So back in October 2009, my husband decided he wanted to "bulk up" for our new years trip to Dominican... well I figured I might as well try to lose 15 lbs myself so I joined a gym that focuses strictly on a 30 min kettlebell workout 6 days a week. I fell in love with the fact that it was always different and only 30 minuites, and also the fact that the weight just dropped off! Anyway.. after doing the kettlebell 6x a week for a month or so, I started adding in extra cardio. Now 8 months later I am down almost 40lbs and 10% body fat. I went from 190 to 152. I would like to go down to 145 but I am not even sure I have much body fat left lol... I am in the best shape of my life, and next month I am competing in my first half triathlon! I wanted to do something to prove how far I have come, instead of just saying I am a size 4 (although I am proud to say that too!)

Anyway, here is my starting photo as well as one from my most recent trip to Mexico in Feb when I was 163... I will have to post some of me now 10 lbs less! I am going to Florida in 3 weeks, so will def take new bikini pics!

Thanks for all your support!

    Arielle you totally just made me laugh! I actually think they have kettlebell dvds, some people have told me... I have really gotten into spinning classes, which I now cycle outside, and swimming again.. I hate running, but know I need to do it for the triathlon! I love getting these nice comments and can't wait to take my now body pics!

    Kettlebell has always looked "fun"....after reading your post....I went exploring. Found this easy at home. Probably basic compared to a class where an instructor is pushing you....but, tell us what you think for a "starter workout".
