This weight loss is from exactly 8 months.

It may sound like a long time to some of you, but after having my second baby, the weight loss has been very difficult. But, I am proud to say I am 8 lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight. My body fat percentage when from 36% to 26% and I now fall under the "fit" category for women my age. I hope to get to "athletic" next.

I tried something different instead of my usual cardio on my treadmill. I did 30 day shred, tabata interval training and ripped in 30. I am hoping to do ripped in 30 again.

20-30 minute work out 5-6 days a week, 1200-1500 calories a day. I have 15 lbs more to lose before I am at my goal.

    Nice job! You look great! I've been with MFP for about 8.5 months and down 27 lbs. So I'm close to the same weight loss rate as you!!

    Congratulations! You are doing wonderfully. Don't feel bad, it has taken me a year to lose 30 pounds. Everyone loses weight at a different pace. Keep up your hard work!

    Great job! I really need to do some research on HIIT and Shred, I have no idea what either are and it seems like a lot of my friends list does either/or/both and have had fantastic results. I too have been on here for about 8-10 months and only really consistent the last 4, I've lost 26 pounds. I should have taken before and after pictures...I have gone from a size 12 to a size 8, my goal is for a size 6 ;)

    That's great! They say the slower you lose weight, the more likely you are to keep it off, because it has become more of a lifestyle change and there's no downside to that!
