Até o momento, mais de 108 mil pessoas acompanham a rotina da mãe que ganhou peso na gestação e tenta entrar em forma.

Ela conta que começou a documentar as mudanças para "se sentir comprometida".

"Desde que eu comecei a mostrar meu corpo no Instagram, eu tento ser honesta sobre todos os aspectos desta mudança. O bom, o mau... as inseguranças todas", disse para a revista PEOPLE.

Nas fotos, o excesso de pele chama a atenção. "Eu acho que às vezes é fácil escolher quais fotos eu gosto mais de mim mesma e publicá-las - mas há muito mais do que apenas posar para fotos nos meus melhores ângulos. Eu quero manter as coisas "reais" para aqueles que seguem a minha jornada, e meu excesso de pele é a minha realidade", completa.

Ela também contou que compartilhar sua experiência com outras mulheres a ajudou a se aceitar. "Eu sou muito mais saudável, não só fisicamente, mas também mentalmente", comemora.

I'm not striving to be the thinnest, nor the most muscular. I'm striving to have a healthy relationship with food and with exercise. Im striving to have a healthy relationship with my body... I'm striving to have a healthy relationship with ME! Physically. Mentally. To balance healthy eating with some occasional indulging. To balance exercising and sitting on my rear ;) To feel GOOD. Healthy. Fit. To love myself. Day by day! #progressnotperfection ????????? ????????? Age 18 vs 24.. Approx 20-30lb below my high weight on the left. (I've been quiet lately, but enjoying vacation!) ??

The anxiety posting this is REAL. Taken a few minutes apart, flexing in the first. "How did you avoid loose skin and stretch marks?" Heyyyyy, I didn't! Its all there. High waisted bottoms have become my bff. Do I regret losing weight? Hellllll noooooo. NEVER. Not even a slightest thought. I am more FIT than I've ever been in my entire life. Happier. HEALTHIER. I'd be lying if I said my loose skin wasn't an insecurity of mine.. But I refuse to let it consume me. It doesn't hold me back like the weight used to. This stomach has grown two beautiful boys.. Has been through a 90lb+ gain and loss (100lb+ lost from my highest weight while pregnant!) Will you have loose skin after losing weight? I can't answer that for you, everyBODY is different. Will it be worth it, regardless? YES. Also for those who have asked.. I do plan to have surgery some day, but in the mean time I'm just working on self loooovvveeee. ???????? BE KINDDDD, I delete negativity ???? (No itworks, creams, lotions, yada yada) #nofilter #stretchmarks

#throwbackthursday ???? Continuing my back update from yesterday! I have posted the picture on the left before and captioned it as May 2015.. Later to be realized it was actually taken June 2015, (a few days after I started my journey!) SO.. June 10th 2015/August 10th 2016. Tan lines ????

My journey began when I stopped seeking the next "quick fix" to lose weight and realized it was going to take time. Work. Dedication. Commitment. It began when I realized a LIFESTYLE change was what I needed. I had tried sooo many gimmicks before I made this realization. What really needed though was healthy food and exercise, not a short term attempt at a solution. I calorie counted for agggges to make sure I wasn't eating too much or too little. Also, losing weight isn't a "one size fits all" thing. Find what works for YOU! ?? ??90+lbs

Pt 2 from my post yesterday! 235.8 ?? 145.6! Thank you to everyone for your kind words, the support and love on my post yesterday and for celebrating my milestone with me! And to anyone who felt the need to comment on my loose skin/stretch marks.. A big FU! ???? I block any negativity like that, hope you aren't surprised. Of course having loose skin after gaining 90lbs while pregnant, having another child, then finally losing those 90lbs 6 1/2 years later is a bit inevitable. I've worked HARD to become healthier for myself and for my kids. ?????? I have a FAQ post (in my bio!) answering questions for those asking how I've lost weight! ????

Pt 2 from yesterday. No filter. No lighting adjustments. ALSO Yup, I have #stretchmarks and loose skin from a) gaining 90ish pounds with my first pregnancy and b) from (nearly) losing those 90lb after having my son 6 1/2 years ago! I opted to post the other comparison yesterday because you couldn't see my stretch marks but a lot of people ask how I "got rid of them".. I didn't. They're there. Different lighting/poses show them differently. ????No BS wrap/cream suggestions please!
