    Great update congrats on the baby. Babies make everything different about life don't worry about it. One day at a time. I just had my 7th in September and I'm the smallest I've been in at least 5 years and that's not saying much!

    You look fantastic!

    Wow! You look amazing and so healthy! ♥️❤️

    I am 5'2" and 210 right now and this really inspires me. This is my first weight loss journey with MFP and I have never lifted before. Definitely interested! I hope to be where you are within 4 years

    Wow - you look amazing. I am 5ft5, 53 years old, 181 lbs and my goal is to lose 41 lbs, I would love to lift weights but find it quite intimidating, how do you lift at home? do you have loads of machines?

    Nice! I have similar stats to you, but your legs are bangin'

    What they said. I'm jealous. Care to share that leg routine?

    Thank you @ketokathy1511

    I don't have any machines at all!! I have accumulated a variety of dumbbells now but started with just 5lbers.. I use a few other peices of equipment like a barbell and a crate for step ups. Just DIVE in!!! You will LOVE what it does for your body if you give it a chance!! Would love to connect further. Best of luck! :smiley:
