    Name: Rochelle
    Age: 35
    Height: 5'9"

    SW: 297.4
    CW: 287.6
    Neck: 16.5
    Chest: 42.5
    Waist: 41.75
    Hips: 52.25
    Thigh: 30
    Calf: 19.5

    I was about 255 and losing steadily when I got pregnant. Now 10 months post partum I am trying to get back down and keep going. My immediate goal is to lose 2 lbs a week until our vacation at the end of July which would put me at a 22 lb loss. I just joined a group who are not going to weigh in for the month of May. I work full-time so time is tight. Right now I jump on the Stairmaster for 30 minutes in the mornings MWF and walk for 20 minutes during my lunch M-F. On the weekends I try to stay active with my family through walking or hiking. I will also try to fit in another cardio session on the Stairmaster if time permits. I will start a calisthenics routine three days a week starting tomorrow and will do that TThSat. I also started a squat challenge with a FB group and will be doing that for the next 30 days.

    Whew. Good luck everyone!

    Upper Arm (L): 13

    Calf (R):15.75
    Upper Arm (R):13

    Goals: 172 by the end of June when my parents come to visit. They have NO idea how well I have been doing with my weight loss. I would love to show them a huge difference. I was over 200lbs the last time they saw me.
    I am also trying to tone up to. I have no idea how quickly i can lose inches because never really paid attention to it before so I will say I would like to lose 4 inches by the end of June as well.

    I currently am doing JM 30DS and C25K On days I don't work I do both in one day and alternate one or the other on work days. I try and get in a few long walks when I have time. I also am starting a challenge with a friend today that combines the 30 day squat/plank/crunch challenge.

    LET'S DO THIS!!!!!

    Hi Everyone,

    This is my first post, first group, first everything! I have been tracking my food/fitness for 10 days now and I am ready to start getting serious about losing weight and getting fit. I am going to weigh and measure soon and will post later but just wanted to say Hi and say how excited I am to join you on this journey. I really relate to the body image issues and how it affects all areas of our lives. Talk to you soon! Pam

    I'm going to keep mine short! I dont have my measurements with me right now.
    Name: Jessie live in Denver !!
    Age: 22
    Date 5/2
    SW: 168 (this go around)
    CW: 152
    GW: 145 by summer? My vacation date is June 20th I would love to lose that 7 lbs by then!

    Goals: Lose those 7 solid lbs, maybe a few more, really focus on lifting weights and toning more ( I notice more of a change in the way my body looks when I lift) but maybe not in the scale as much. Another goal would be to really switch up my workouts with my cardio legs one day, arms the next, and abs in between! Feel free to add me! :)

    congrats on the loss!!!

    i'm down to 146 which is 1.8lb loss for me so far. i'm not redoing my measurements each week either. i did them at the start of the challenge and then will do them again probably the last weekend in May and again at the end of the challenge.
