    Not gone (I still have SOO far to go!!), but shrinking -- I feel hopeful! This has been over 3 months.

    I was mortified at what my lower abdomen looked like after having my daughter. The first 2 months of good weight loss didn't seem to touch my tummy, but then the third month showed a noticeable difference to me.

    I'm 5'5.5". I ate 1500+ a day, ran/did Zumba 3 days a week, and lifted heavy 3 days a week.

    Before, ~130

    After, 120

    There's about 9 months between those pics. I don't log weekends or vacations, so I lose weight pretty slowly. I didn't add the lifting in until December; I definitely would have seen results sooner if I had started with that earlier on. 2 months of lifting gave me a 4% decrease in body fat.

    Oh, you're so sweet! Thank you! I'm 5'0", so my goal weight is 110-120 lbs. we'll see what looks best on my frame. When I was younger I looked best at about 110 lbs, but I was also 17 years old... I'm sure my body has changed a bit since then :smile: .

    What I've been doing exercise-wise is Zumba 3 times a week and a weight lifting class twice a week. I eat 1300 calories a day as a base, and I eat any exercise calories that I'm hungry for (which could be anywhere from none to all). Nothing too special! I don't restrict any foods (but find myself eating less bread because it's not filling enough for he calories).

    I LOVE group fitness classes and my heart rate monitor. I make a game out of it - I try to keep really high intensity in Zumba to keep my heart rate elevated. It's amazing the difference in calorie burns from one instructor to another, too. My Friday instructor routinely gets me a 100 calorie higher burn in an hour than my other two classes.

    Also, it's the dead of winter and I've got an 8 month old baby, so I'm not super active outside of he gym. If I can be successful so far, anyone can do it!!

    Can't wait to post a before-and-goal rather than a before-and-during. :smile:


    Thanks for the ego boost ladies!:flowerforyou:

    All of you ladies look amazing, and are very inspiring to this mama who thought she'd never look good in a bikini! There's hope!

    Sparlingo, you have changed so much just from those 20 lbs! OMG look at you! Way smaller tummy, smaller thighs, smaller arms, slimmer face. Heck yes you can tell a difference, are you kidding me??? :)

    Sparlingo that is one of the best 20 lb Before and After Pics I've ever seen! You look fantastic, Keep up the awesome work. You are sure right about different Zumba instructors giving different workouts. I usually do Zumba on the Wii but did a few classes and even though my HRM said I burned the same about of calories in the same hr my body was way more exhausted when I did the classes and the level of exhaustion was different from each instructor in the classes.

    Strength training ontop of a calorie deficit has definitely been key for me losing my pooch.
