11 months ago I began my weight loss journey...

WORTH IT$12,970
About 4 weeks after giving birth to baby #2 my husband was sick of hearing me whine about still having to wear my maternity clothes. I refused to buy a size Large but I couldn't fit into my pre baby clothes. Every time I would have to get dressed and make my self presentable I would become extremely depressed and cry. In sure the post baby hormones didn't help ;o) finally he had enough and said "that's it. I'm done listening to this. You are starting your diet/exercise regimen today." I wasn't sure about it because I had just given birth 4 wks prior (vaginal birth) and my DR. Hadn't cleared me to return to exercising. My husbands reply was "you know your body and can tell if you need to stop or ease up. Do what you can do." So he took my "Day 1" picture and I hoped back on the exercise wagon and took off. This photo was taken around August 20th, 2013... The other one was just a few days ago... That's less than 11 full months in between. I think the side by side pictures speak for them selves. Results don't happen over night. They take time, persistence , patience, dedication, and motivation. 11 months ago if someone would've shown me a picture of how I'd look today is say that there was no way I could possibly look like this. But with many hours in the gym, lots of calorie counting, and some help from Dr. Ozolins I think I can honestly say that I am in the best shape of my life. I feel stronger, and more physically fit than I did 5 yrs ago while I was working at Hooters before having my first baby. I am so thankful my husband got sick of my whining and gave me the push I needed to get back my control over my body and health. I am happy to say that I am 56 lbs lighter and 100% more confident. I currently weigh 109 lbs do therefore I've lost over half of my current body weight in only 11 months... I know If I can do it anyone can.

She is one of the nicest doctors I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. (& I work in a hospital with lots of Dr.s) She is punctual, kind, intelligent, reassuring, and just all around extremely caring. She never made me feel rushed, and always answered my questions in great detail. I am so happy I chose her as my surgeon. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have cosmetic surgery. Should I ever need any cosmetic surgery in the future she would definitely be my first choice. =) However, as for Star Plastic Surgery center of Novi themselves I have not been impressed with the post op follow up care. I have had like 4 of my post op appointments cancelled/ rescheduled. And in my opinion the staff has not been friendly or accommodating over the phone in regards to rescheduling my appointments. I have not been seen in their office since I was 12 days post op, and I am now 40 days post op. They continually reschedule my appointments due to conflicts with her being in surgery. Anything in this review that I have gave less than 5 stars is in no way due to Dr. Ozolins. She is amazing and I think she is a wonderful surgeon, anything under 5 stars is a direct review of Star Plastic Surgery Center of Novi. Not of Dr. Ozolins. She is all around a 5 star surgeon.

Thank you for your documentation of your journey. I am scheduled for a TT BL w implants. Your joy is felt in your posts. It helps with the doubts and anxiety of surgery. You look amazing . I am really impressed with your nateral breast look. What size are you in inches and or bra size.?I want small c's if that.I You recovery was much better than I expected.I am thinking I can do this. The details are very helpful.I need to make my page. :)
I did Insanity for 3 weeks straight and it made such a difference in my muscle tone!!! It is a great workout! I hurt my right knee running a 12k and it has never been the same since, so Insanity was killing my knee. I go to the Ortho knee doc on Aug 12, hopefully we can resolve the knee issue. Have fun and kick a$$!
Awe what a wonderful journey we have experianced with you ;) im soo proud of you and you look. Absolutely Gorgeous ;) Congrats. May God Always Bless you and your Family , Take care !!! That nsanity thing is gonna just make you more gorgeous ;)

Wedding anniversary .

Ok so I know this is totally non TT/MM related but today is my wedding anniversary so I thought I'd share! We have been married 3 years now. (Together 5.5yrs) Love him more everyday. He was my biggest supporter during my mommy makeover journey and I'm so thankful to have him as a husband. Looking forward to 100+ more years with him.
