Sweet_Marie, this is a huge, uncomfortable, very vulnerable leap for me. I've never been seen in a crop top, my swimsuit is one peice with either a skirt or shorts, and I only just started wearing sleeveless shirts! 😁 I always thought I was too fat! Being fit has changed my life!

Beautiful Melissa! It's jaw dropping and I am envious of those biceps! Good to remind us all that you have had 5 children I think? You look perfect!

I could always tell you were fit from your other pics but this truly reveals a fitness model body! The shoulders back and biceps are looking amazing! You should be very proud of your hard work! 💪🏼👏🏼

Thanks so much, Fritzy, HCB, kattay, melissapko, and Ireland! I do have five kiddos, Ireland, but I only gave birth to four of them. However, I think I gained almost as much weight during the wild stress of "paper pregnancy" for adoption! 😁 I really am so grateful that lifting and working on diet and some running has helped my body get back to the weight before I started having kids about a quarter of a century ago! Under my waistband is lots of evidence of the stretching. I'm about 70 pounds down from my heaviest pregnancy. 😁

Thank you, amperage! For protein I have greek yogurt and mostly lean meats. I don't have suppliments. Diablo, that is seriously the most amazing message I could possibly hear! Good heavens! Arnold thinks I'm fit!!! Thank you so much for all of your help and lending your experience and education here to help us all. I am so incredibly grateful for you and your beautiful wife for the good help and example!
