woop!

My MAC Died in 2006. I just had a local girl put on a disc everything that was on my hard drive. I was shocked at the pics! I knew I was big, I was almost 170 lbs at my heaviest. With a 5'2 frame that's not great! lol I was a 38 DD Chest ... Right now I wouldn't say I'm at my goal, but I'm well on my way. I tend to fluctuate between 118 (starvation mode) and 132 lbs) Which I think is realistic for me

Anyhoo

    Honestly Best Beginning tip I ever got, and I contribute to all my success?

    BE CONSISTANT!

    Especially in the first 6- 12 months. Make exersise a dedication. And I discovered Step Classes early on, Freaking love those classes, I'm not a dancer, but I felt like I had some rythem after a class!

    But CONSISTANCY IS KEY! Don't be a yo-yo exersiser or healthy eater.
    Fitness is for life!

    Hey, you are talented ~ not many people start their diet, oops, lifestyle change, by losing 185 pounds of ugly fat on the first day. Living well is the best revenge!

    You look fantastic! :drinker:

    Your photos are VERY inspirational to me, as I am also 5'2", currently 170 lbs, and hoping to get down to 125-135 ultimately. I hope I look HALF as good as you do when I get there. :bigsmile:

    wow great.... how did u do it?

    it was just small changes at first, i started going to the gym everyday, i didn't know what i was doing so just took all the classes they offered, everyday after work i took a different class, they were all free so it was easy and at first it was hard, but wasn't too long til i got in the swing of things, then i started running, just 20 minues a day at first, and am not running 90 minutes

    over the past 6 years it's just been trying to be consistant, and get regular work outs. but now i'm 30 (almost) i notice a lot of dietary intake has had to change,
    just to maintain i've had to give up sugar, pops etc, fast food (i have 1 burger a year, november 17th ) etc, minor changes like that

    i have ZERO snacks in my house, you will not find chips, cookies or anything like that, maybe the occasional rice crackers, so when i go camping, to the movies or on vacation, i don't fee guilty endulging!

    but i credit the initial weight loss to working out, eveyrday doing something.

    maintaining has been tough, but I have a very active partner, and we are about to go play tennis for a few hours, then tomorrow e are playing duos on a beach volleyball tournament, i went from teh gym to just living actively! i only need to go to the gym once a week now!

    And to the person about the city :) First pics, are of Vancouver, BC the hiking pics are from Squamish BC (by whistler) where i live now ... it's actually 'Outdoor recreation capital of Canada'

    And ya'll know the rest from the first post.

    Note about the Collar bone comment. Thank you sooo much I never saw my collar bone before I started working out. Shoulders and that area of a womans body I think is the sexiest ... Love wearing my hair up now! :)
