My Weight Loss Success: 2005-2007 - After my First Pregnancy

After having tried many diets, in 2003, I joined the gym and hired a trainer. I went from 170 lbs to 145 lbs then decided to have a baby (best decision I ever made, put on 50 lbs after having popped a rib at 3 months pregnant.

I suffered some post-partum depression.  Of course, a colic baby who did not sleep and my extra weight heightened this.  I began working out slowly after 8 weeks of recovering from the incision.  The weight did not come off easily.  As you’ll see in the pictures below, I began to slowly see progress a few months at a time.  It took about 2 years for me to look better than I ever have in my entire life.  I’ll talk more about this later.  I hope that my progress will inspire you to not give up and keep going towards your goal.
