Thanks to exercise and intermittent fasting, I finally lost all 50 lbs. of extra weight from having my daughter. Here are pictures from the USMC Ball from last year and from this year, just the other day. I would still like to lose another 10-15 pounds but am so happy to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

Great job! I've never been to a ball because my husband is always deployed when it's held. Hopefully next year. You look fantastic!

You look REALLY incredible! Congratulations on such an amazing accomplishment! Well, two really- your weight loss and your beautiful baby!

You looked beautiful already but now you're dropdead gorgeous!

Hot momma!!!! What a fantastic accomplishment! And thank you for your hubby's service. Mine is Navy.

Awesome awesome awesome! Baby weight is so hard!

This could be a dumb question but what exactly is intermittent fasting?

An amazing accomplishment! Baby weight really is difficult to lose.

You look beautiful in both pictures

Congratulations! You look simply stunning!!

You look phenomenal! I love both of those dresses too

Thank you all so much!

Mom2jjl07 - Intermittent fasting changed my life! Essentially it is keeping your eating to a window of time every day or doing 24 hour fasts a couple times a week. I have an eating window from noon-8pm on average and I "fast" the rest of the day. Keeping my eating to a certain period of day makes it so much easier to eat the right amount of calories. I eat fewer larger meals and feel more satisfied than if I eat many smalls meals all day. You can do a search on this site or the internet for more info or PM me if you have more questions. It really has helped me sooo much!

Congratulations, you look amazing!

You look amazing! Congratulations!
