I NEVER would have guessed i could look this good again!!! :)

Hi rs world! Let me start off by saying that I have been stalking all of you for well over a year and you are the reason I have decided to start my journey on becoming a better me! I am 27 years old and have 2 kids and a wonderful husband! My daughter is turning 8 in may and my son is 6. I had my kids very young and very close together! 19 with my daughter and 20 with my son. I have never considered myself a thin person but until I had kids I never considered myself overweight either. In school I was very active and from 14-18 yo i stayed between a size 10 and 12. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 13 and ended up having my entire thyroid removed in 2007. When I got pregnant with my daughter I was a size 14. Both of my kids were large babies, my girl was 8# 10oz 2 weeks early and my son was 7# 5oz 3 weeks early. I became pregnant with my son only 10 months after our daughter was born. After he was born it seemed like the weight came on so fast. In 2012 I weighed in at 234 but I know I had gained at least 10 more pounds before I started trying to lose weight. So long story short here I am 55lbs lighter and ready to be proud of my body again! I have a consult with the PS I have picked out on April 11th. I am so excited to get started on this new step of becoming a better me :) I am adding some photos of myself so you can see what I currently look like. Be kind! :)

This is proof that almost anything can be hidden under clothes... I feel proud of myself when I start fitting into smaller clothes but then when they come off I am left with the same old depressing tummy :( hopefully that will change soon!!!

I found a few pictures of me before I started my weight loss journey today. These are not me at my heaviest. I believe i was around 230 here. My heaviest was around 240-245. When I look at these I don't really see a big difference but I know that's just the "fat" girl mentality. Seeing these make me want to never go back there again! Motivation!
