You look absolutely amazing! I really feel the same. I've been "sticking" at the same sort of weight for the last 6 weeks, but I'm working my butt off and feeling stronger and thinner than ever! Hopefully I look as good as this sometime in the near future

You look great!!!! I also had a BIG baby (almost 10 lbs.) and a c-section. Clean eating and training properly really do pay off. Keep up the great work.0

Wow, you look great! Can you share more info about how you went about upping your calories, and what your workout routine is like?
Well, I joined MFP in October 2011 and pretty much was at the 1200 calories as it seems like so many are on here. I was eating back my exercise calories, so probably eating1500-1600/day and just felt STARVING all the time. I lost a few pounds initially but then they came back. After Christmas I got fed up, and about the same time stumbled on the "2000+ ladies group" (link below) and felt like a curtain had been lifted from my eyes.
I gradually upped my calories starting the first week in January.
In December 2011 my average (NET calories because at this time I was logging as "usual" on MFP) was about 1250/day. Starting the 2nd week in January I decided to forgo logging exercise on MFP and base my GROSS calorie goal off my TDEE minus a small deficit. In January I averaged 1850 calories a day (again, this is gross, not net). In February I averaged about 2050 calories a day. In March so far I've averaged between 2200-2300/day.
My workout schedule is pretty intense right now...I'm running a marathon in just over 11 weeks. So I'm running 30-40 miles a week (spread out over 3 runs a week) plus lifting weights twice a week, yoga once a week and cross-training (usually spin class) 1-2 times a week.
When I'm not in training I don't run nearly as much (20 miles or less a week) and probably lift 3x a week instead of 2 and do a little more "other stuff" (another cardio class or spin twice a week or something like that).

And I just wanted to add that I live in a one-story house and the windows are low....if I dumped my scale out the window it would probably hurt its feelings more than anything. I don't have anywhere high enough to drop from to break it....unless I go up to the roof and I'm not about to do that. Me + ladders = no way!0

I'm trying to get into this elusive group of women who lift (and eat more!)... no idea how much I should be lifting (as much as i can, i guess...). Would love advice...
But man (err, woman...), good job!0 -
You look AWESOME!! Welcome to eating for fuel!! (It works....and you're good proof of that!)0
