I just started Crossfit last night so I will let you know. I have a two week training program to get started with it and then I will work 4-5 days a week in regular classes. I'm about 140 lbs right now. My waist is 29 and my hips are 34. I am 5'3. I used to be 133 lbs almost a year ago when I was in the gym for 1-2 hours 4 days a week with weighlifting. It made me look more toned but based on being in crossfit 1 night I'm not that strong anymore and definitely lost what I had.

I'm hoping to be down to 120 by summer. I'll keep you updated if you're interested in knowing but I think it's going to be an amazing program.

1. Your beginning stats
Size 20 heading towards 22.

2. The routine you did.
Started off with slow walking outside. Then moved to power walking, lifting and Pilates which I still currently do in addition to ice skating and volleyball.

3. The diet you did.
No diet or restrictions. I ate normal just less of it.

4. The resulting stats
A strong & curvy size 8/10.

5. The DURATION to achieve those results.
From start to finish a little over one year to lose 80lbs. It took a long time to see visible changes (I'm really tall too), but I knew good things were happening so I stayed committed. When I added lifting the inches started coming off quickly and that's when I really started to see differences.

That's great! Looks like it's working for you--your shape has improved quite a bit. I love Indian food, but don't eat it often, because I can only get it at restaurants, and I'm sure it's loaded with calories. Soooo, soooo good, though!!!

Yep, this sounds similar to where I began. I'm 5'2" and in a size 14, just changed my diet, and lost to a size 4/6. 80 lbs. is a great achievement, in one year! Great job!

Yes, ma'am. That's what I'm talking about! Nice job. What's your goal size, or BF%?

TheGymGypsy

1. Your beginning stats: 5'5 185-190 pounds (see profile picture)

2. The routine you did: I lost every lb from my before and after in my profile pic by running. More specifically I trained for a half marathon, so running 15-125 miles a week. I also tried to include some strength exercises like yoga and weight lifting, but not nearly as much as I should have. Working on that now.

3. The diet you did: I lost weight eating pizza, ice cream, cereal, and basically all the vegetarian junk food you can think of. On training days I ate 1800 calories, on rest days I ate 1400.

4. The resulting stats (with pics, if possible): See my profile picture, currently down to 130 pounds. All that's left is to lower my bf%!

5. The DURATION to achieve those results: It took me a year to go from 190 to 130.

No pics, but I'll take some by spring

1. 172 high, but 165 in Sept when I really focused on lifting for real.

2. Lifting 2-3 sets of 8-10 reps with key bodyweight exercises, too. Minimum 2x a week for lower body. 1-2x a week for my (injured) UB. I really aim for 2 there, but some weeks it has to be 1.

3. TDEE-10%

4.155 lbs, 12 inches gone on key measurements, definition in upper abs and 'new' serratus over my ribs! Tight, defined leg muscles (still under fat up high). 'New' muscles around knees (yay!) and gained a wee bit of size on my puny delts! Inner thigh muscles tight and not wiggly at all anymore. Lats and armit area tight and not flabby any more! Lower abs tight but still covered in fat.

Hams are dwarfing my butt, though, so it shows that if you don't challenge a muscle enough it doesn't do as well. I just got a barbell to get enough weight on those glutes (for the first time). My hams go back to big really easily without much challenge (just genetics and earlier sports).

5. Sept 1 till now.

Nice job! You really transformed your body! If you had it to do over, what would you do differently, in terms of weight training?

Beginning Stats:
5'7" about 150 lbs. I would venture to say I was 36/28.5/40


Routine: I did Zuzana Light workouts, called ZWOWs, almost daily. They can be found on her youtube channel. I also did the occasional jog and Jillian Michaels videos. Additionally I gave up the escalator and elevator to use the stairs and took a 30 minute walk during my lunch break. It's the little things!

Diet: Wasn't too restrictive, although I did cut out my daily candy intake. I am a snacky person so I replaced the candy with veggies and fruits. Also drank A LOT of water; I'm talking 64 oz. just while at work and probably another 16 oz in the evening. Ate oatmeal for breakfast, salads for lunch, yoplait smoothies for after workout snack and a lean protein dinner. Believe them when they say your diet is everything!

Results:
5'7" and 142 lbs. My measurements 35/27.5/38


Duration: January 2012-April 2012. About 4 months. Also consider that I have hypothyroidism, making weight loss a tad more difficult.

I would have done more of it. If I had lifted more I would have more muscle mass and less body fat.

Makes sense. What's your current plan with weight training?

I love them! She's very motivating. I have done the 30 Day Shred video for 30 days and I saw great changes with that. I also have Yoga Meltdown, No More Trouble Zones, Kickbox Fast Fix, and Banish Fat Boost Metablism. They are great boredom busters if you're in a rut.
