wow these photos are all so inspiring i think i will finally start the 30ds dvd i brought but have been avoiding

Mine is my profile pic. Kind of blurry but it does the trick. I started out around 155lbs after having my son and two years later, I have only lost about 8lbs give or take the day but lost some fat and added some muscle!! My body is completely different even though I weigh close to the same. Went from a size 33/13 to a 28/6 eating anywhere from 1800 (on lift days) and 1500-1600 on off days. I run for about 60 minutes 5 days a week and incoroporate lifting and HIIT intervals a few days a week.

What got me the most lean however, was the 100lb heavy bag hanging in my basement Fantastic exercise after a long day! I think I would much more lean if I could just kick my glasses of wine on the weekend....

You look amazing!

I'm a 35 year old female and I'm 5'8.

Starting weight: 168 size 12-14

goal weight was 140 size 6

Current: 129 size 2!!!!!!!!

I workout 6x a week with weights and cardio. I also lead an active lifestyle and eat very healthy. The weight is staying off!

Good luck!

I'm 5' 2.25"(have to get every little bit of height in there, lol). I started out at 185-190 lbs, size 14/16 back in Febuary. I have slowly (can I stress slowly) been losing the weight. I am now 161 lbs, size 6/8. My goal is 140 lbs or size 4 (with no muffin top and a good fit). I will try to figure out how to post pics tonight. I still have a bit to lose and a lot of firming up to do before I will be happy.

I have lost the weight by eating right around 1200 - 1500 calories, and exercising 5-6 days a week. Started with walking, moved on to 30DS, then Slim in 6, now I am doing Ripped in 30, and restarting C25K (since the weather is much cooler now).

I want to thank you guys for this thread. I'm currently a 12 and my goal is to be the size 6 I was three years ago. I'm 5'11'' and need to lose 20 or so pounds to get back there.

What I love most about this thread is that everyone got to their goals on a variety of paths. Some of you did it just by eating what you want and staying in calories, some ate clean, some lifted heavy, and some did at home DVD programs. There's so much, "this diet is the only way" and "_____ is the only way to workout and everything else is a waste of time" posts on the other boards that it can get discouraging. Even when I tell myself to ignore the noise and do what I know my body responds to, the thought that I'm doing it "wrong" still seeps in like a subliminal message and I get off track.

When I went from a 12 to a 6 in late 2008, I did it by eating sensibly and banning nothing from my diet, doing 30 minutes of cardio 3-5 times per week, and using exercise DVDs that employed body weight calisthenics and light weights. After I lost the weight, I slacked off and stopped working out, so obviously I regained the weight. In January of last year when my size 12 jeans could barely button, I decided to go back to what had worked in the past. Then, I joined MFP around February of last year and discovered that my routine was apparently useless and my eating was all wrong.

Hence, I started tweaking my routine and trying a bunch of different workouts. I even tried eating clean for a few weeks and that ended with a smashing failure in week four. I started Turbo Jam in June of last year and got down to a loose 10 by September. However, a series of illnesses and injuries started in October that all but shelved me for five months and I lost all of my progress. Afterward, I did Turbo Fire, but the results weren't great and I think it's because the schedule is too light on resistence training. I also tried Supreme 90 and got nice muscle firmness and definition, but it's short on cardio. Ideally, my body needs both.

I made a decision last week to go back to the tried and true. It is not my goal to have an athlete's body, to look like a fitness model, or to get ripped. My goal is to be firm with a little definition like I was a few years ago. I'm following the Turbo Fire cardio schedule and then doing my resistance DVDs, alternating upper and lower body each day like used to. I feel better already and am determined to stick to what works for me in spite of what anyone else thinks. You ladies have all encouraged me that the best path is the one you will stick to and get results from.

Thanks and congratulations on all of your great progress!

WOW!!

im a size 12 and want to get back into a size 10, or lower!!!!
