    Congratulations - you look awesome! From one "road mapper" to another - WELL DONE! Keep us updated on your progress!!!

    Thank you! I keep waiting for someone to ask how tall I am or what I weigh. I still hate the numbers.....

    I'm 5'3-1/2". My starting weight was 206. My goal weight is 160. My current weight is 178. They are crazy high for someone my height that wears 10s and a few 8s. Lifting rocks.

    Whoa!!! You are my height & have my dream body! I never would have thought that a woman at my height could weigh 178 and be so fit. You are giving me hope.

    Thank you so much for this. My weight loss has stalled for the past couple of weeks. I am lifting heavier than before and my clothes are looser, but the stupid scale stopped. I was starting to consider dropping my calories and question whether it would work for me. I know, it's silly, it's obviously working. I'm just being impatient.

    Your post was timely, I'll give it longer. I do so love feeling strong, BTW. Even though I love running (sort of), I am now a major believer in weight lifting. It's amazing stuff.

    You look flippin' amazing.

    I stalled for almost two months. From the beginning of June to nearly the end of August... nothing. If you are seeing changes it's working. Don't worry about your scale. Keep focusing on those pants that need a smaller belt!

    This just goes to show, it's not about losing ten lbs. in a month. It's not even about the number on the scale. It's about how you feel, how strong your body is. You look like you've lost way more than you have, because you've made your body stronger and more muscular. Good for you!
