How I lost 70lbs...5 times.

I was never a "small" person but not super huge either. That all changed after I had my first baby. She was beautiful and healthy and I was HUGE and fat. I gained over 70 pounds. A lot of the weight fell off naturally, but about 20 pounds stuck around. A few months later I was pregnant with my second daughter. She was born beautiful and perfect and I was bigger than I'd even been.

I decided I needed to do something. I started with Weight Watchers. It was a great kick start for me. It really helped me understand what was in food and the way it effected my body. Soon I plateaued and needed to mix things up. I started using myfitnesspal.com. And was back to my college weight within 6 months...then I was pregnant again. And gained 70 pounds...again. This time, however, I knew what I was going to do to get it off. I was back to pre baby weight before I was pregnant again. And then one more time. 

In the time that I've gained and lost all this weight, I've had 5 beautiful babies, ran three half-marathons, countless smaller races, won second place (in my age group) twice, and earned my personal trainer certification.

If I can lose the same 70 pounds 5 times, anyone can gain muscle, lose fat, and feel great.
