About 7 months pregnant. Two days before having my daughter I weighed in at 204lbs! Crossing 200lbs was something I never thought I'd see and never want to see again! Needless to say there aren't any pictures of me then! I also left the hospital about 20lbs lighter :)

8 weeks post-pregnancy with no exercise or dieting. I can't believe I'm putting this pic up stretch marks and all! I didn't recognise myself in he mirror, I'd been thin and fit all my life. It seemed like I had gained 60lbs over night! These are OFFICIALLY the worst pics ever taken of me! I'm finally feeling brave enough to put them up so everyone can see just how far I've come!

5 months post-pregnancy with no exercise or dieting. I have severe tendinitis in both ankles (thanx to the pregnancy and 60lbs weight gain!) so I haven't gotten to the gym and it may still be awhile before I do :(

5 months post-pregnancy. I've lost about 45 of the 60lbs I gained during my pregnancy. An injury is keeping me from getting back to the gym, but I'm sick of sitting around fat and flabby, so I'm going to try to start finding things I can do. I want my pre-pregnancy body back! Actually, I want to look better then I did then!

I look about as weak as I feel! I'll change that!

This is what I'm starting out with :(

The 1st pics are 5 mo post-pregnancy and the 2nd 2 are 8 mo post-pregnancy. So 3 months between them, without any diet or exercise. Hopefully I'll be able to start working out again soon. I'm back to my Pre-pregnancy weight but NOT body, while my weight is the same I have a higher body fat % and a lot less muscle!

My progress after 2 months in the gym. I'm really trying to build a butt! I think it's SLOWLY working :)

3 months in the gym between photos. Definitely feeling stronger, and starting to look a little stronger too!

Getting there, still want to get more muscle.

13 months post baby, 65lbs lighter, 4 months in the gym.

Don't mind the goofy expression lol. 13 months post baby, 65lbs lighter, 4 months in the gym. Starting to feel stronger... muscle is finally peeking through! I might even have a hint of abs! I'm still a ways from where I want to be though.

Not seeing much change from my last back pic :(

only one month between front flex pics, the last one was a poor quality pic so it's hard to see if there's any change...

These are my calves "before" pictures. I've had 2 calf workouts now, I had to wait longer to work my calves because of the ankle injuries. So my calves have hardly been used for nearly a year!

3 months progress and 6 months progress. Finally starting to see some progress! I have a bicep :)

3 months in the gym to 6 months in the gym. I'm starting to see some progress in my bicep and shoulder!

leg progress... long way to go, but not bad considering I was starting from scratch in leg muscle!

1 year (6 months in the gym) between pics.

6 months in the gym.

6 months in the gym. No cardio, just lifting heavy.
