Here we go!

I've been struggling to get to my goal weight for about 3 years.
At my hightest, I was 202lbs in October 2005.
In February 2006 I was diagnosed with PCOS and Insuline Resistance and put on Metformin and a low carb/sugar diet.
I lost 17lbs within 2 weeks!
I also go pregnant with my 2nd child (which was the goal of the diet & meds).

After I had my daughter i Nov 2006 I was on a mission to lose weight.
My pre-pregnancy weight with her was 183lbs.
I gained 19lbs bringing me up to 201lbs.
I lost my "baby weight" within 2 months and by the time she was 9mths old I was down to 156lbs!
By the time my daughter was 12mths old I was pregnant again with my 3rd child.
My starting pregnancy weight was 157lbs, I gained 34lbs, bringing me up to 188lbs......which is where this journey began.
I'm done having children, so this weight loss journey is for good, no more "excuses".

By the time my baby was 5 months old I was back down to pre-pregnancy weight. I've held steady between 152lbs and 158lbs for the past year.

It's time to start fresh.
New year. New me. New goal.

Today I stand at 157.6lbs.
My goal is 135lbs.

I am back on my low carb/sugar diet. Still taking Metformin. I've began taking cinnamon pills and vitamin B12 to help boost my metabolism.

The message board I own, we are starting a 30 Day Shred challenge starting on January 15th. There are about 7 of us who will be doing this.
I'm excited to see the results we all get from this challenge!

As soon as we start I will post my "BEFORE" picture. I will also do a halfway and "AFTER" picture!
Everyday I will try to post my experience with the work out and what I have eaten for the day. No hiding. I will hold myself accountable for all food.

I can do this!
