    @MaltedTea @alteredsteve175 Thanks! <3 The bikini pix are fun but what I’m REALLY proud of is what this mom bod can do:

    You should be very proud, great pictures! I've heard of people running barefoot but I've never actually seen it before, until now. I'd be too worried about stepping on a rock but you definitely appear to be enjoying yourself, awesomeness!

    I shouldn't have come back to check this thread. Now I really feel like crap.

    Me too haha. Doesn't matter how much more I lose, my abs will never show. But I really like your photos.

    Pose struck vs normal standing. I'm backsliding and feeling worse every day... I've totally lost all motivation. Somehow I need to find it again.

    That dimple is fire

    I know the feeling of not feeling the best with where you’re at and how no one can really convince you otherwise but fwiw.. you look great

    Aww thanks about that dimple comment! Well about it all really. I know half my battle is in my brain and I can do this. I just need to adapt and work with what I've got. My ankle is bad, so cardio is out til it heals. I can get back into lifting, and maybe I should start my boxing again. (that's a non impact cardio).

    It's just telling my brain that these past few months are a setback, not a knock out.

    Thank you again ❤️

    I agree with Heidi. You look as if you’re in good shape. Both of those pics look good to me. I hope you find your motivation because based on what I’m seeing you’re pretty inspirational.

    Man alive I missed some good activity last night.

    @MelG7777 you are glorious, as always. 5 kids? You need a vacation!

    @KickassAmazon76 you are spectacular! Our own body images hijack who we are. Its a shame you can't see yourself as we do. You should be on the cover of a magazine. I'd buy every copy.

    I gotta agree with all the other comments here...you look great now! I always say any workout you do when your not motivated counts double! :wink:

    A tip I stole from Graeme Obree.....ALWAYS start your workout. If you still don't feel like it after 5 minutes then stop!...but ALWAYS start. Good luck! :smile:

    For me, after being off for months, I think the hardest thing is starting again. Because the last weight routine ended in failure (wasn't well, fighting an injury, and failed a 5x5 squat set I normally could nail easily), I have a hard time mentally starting again.

    I know I need to get over it, but I struggle with that. I've been looking at old deadlift pr videos though, and it's starting to rekindle the flame.

    @seepersaud lol yep. Sucks to try and find pants long enough tho! My length is not common! 🤪

    I love pants that don’t cover my ankles...and I’m 5’4” so sometimes I cuff them. My point is, I’ll bet it looks cute even if they’re a little short on you.

    it's funny but it's the one feeling I can't stand. Maybe because of the height. When you struggle with having pants long enough for so long because you're stupid tall... it feels wrong even if it comes round in style. the fit just feels off. Thankfully alloyapparel.com sells pants and jeans that have a 37" inseam - so that's the only place I shop. Sometimes it's a miss, but most times they're pretty decent pants!

    That’s what I was kinda thinking....if you don’t always have the choice it’s not really great. I could see that. Even my workout leggings I get 7/8 length or short. Regulars are so long.
