Hey guys. I am a newbie here but not to weight loss. I posted a thread in the intro section that explains my story a bit but thought I'd post a pic of my progress. I was 180 a month after pregnancy. I am now at 133-134. I did a damn good job dodging pictures at 180, I'm posting one of the only ones I can find. The before and after comparison is from 150ish to 133. I didn't want to see myself at my high weight so I didn't take actual before's. The before pictures are in my underoos as I really hadn't planned on sharing them with anyone, so I paint-shopped in an amateur censor. 
I thought when I got to the lower 130's, I'd be more "solid" and feel more thin. Don't get me wrong, I feel better, but not drastically so. And I can still grab a big ol' handful of fat in places I don't want it (and yet not in the one place I do...super). I need to up the strength training and hopefully that will help. I also have a small pouch of loose skin and stretch marks left from pregnancy (18 months ago) that you can't really tell from the picture, but believe me...it's there.
My main driving factor is my son. I love and have so much fun with him, but I felt restrained by the extra weight. I felt like he wasn't getting mommy at his best because I just felt depressed and and had very low energy. I still have some mental things to sort through. Sometimes your body changes and your mind doesn't follow at quite the same pace. Anyone else have experience with that?
