I started out my weight loss goal at 200 [roughly.. probably a little over when I really got self-conscious]. I'm now around 190-185. I have wide hips and shoulders, which at a young age contributed to my overall misery with my body -- rather than owning what I had, I tried to hide it and would continue eating goodies.

If you are out there, please share your progress! Bring the booties and the power-house, knock-em-out bodies! I'm proud and trying to polish mine into something to strut around by next summer. :D

I need some fall/winter motivation!

    This was when I did my first round of Insanity, my start photo and finish photo. I always lose the weight in my stomach never really in the hips and butt :)

    that is awesome! i keep hearing about insanity. we have the p90x package but i haven't used it.. i can't seem to get in to the popular/trending workouts, but i see their AMAZING results.

    i always lose the weight in my legs and face quickets. my stomach/butt are like -- "lol jk we're hanging out for another 15lbs."

    I'm a figure 8 shape, which is similar to hourglass only I carry my weight on my high hip. So I look a little diff, but still have a small waist.

    wow, great transformation, shorty!

    redhead -- what do you do for your weight training? i go pretty hard on my legs but have taken it easy since i tore a ligament in my ankle. now i'm focusing more on core/upper body.

  • I have really wide hips and linebacker shoulders which I used to not like but my boyfriend adores them and has made me love my body. :) I started out at around 225 (which is when I really attempted to lose weight and is my before) and I am now down to 203ish.

    My progress from the 30 Day Shred so far:

    I have never known what my shape is (when I took a calculator test, it said I didn't fit any category!), but I am clearly a figure 8 too based on your pics. Thanks for sharing pics of your fantastic progress!

    No probs! I didn't know for a while what my shape was either, but my friend showed me this http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2010/11/body-shapes-explained-defining-points.html and it helps. Our shape goes by a few names: Spoon, Figure 8, 8, high hip hourglass..
