I have been working hard for a few years now to lose all this extra weight I packed on after having my youngest son yes I was big b/c after my son's birth two months later the Navy took my Hubby and I had to take care of a 2 month old and a 4 year old all by myself which I got depressed from and gain a extra 30 lbs on top of the baby weight. When I got to my breaking point it was b/c I hated the way I looked, I was tired all the time and wanted to be able to keep up with my kids and I refused to go over the 200 lbs mark and believe me I was super close to that point. It has been a long process b/c I not only had to exercise which at times was really hard to motivate myself to do i also had to learn to eat a more healthy way and it's all paid off!! I am 10 lbs away from my goal weight I gave myself three or four years ago and I know they say the last 10 are the hardest and they weren't joking I been at the 10lbs away mark for a little while now but I am not stressing it too much b/c I am still in the 120's and I still look amazing!! I know it will be a little ways before I have officially gotten rid of the belly bulge but it is no where near as bad or big as it was. I am super happy about my body now and love the fact that I can actually see some of my abs forming from trying to not only lose weight but tone myself up at the same time. I took some pictures of me and wanted to post how I look now : D
Like I said I feel amazing and think I look pretty amazing too!! I will post some pictures of me at some of my biggest points so you can sorta see just how much weight I have lost over the past few years :D

So as you can tell i was pretty big for a little while there and I have never been super comfortable with showing off my body very much even before I gain so much weight but now I feel like I am way more toned then I ever been in my life and with that plus a little bit a confidence boost I actually feel sexy and been wearing tighter clothes then I normally would wear ever in my life but I been changing a lot in the way i think and feel about things and think that there is no shame in showing off my body as long as it is in good taste and I am not wearing nothing that shows my booty (unless wearing a bathing suit kinda can't help that at times) and showing too much cleavage then i should be good : D
