My original goal was 5'5 and 125lbs but once I reached around 133lbs, I've realized I'm pretty much there.
My first set of pictures is 6 weeks post-partum, I gained over 40lbs at 165lbs when I left the hospital, and yesterday at 134lbs.
I did 5 months of heavy heavy weight training, little cardio (mostly dog walking with baby in sling), and kept on my meal plan. I also fell off the wagon a bit with postpartum depression (I ate!) but I managed to get through it.
(Notice the same bottoms)

My main exercise is the squat (I now do 3x5 at 115lbs with my full warmup sets before), bench (struggling but at 3x5 65lbs), haven't done too many rows, I do pullups (assisted) instead for some variety, and then press as well as deadlift (I do 1 heavy set 1x5 rather than 3x5).
way to go Sacha - the difference is definitely noticeable. Congratulations on the baby and getting off the baby weight. you've obviously worked very hard.
WOW - you look amazing! Such a short time for such an obvious change in your body shape - and all with a little baby to take care of - great job! Would you mind sharing what meal plan you followed/how often/long you worked out?
