This is just a reminder to myself “why” I’m doing this, and “why” I need to do this. I created the following video at the beginning of the year in celebration of what my twins went through and how far they have come. They were born at 27 weeks weighing 1lb 11oz each.
Anyway, just thought I’d share it with you guys. I plan to do one of my older two, but they are in this one too. Also, here’s some recent professional pics that were taken of them.
Thanks for stopping by Making Mommy Hot! Have a great day!






I'm Ruthie. I'm a 38 year old SAHM to four, trying to lose over 150 pounds. Come join me as I embark on this long and tough journey. There will be many bumps along the way, but I sure could use the support.

Your children are beautiful! Your children may be your inspiration to stay on plan. However, you are setting a tremendous example for them in your weight loss efforts.

Hi Ruthie,
Besides having the most adorable cuties, I can see why your children are your motivation to get fit. I know a lot of women whose main motivation to lose weight is for their children and/or grandchildren, not to mention the healthy habits you’ll be demonstrating for them.
