My progress over the past 7 months

Progress pictures

 January 2, 2013

These pics are from March 4, 2013 (I see the most change in my thighs) 

 This first picture was taken August 8, 2012. I was about 150 lbs and trying to get down 10 lbs to my pre-pregnancy weight

This picture was taken January 2, 2013. I am 143 lbs here. Not quite to my goal weight but I finally got over my plateau (which was not being able to get under 145).

I see a difference in my love handles, hips, inner thighs and my stomach looks more defined. The stretch marks may never go away but I can make everything else look better. I still have a ways to go but I am actually starting to feel comfortable in my body again :)
