From January 2009 (post-baby) to January 2010, I’ve lost 41 lbs. My journey isn’t over, but I’m so encouraged by these pictures.
Seriously, I just got re-dressed to have my hubs take the “after” picture! Ha! I’m definitely hitting the treadmill in the morning! 
Happy Wordless Wednesday!

Myra,
You are amazing girlie. You are doing so well, in so many areas of your life. I am especially happy that you are my friend and a true one at that. Your Blog is awesome. I love reading it daily. I am so glad that you are REAL and NOT FAKE. You look AWESOME either way, with baby weight or without. Your true Beauty is within. You are a very special friend. Most of these women will get to see what a true Friend looks like if they don’t already know. Thank you for posting on “real” things. Your blog has been a blessing to me!

That is awesome!!! You look great. I lost a lot of weight back in 2007, then I got pregnant and am now still trying to lose the last 15 pounds. I have actually kicked myself into gear the last few weeks and am doing better so that is encouraging.

I am also on that weight loss journey.. Having a little one later in life, makes so much harder to get rid of the extra baggage you carry. I have lost about 15 lbs in 40 days and am hoping to lose another 25 lbs before I am done.
It is hard- but Congrats on your accomplishment. Other than working out are you dieting? Any secrets you want to share?

Way to go! You’re so beautiful and I can’t wait to meet you next week!
I’d love to hear specifics on what has worked for you in regards to weight-loss if you ever need a post idea.
I’m finally back to my pre-baby weight… now I’m working on the toning part, because I’m definitely not quite back to the pre-baby “shape” yet, if you know what I mean.

@Crystal Paine, I know exactly what you mean, Crystal. I usually loose almost all my weight (except about the last 5-10 lbs) in the first few weeks, but it takes several months to get anywhere close to the same shape! And those last few pounds . . .

You look amazing! All of your hard work has paid off! What an encouragement to see your transformation!
