It was very hard for me to post this, but I hope that during this process I can be an inspiration. 
Here are some thing I have been doing… note that that this is a lifestyle for me, not a diet!
1. First and foremost Sparkpeople.com I can’t speak enough about this wonderful tool. The resources and sound information are amazing.
2. Water Water Water!!! (I am perpetually dehydrated- for some reason this is hard for me)
3. Healthy Choices for food- eating mostly natural foods and cutting sugars and fried foods back significantly. Lots of fruits and veggies!!!
4. Sticking to a 1200-1500 calorie diet. It’s a tried and true way of losing weight!
5. Exercise! I have never lost much weight by diet alone. Right now I am doing “Walk Away the Pounds” with Leslie Sansone and “Tae Bo” with Billy Blanks. I do this 4-5 times a week.
6. Weight lifting. Not for bulking up, but I am aging (yuck) and from this point on in my life I will need to do this!!!
7. Thinking positive. This is the most important!
8. Supplements: Fish Oil, Vitamin C, Multivitamin
OK… so you want to see pics??? Here they are…I have a lot of trust in you all here! (Why was taking pregnancy progression pics so much easier?) This is about 2 weeks after I had the baby… Isn’t my family so cute! Look how tiny little “E” is!!!
The best part is that it only cost me $6.98! It was on clearance for $9.98 and I had a $3.00 off any Merona from Target!!! I love Target!

You are beautiful! I still have baby weight to lose, so I am right there with you. I love the "inspiration dress" idea. So smart!
You go girl! My husband is on a big kick to loose weight too, and we are trying to make better food choices because of our children. We have been soda free for a week now – OH SO HARD! I just finished loosing all my baby weight – it took me 1 1/2 years – but I didn't really try very hard.
Way to go!!
You are beautiful and creative. It takes a lot of energy to raise three children. I know. I still have not lost the baby weight and my baby will be 4 in june. I have told myself this is my year. I will still take care of my families needs, but momma is not putting herself on the back burner anymore. And even though we see our selves in a certain light. Others just see us as who we are. In your photo of your family , you can tell your husband is a proud man.
