GREAT Job!! You look great! You are such an inspiration to me! I too am 5'4" and I currently weigh 157lbs. I am wanting to get down to 125-130lbs. I have just started this journey of becoming healthier. I can never seem to stick with any exercise/diet program. If you have any advice at all on how to keep going every day and being healthy I would love to hear from you!!0

If I can do it then I KNOW you can! Just take each day at a time & celebrate the mini successes! Each 10 lbs I lost I celebrated (not with food, that's my weakness, but with something to treat myself like a pedicure, new purse, new shoes, etc) so that it motivated me to keep going. New clothes were quite the motivation too! We should friend each other so that we can encourage one another!GREAT Job!! You look great! You are such an inspiration to me!

Great job Gina!!! You are doing terrific and don't let anyone tell you different. When I lost about 25-30 pounds I had people tell me that I may look like a drug addict if I did so. Those same people are overweighted themselves as you stated. We have our personal choices and everyones is not the same.....0

You really do look great now... I don't know where you've hidden that 15 lbs you want to lose still!
I had the same reaction, especially from older people at church, but now I've lost another 5 kg people are seeking me out to ask how I did it :laugh:
The only possible danger to being below a bmi of 20 is that it can adversely affect fertility. I want to stay around 20 for the moment for that reason, but might see what lower is like if I decide my family is complete.0 -
Wow! The nerve of some people! Thank you for your encouragement! Congratulations on your weight loss as well!Great job Gina!!! You are doing terrific and don't let anyone tell you different.

Thanks! I'm trying to get fit so that when we start our family (sometime near the end of this year) I'll be in the best shape. My doctor so that it's great since I'll be not only supporting myself, but the life that'll be growing within me! Congratulations on your weight loss & good luck on the rest of your journey!You really do look great now... I don't know where you've hidden that 15 lbs you want to lose still!

Oops! I meant to say being below a bmi of 20 but above 18. One of my mfps said she had to gain weight to conceive when her bmi was 19. Good luck with starting your family :hug:0

I've noticed one or two friends telling me the same. I think there's two things at play: society has a distorted view on normal, which I believe is tending to be slightly to a lot overweight. I also think friends can get jealous. Seeing you slim makes them feel inadequate, lazy and gluttonous. Do what makes you happy, eat healthy, excercise, take pride in your appearance. Don't worry, be happy!0

You're a huge inspiration to me...we're the same height, same age, and same starting weight. If you can do it, so can I!
Thank you for posting the pictures. I need to take some of my own. 0 -
You're looking great! And if you want to lose 15 more pounds, all the power to you!0

Gina, you look amazing!!! Awesome job! You mentioned starting a family as a healthy mom-to-be, (one of my goals too!) and as a labor & delivery nurse, I must say that women who are in shape, have the best labors and best deliveries!
Fantastic work! SO inspiring!0 -
You look fantastic, wtg! We have similar goal weights so I hope you don't mind but I am going to send you a friend request.
Congrats on the 31 pounds lost!0 -
Wow! You should feel very proud of yourself. Your face even looks happier! You did good, girl! :smokin:0
-
wow, great job, you look fantastic!0

You look fantastic! I agree about listening to the doctor! Mine told me I was fit as a fiddle number wise with the exception of my weight. She even said that I just needed to cut back how much I was eating because I was obviously eating the right things if my bp and stuff were good.0
-
You look fantastic!!! And I love the pink top (where did you get it??)0
-
Oh my gosh! You are my height and starting weight! My goal is to reach 140-135ish. I'm at 158 right now. I started the couch to 5k and I'm in week 2. You are such an inspiration for me!!! Congrats and thanks for the inspiration!0
-
WOW! What a difference! Congratulations on all of your success! You are beautiful!0
-
you really look fantastic! definitely don't listen to the jealous people, do what's right for you as long as it's within the healthy BMI range (and clearly your goal is, as your doctor okayed it). i'm wanting to lose another few pounds and people are calling me mean skinny names (bones, telling me i look like death and telling me i need to eat, etc) but my bmi is 19.9! when i get to my goal i'll still be within healthy BMI. jealousy is a *****...0

Congratulate yourself on your success! You look great. Good luck with the final 20. You can do this.0
-
Wow you look great! You are very fit and toned looking now. I wouldn't get too hung up with the scale number as long as you are in a healthy weight, keep eating right and working out and you will drop more pounds. But in the meantime enjoy knowing you are healthy as well as beautiful!0

great job! u look amazingly beautiful!:flowerforyou:0
