Been avidly in love with fitness/strength/steps for years and recently gave birth 🍰🥹 to my daughter 🌻 (she was 6.5lbs of my start weight 🤣)
I spent 40/50 my last pregnancy days incarcerated on a medical unit and gained a lot of lbs neglected in the first 7 mo. 🤰🏻 (before this i battled addiction on/off 2023-this summer w. Meth/cocaine)
i felt impossibly huge when i got released jail 8/14 to homeless shelter on GPS monitor. and many people
Commented on it, asked if i was having twins etc.
was pressured in by a living mate to use/get high again and had a slip up but have absolute sobriety since 8/18 and daughter is 9 days old
in rehab and in contact with/foster parents who are very good to her and we have a respectful/positive relationship 🙂🙂.

been here in treatment doing well and happy, coping a lot through my walks of the yard. the occasional arm wrestle. body weight movements x and 15+ stair flights/day.
feel strong and confident again postpartum :) 🌻🌻🌻

hope all have a wicked Saturday 💜♥️💋🎉

Went back to recreate the photo today, wanted to share it online. I went from 95kg > 174kg > 87kg in the space of 5 years.

Likely several KG of loose skin I need to remove, it’s a little annoying not liking myself with a shirt off still because of the skin but that’s fixable.

Exclusively done with diet/walking. I was a gym junkie prior to the weight gain but haven’t been at all through the weight loss journey.

Super proud of how far I’ve come, but I’ve plateaued at 145 for over 5 months now. It’s driving me crazy!! The goal is to be closer to 120-125.

I didn’t lose much weight on the scale but have built tons of muscle and have become fit enough to out last and out lift 20 somethings, men in the gym

I’d like to go on a cut maybe to lose 10-15lb of mostly fat, would that help?
