Girls here is some inspiration :)

Hmmm are there any that don't start of overweight? I guess I do like the way some of these women look, it might be motivation for me to eat more and not aim so low

Yep there actually is one Nadia! Let me find it for you

have a look at that one

Okay thanks She found it a struggle to eat more as well so I guess that's good motivation haha. I still want to be super skinny though but I'll try to keep this in mind.

try and read more of these stories.. find them read them and be inspired by them You can do this!! I believe in you Nadia... and if need be I shall fly up there and give you a kick up the *kitten* all in love of course haha

I'll try looking for more positive inspiration like these. Her weight is actually much higher than my goal weight and I'm an inch taller than her. I'll try to stop looking at the ones in the media. Don't worry, you don't need to fly up, I'll try my best

No Problems at all Just try and keep reminders of these things somewhere close by so that you are constantly looking at them... Maybe even try some positive role models at your gym to help inspire you

Hmm good idea, I've seen some good role models at my gym. I guess I've been looking at the wrong stuff like all the diets of the super thin models and stuff. I need to get away from the media. Thanks

I am currently doing Jamie Eason's 12wk fat loss program and I am enjoying the workouts. I'm on phase 2 wk 6. I'm getting stronger, building muscle and seeing an allover difference in my body.

These are very inspiring. I don't have money to join a gym right now. I am wondering, is there a way to get these kind of results with just dumbells at home? I have some 3lb and 5lb weights and can probably invest in some that are a little heavier down the road as needed. I know I still have quite a bit to lose before I need to get serious with the strength training so I have been managing to get my strength in with 30DS and cardio with the treadmill and zumba, but I'd like to do some straight lifting too.
