Im CLEARLY not done yet. But my loss has come from my belly mostly, especially around my ribs (notice it more when Im laying down). Heres my progress (not before and after) pix.
Im doing high protein (150g a day) and reduced my carb intake. I have cut out soda (only drank diet, now only have one every couple days instead of daily) and have been drinking more water (about 100-120oz a day). I also started working out (something I never did before). I walk/run 2 miles a day (averaging approx 30 min) & do kettlebell swings, presses and deadlifts. I also do upper body weight training since I have a very weak upper body. You need to use lots of core muscles while doing strength training of any kind so that has helped. I saw a increase in my width for a while because I was building muscle under the fat and so I grew instead of shrunk. Its taking a while for my fat to come off but its getting there.
Looking great!! I also have that annoying "Apron" bit that hangs down... I've been a bit worried about how that's going to go with weight loss. It's lovely to get some hope that it'll go away! Thanks!
Everyone is so inspirational! Thanks all so much!0 -
First pic was October 9, 2011 at around 130 pounds. Second pic was two days ago at about 115 pounds. I lost about 15 pounds. I hope to lose about 5 more and then continue to tone. I have been having the hardest time losing weight and I think it's because I am already pretty petite and naturally muscular. Lately I have cleaned up my diet ever MORE by scaling down the amount of carbs (pasta!) and dairy I consume. I am lactose intolerant and the dairy left me bloated all the time. I feel as if I have lost inches but I still weight the same. Doesn't bother me too much. I am 4'11!
I do cardio 5-6 days a week for about an hour. I bike for 20 minutes, stair master for 20 minutes, and jog for 20 minutes. I take a CORE class twice a week. I lift weights 2-3 days a week.0 -

My before pictures are not the best because I did not allow pictures to be taken of me in my bikini.
These are 1 year after 6th baby was born. I normally lose the baby weight easier, but not this time.
This is me One month ago.
I teach Zumba everyday, but really any cardio will work. I burn around 400-500 calories per day. I eat 1600-1900 calories per day. What I think has helped is what I eat. I eat around 100 carbs/day and 150 protein/day.
I do not do crunches, but a lot of my songs include a lot of pumping the hips, which is like doing crunches standing up. I do planks, and ab vacuums. I highly recommend ab vacuums! Those work your core and actually pull in your abs.
Since I am the teacher, I design my class so we are burning fat but also toning up our muscles. So, when we get rid of that fat, we have pretty lean muscle underneath. I do believe in muscle building, it just makes a body look fit and healthy!
I still have stretch marks and loose skin from having six kids, but it does look a lot better.
I'm sorry but you look ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! Good for you, your body is amazing. Whatever imperfections you see do not translate through my comp monitor!0 -
