'm ready. Over the holidays and birthdays and snow days, I've managed to let my weight creep back up there to 165 lbs. Still, not anywhere NEAR where I was but it's getting there. I am currently a size 12 but I can't bring myself to get rid of the 8's and 10's because I KNOW I can do it again!
