Bump! You all look amazing!

FitHappyGrrrl · May 2015

Here's a 40-lb difference between last year's work event vs. this year, which was a 2-day golf classic & 2-night party. In the first photo, I was always tired, I avoided photos & the red carpet at all costs because I didn't want to look fat next to the talent. I was mentally/physically drained after the events & took a week off work. This year, I had more energy & I loved being in photos (this time around, our celebs wanted to take pics w/ me!). I'm only taking a few days off & I'm running a 5K tomorrow! I'm stronger, fitter and happier!

Thank you all so much for posting your pics. I started 2 months ago and though I have taken pictures along the way (one month apart) I haven't weighed myself in a while because it's depressing. Seeing all of your success gives me more motivation!

Maintenance since September has been pretty good! Not a lot of difference in pictures here but I've noticed less muffin top, less saddle bags, more defined back, abs area is a bit harder (but still fat over it) and butt is juicier - unghf!

If anyone's got tips / good information on body recomp, please message / add me, and let's talk more.

You ladies all look happier, healthier and more capable of doing whatever it is that you set your minds to. Keep up the good work.

94 lbs lost - at 140 lbs. - Easter 2014

I am 5'4" and 57 years old. Working on the last 6 pounds but only because I wanted to lose 100 lbs when I started. I'm very happy with my size and the new clothes I can wear, as well as my energy level. It's been a great journey!

Hi there! I've mainly been doing weights 3 - 4 times a week. I try to sneak in a cardio session in there somewhere. I don't think I'm progressing fast enough, but at least there's progress I guess.

I'd love to get your progress! What kind of weights did you do? I just don't know where to start.

@itsmethao I do big compound movements: squats, deadlifts, flat bench presses, overhead presses and rows - followed by smaller, isolation work. My training days are a split of Upper Body A, Lower Body A, Upper Body B and Lower Body B. The barbell has essentially become my best friend.

Here's a 16-month span weight loss face comparison. I now have collar/cheek bones! If I can do this, you can too. Slow and steady wins the race.

Well done everyone on inspiring and amazing weight loss achievements. I'm 5' 4" and have been stuck at 141 lbs for months but feel I should be lower! Any tips appreciated.

Eri0515 · July 2015

Wow, some of you have really made progress and look really awesome. I'm 5'5 and I started 38 days ago, I have been working to stay within my calories. It's a hard road for sure but it's worth following. I've lost 7.6 lbs so far and I will keep fighting.
