After loosing the first 50lbs i was starting to restore my self esteem and starting to feel sexy dispite still being overweight. I think it is so important for women to recognize their beauty no matter what their size...and that by positive self love...they can really continue to succeed and reach their goals!!!

Feb 6, 2009
These newest bootie pics are definalty showing the 'apple bottom' effect that all the crossfitting is doing! Last time i dieted down I all but lost my bootie..so its going to be interesting to see how the slower cutting/crossfit and running program do for the bootie/waist ratio this time!! Watch out bikini season...here I come!
