Before Pictures are great....as long as there's a nice after picture right beside it. Like this one for instance...They look so happy in their after picture!! =)
The thought of seeing my before...while I am in my "during", I am not sure if that is motivation or humiliation - I am still deciding
Shawn at Flex Fitness asked me if he could put a "How's She Doing" poster in the gym to track my progress. I agreed to it - because I think it will help others... but mark my words...I will NEVER look at that poster...until the "after" picture is there by it - then I will probably send it out as next years Christmas cards =)

Ok. I am 29 (for ONE more day *smile*-my 30th B-day tomorrow!) and I have 3 kids 3,5, &7. I was on bed rest 5 months (yes count them 5 months!!) and I had a few extra pounds to lose even before that. So, after my son was born, I got really sick ended up having a hysterectomy. The drs. said plan to gain at least 15-20 pounds because of hormones and all that crazy stuff! I said NO WAY to that! So, loooong story short, I lost 60 pounds in 9 months!! and this was 3 years ago!!! I have kept it off! I bought a treadmill, did 100 crunches a day and 100 leg lifts (worked up to that) we also cut out all sugar and refined foods for 6 months (NOT fun but well worth it) then only put a small amount back into our diet. I have never felt better in my life physically and yes, you do have some 'skin' but it tightens back up somewhat. For me, it is about being healthy. It really is about wanting to make the most of my life. Ok. I hope this encourages you in some way. Have a super day! ~Gracie
