(First post on here, hopefully I did the pictures right!)

Okay peeps, do you have those friends like I do? The ones that are always saying things like "You look fine!" "You're way to obsessed", "You don't need to lose any more weight." It drives me crazy and I don't even talk to anyone about what I'm doing anymore, so it's all unsolicited. Anyways, this was me in 2007.

2008 I got pregnant with my 3rd child and gained a whopping 90+ lbs and then he had to be delivered via c-section.

It wasn't pretty.

As soon as possible I started my journey back to fitness and this is where I am now.

So I HAVE made progress but I'm NOT where I want to be. I haven't lost any weight or inches since February. The thighs and *kitten* are what I want to change the most. I do Insanity and P90X- currently am doing a hybrid of the two. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get these last 10 lbs off my booty and thighs? Without saying "oh you don't need to", "you look great for having 3 kids" or "you should be content with where you are" of course!

    I can relate, my friends say that I don't need to lose weight and I have often found that my motivation and commitment is almost annoying to them. If I can't go out with them because I planned to go to a fitness class or the gym and won't budge, they give me crap.

    It is awesome (for yourself and your family) that you want to be proactive and take care of yourself! You do what you know your body needs, your friends will not know what that is. It is fine if they're happy where they are at, but clearly you want to do more for yourself. Use your MFP friends (feel free to add me) as your outlet. I only talk to people on here about my weight loss anymore, as we are all here for the same reason-to take care of ourselves.

    I found resistance bands really helpful for the butt and thighs.

    What exactly do you do with the resistance bands? I have used them, I used them doing Brazil Butt Lift...
