I was in kick butt shape. I worked out 5 days a week and danced 3 nights a week. Emotionally, physically and mentally I looked and felt so much better. I had a kick butt attitude and knew I looked good and felt good too. I'm starting to get that attitude back. But 2 kids in 2 years, being SAHM, working too from home, stress of money, seperation and divorce recks havic on your body.

5 years ago I was in fantastic shape and had a pretty great body. Now, with 1 pregnancy behind me and a 1 year old to take care of, along with a year's worth of poor health behind me, I am in the worst shape of my life... and miserable!

I have promised my volleyball club that I will start playing again in the spring, though, so that means I need to use the few months until then to get back into some kind of shape so that I don't hurt or embarrass myself when I return!

I'm looking forward to getting fit again... it's been tough being so out of shape, having no energy, and feeling fat and ugly.

I had just had a baby and was at the highest weight of my life. That year I lost a ton of weight (25 pounds) before becoming pregnant again.

So, while I still struggle, I was in much better shape then.

I was also pregnant, with baby #4. I actually lost 5lbs while I was pregnant because I was eating better. Then after the baby was born I gained a ton of weight. And here I am. Today I am the largest I have ever been and I am sick of it!

5 years ago I was 30lbs heavier and not toned at all. As of today I have lost 31lbs, my muscles are toned and taking on definition and I'm 6 sizes smaller in clothes!!
