For those of you who know me know that my weight is constantly on my mind and I'm very hard on myself. Even before I had my children (3) I was always a pretty heavy girl! LOL! It was after my second child (really after seeing my hospital pictures) is when I decided to do something about it. I started my journey to loosing weight with a co-work (Esther), actually she started two months before I delivered, but when I came back to work we had the biggest "UMF" and went for it! No looking back! I started July 26, 2004 (7 weeks after Alec was born) my weight was 212 lbs (it included baby weight :) LOL). All we were doing was eating healthy - no particular diet; which is the biggest challenge ever working at VDC where food is all over the place. I walked every day. I started with only 1 mile which gradually lead up to 3 to 4 miles a day. Walking was the only exercise I did. In December 2004 I weighed 156lbs. WOW! 56lbs - but like always I was not happy. So I continued - came out pregnant with my last child Aiden in 2006 and gained some weight back. "No problem" I thought, "I'll just do it again" but it gets harder and harder to do. I now weigh 145.4 lbs, I didn't drop a dramatic amount of weight but it is slowly coming off. My good friend Adri and I have a goal for DECEMBER! I would like to fit in a size 4 or should I say - I bought a dress for a wedding that I'm standing up in 2 sizes smaller so I have no choice, LOL :) she hasn't told me her goal weight or size yet but I believe she can do it. She is a very strong person and keeps me going.... (Thanks Adri for being such an awesome friend) BB4L LOL, LOL :) Anyways, here are some pics of mine. Soon you'll Jennifer at 125 lbs...... :) see ya!

Look at you woman!!! You have done a total transformation!! Were you in that show the "Swan" something? I've told you to stop being so hard on yourself, but yes, be strong.

Hey Jen, I'm one of Sals friends from church, and he emailed me to read one of your post (the first day of school), then I started looking at your other posts, and all I can say is wow! You are an inspiration to those of us (like me) that are dealing with the weight! I just recently started to walk, and after reading your story, I am going to try my hardest to continue. Thanks!
