Just me and my everyday experiences as a military wife and mom.

Here's my before & after, side by side. I'm not too good at figuring this out and somehow cut off the top of my head. I'll have to work more on this. I'm posting this because someone had the nerve to say that I didn't really need to lose weight in the first place. HATERS!!!!  Posted by Picasa

    Don't take this the wrong way, but you are hot! I have had so many people tell me the same thing. I just tell them that I wasn't happy with me. You look amazing. Be proud, and I'm with Bob-O. Screw the haters!

    Holy moley! You look wonderful. You are an inspiration. Let me tell you, I hope I look like you after having kids. My body looks like shit and I haven't even had any yet. :)

    Danielle, thanks! I've been working really hard on it. I think mainly it's genetics though. My Dad was a professional athelete and my mother kind of looked like his groovie little groupie!!! lol

    Robyn, thanks! I'm sure if you put your mind to it you'll kick those 18 pounds.

    Is your hubby coming home in late Feb. or early March? If so maybe he's with mine??? Oddly enough I ran into my key volunteer through NS (I never participate in any functions and wouldn't have known her otherwise, but she recognized my name and situation from my NS profile). She's also lost about the same amount as I have and it is fun to see that I'm not the only one trying to suprise my man. Let me know if you need any support.

    Hi Cara
    I think it's nobody's business who decides to loose weight and why. I think you look SUPER, and I'm curious to know what your husband will say when he'll see you. I've been following your weight loss since I joined NS november 1st and I'm very excited for you.Congradulations...Keep us posted...joseefromquebec

    Thanks, Josee! I also wonder what he will think??!! Usually when he leave HE loses a lot of weight and comes back with 6-pack abs. This time we'll match! lol

    Hugs,
    Cara

    Jenny, it took almost all of my 20's and 30's to appreciate my "fat ass"! lol My coworkers used to call me "C-Lo" compairing me to Jennifer Lopez. Lucky for me she brought the bubble butt back into fashion!!! As for stretch marks - I've got a few, I'm just blessed to have them on my upper thighs and butt rather than my belly. Interestingly, they show a lot less when I'm this size. Stay on that elliptical and you'll be to goal too b4 you know it!

    Hugs,
    Cara
