Big Girls need love too

As most of you know I have been battling my weight for years now. My body never quite recovered after having two kids within 18 months. In college I mostly stayed around a 12/14. I got down to a 10 right before the wedding. That was probably the smallest I have ever been. After having two kids I squeezed my big booty into a 18W. I realized in July 2006 that I had to do something to get my weight under control. I have been working out and cutting calories for a while now. It is nice to finally have my new "diet" as a lifestyle. I try to adjust my calorie intake so I can enjoy the good things in life i.e. Chuy's creamy jalepeno dip...yum.
I decided to post some before and after pics. I haven't wanted to post these due to the shear fact at how big I was. I have worked very hard and it has taken me a year and a half to get back to that 14. I am almost into a 12 and I think 5-10 more pounds will do it.

My weigh in pic for school's Biggest Loser. I weighed in at a whopping 201!! Funny I had already lost about 15 pounds in this picture. I don't have any pics of when I was that big.


Funny I actually thought I was looking pretty good here at my 27th birthday. This is a year ago in January. And no I am not pregnant even though it looks like I am in my 3rd trimester.


Here is me now...
