My fire to lose weight is reducing since I amnot seeing any changes in my body. Please help me before I completely stop. I don't want that to happen. Please share your before & after pics. Body transformation in 3-4months. Share your story when you felt low & what kept you going. Anything & everything that will keep me & many others like me on track.

Thank you.

    Well, since this is in this group...I will answer here. I would advise you to begin using weights, if you aren't already. You WILL see a change in your body as you tone your muscles. These muscles will also help burn calories.

    I haven't been using weights.. only brisk walking. How many lbs should I start with?

    Maybe start with some strength training. You could add planks, lunges, crunches, squats to what you're already doing. Then as you build your strength, you could add weights. I am still just using 7 pound hand weights, but I am seeing some awesome improvements in my body shape. You can go on YouTube and see how to do these strength exercises correctly. Also there is Convict Conditioning that uses your body weight to work out. I haven't started this yet. Good luck!

    You could quit... and then you'll look exactly the way you do now OR you'll look worse.

    Is that what you want?

    Or do you want a better you? The choice is yours.
