I'll start with my background. I had my oldest at 16, I walked daily so my body bounced back. When I had my youngest son though, I didn't work or exercise or even leave the house really. I gained SO much weight with my last pregnancy. I was 165lbs and stayed that way up until my son was 1 1/2, then I thought to myself I have got to change. I slowly started losing weight for doing workouts off of youtube, and then in Oct. 2011 I finally found a job working as a lunch lady. That job showed me how out of shape I was. I only lost about 10lbs over a 5 month period. The summer of 2012 I started running and doing circuit training with a friend. I lost about 25lbs total by the end of the summer. Before I went back to work I went to have a physical and I ended up finding out I had Hypothyroidism (Underactive) finally it made sense to why I gained so much weight and why it was so hard for me to lose. I knew I probably didn't have a metabolism from not being active through my pregnancy and obviously not caring about my diet. So slowly with medication and hard work, cleaning eating and dedication I've lost a total of 37 lbs. I have a new outlook on life and my body. I have a dream of being a fitness model. I've always wanted to model but then I thought to myself any skinny girl with a flat stomach can model. I want to model something I worked hard for. I want my kids to see that I work hard to be healthy and fit. The saddest thing I hear is when Mom's say "I've had kids my body is ruined." And they settle with an unhealthy body that holds so much more potential. You have to look at it like, This is the only life and body I've been given why not make the most of it. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Turn your can'ts into cans and your dreams into plans. Find what motivates you, give yourself a goal and go after it wholeheartedly.
