Before Pictures

So here are pics of me starting from when I was 18 till today. When I was skinny, got pregnant, got huge, stayed huge, got pregnant again, got bigger, stayed bigger and then got even bigger and now a little smaller as to where I am today. :) When I was making this I was like...seriously?? I was that big? And I didn't even notice it... :(

When I was young a loving it! 2008

What I would give for those legs again!! lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After baby Number 1 :)

There is my Eva girl...

How cheeky.

Did the earth day half of a half marathon...like 6 miles or something. just walked the whole thing. 

 

haha So in love with her!

Now my second pregnancy

Nachos at Target Field - 2 months pregnant (can't believe I fed that to my baby inside me)

 

At least my hair is cute haha

Looking a little better because I had gestational diabetes and really had to watch what I ate.

And Peyton is here!! Oh Eva :')

After I had Peyton I just fluctuated. I would eat healthy and lose some weight, then gain it back, then lose it, then gain it back...And why was this? Because I would eat "healthy" as in any low calorie low fat food, not natural foods. I was nutritionally starving and would therefore always stop my "diets" and when I did I went big as in whole pizzas to myself, bags of chips with dip every night, out to eat constantly...ugh such icky food i was consuming. So here are some fluctuations :)

My Chunky Monkey Girl :)

Looking sexy! lol

My daughters Eva and Peyton as well as my loving supportive amazing father (he has lost A LOT of weight too!)

My girls and I with my Mother who has also lost weight

Lost some weight

But gain it back...My daughter and my father at his wedding!

I will also do some before/after pics of my father, he has done an amazing job with quitting smoking, quit drinking, quit drinking pop, started eating healthy. A lot of changes in him too!! So proud of him!

He thought it was funny to show his missing teeth (he was in the process of receiving dentures) sorry Dad lol

This is the pic that made me realize I needed to change

Working out every day at that point

Starting to feel muscles plus a complete difference in energy!

This is me as of April 20th 2013 :) My face is kind of weird lol

Now I am going to post a picture of before and after and I hope it doesn't offend anyone but it is me in me in my skin (covered of course) but to me it looks gross :(

Only scroll if you really want to see! lol Just kidding! But no seriously there has been a huge difference and these two pics really show it.

BEFORE

NOW

Do I still have a lot of work to do? Oh of course but the difference is noticeable! Plus I can run 6 miles without feeling so sore the next day I can barely walk, I love to run and I never EVER thought I would say that! I put amazing food into my body along with my kids' and I know we are healthy. Having an all natural plant based diet can do wonders for you!! It's working on me!!!
