So I was looking in the bathroom mirror today and it dawned on me...I look "normal" I still could lose some weight and of course I am going to try but if I don't lose more, well, that is ok too.

So I decided to take a couple of photos just to remember the day where I realized I am normal I still have some work to do on my belly but it will never be flat, lets face it, I had 10 1/2 pound babies and my last was a c-section but it is not bad for a nearly *ahem* 40 year old woman.

You look GREAT! I just turned 40 and hope to look as good as you when this journey is over.

You look AWESOME! Seriously I hope I look half as good as you do at 40! Heck I don't look half that good now at 32!

You did great!

Thank you! Reading things like that give me an emotional boost that I need more and more the closer I get to 40

I suppose I could have fixed my hair and smiled before I snapped photos of myself to post on the web! lol

You look fantastic!! So proud of you!

You look AMAZING! You just gave me the motivation I needed for the week =) Congrats!!

You looking smokin'. Congratulations.

Well done!

You look AWESOME!! Congratulations!!



Our stats are similar (except I'm 3 inches SHORTER than you ) and I'm staring down the barrel of the big 4-0 next year, too. Those babies sure do a number on our bods, don't they?? Oh well - totally worth it. I'm willing to give up a flat tummy in exchange for some awesome kiddos!!

Congrats, again. You are a smokin' hot mama!!

Beautiful! I wouldn't change a thing, just focus on staying healthy and active.

You are smashing! Congratulations; you must feel terrific!

Cheers,

You are one hot mom! I'm 23 and I hope to look half as good as you!

Congratulations on working hard and getting to where you need to be

You are way better than normal! You are gorgeous! Congratulations!!

Thank you everyone, what an ego boost!

You look amazing!! Way better than normal but I completely understand what you mean. I feel that way too. I don't "stick" out in a crowd for all the wrong reasons hehe. You've done a fantastic job!

Also, we are the same height and I just reached my maintenance weight of 140-145 on Saturday and although you look incredible at this weight, if you do want to get down to 145 but aren't sure if there's a point to it, it's incredible how much each pounds makes a difference, even at our height. Anyway, not that *I* think that you need it, but it's something I wish I had known when I wanted to stop at 155.

Enjoy this because you look HOT, I'd NEVER guess you were almost 40!!!
