I was already in to working out before I got pregnant in 2007. I just did cardio and a small bit of strength training, but I didn't know what I was doing. I got up to 178lbs while I was pregnant, which I gained mainly in my lower body. I went on a cardio binge after I had my daughter and lost all of the weight within 3 months. My lowest weight after having my daughter was 117lbs. I took pictures of myself about a year ago and I was really disappointed b/c I had lost a lot of muscle in the process of losing all of that weight. I'm a natural meso (thank goodness), so I put that muscle back on fast. I've gained 6 pounds since then and I'm leaner than ever before. I subscribed to Muscle and Fitness: Hers and began pushing myself further and further. I started weight lifting less than a year ago, and didn't start writing and following along with routines until around 5 to 6 months ago. I've come a long way in such a short time, and I plan on improving more and more every day!
