in Success Stories
Hey there! I just wanted to post my progress pictures seeming how I've been getting a little unmotivated with exercise/eating habits lately and could really use that extra push from my MFP friends :)

This isn't really a success story but I feel I'm somewhat close to where I want to be but I'm not quite sure how to finally get there. I've been doing a lot of Jillian Michaels DVDs and running occasionally with diet. My main concern is that I just want to get rid of that little bit of belly fat left over. I know it takes time and I'm wondering if I should just keep doing what I'm doing or if I should move on to any other form of exercise, etc.

Any ideas/motivation on how to lose that tummy fat?

    Great job! I would suggest adding some strength training & lifting weights.

    i am also 5.2 ft and i started at 142. i now maintain 118. I started lifting 2 months ago b/c everyone said how that will help burn that last bit of fat off and make me toned, well i just took my 2 month pics and i really don't see much of a difference yet ??? so if someone makes a great suggestion for you, i will be waiting for it :) that is amazing how much you have lost in that short bit of time, it took me a year to lose 20 lbs...

    Where are the pics? I don't see any on the board. Is it only for the ladies to see it and not the guys? :sad:

    My stomach looks exactly the same as your before picture, nice to know how awesome it'll look when I get closer to goal :)

    And just keep working towards your goal and start working on strength training, like lifting and building muscle. Then bye bye belly :)

    Try a different exercise routine like weights or something like that. Something you haven't done before that you can make it a challenge. Also, try changing around your diet to make it more eventful!! Good Luck on your Journey. You have done an awesome job so far!!

    Hi I'm 5'2 and 135lbs you look awesome I hope I look like that when I get down to 128. My stomach is the area that needs more work. I had a baby and my belly got gigantic I guess that's why I'm having trouble getting a flat stomach. Anyway, why don't you try p90x is more intense than jillian Michaels.

    I did 30ds and then switched to p90x and I'm very happy with my results even though I dont do any strict diet and dont eat healthy (I know eating healthy is the key :-( but can't commit myself to eat better)

    I highly recommend p90x because it delivers great results I will be starting P90x/Insanity hybrid in 5-6 weeks hoping to get the abs I want.

    Ps my goal weigh is 128

    Wish you the best

    Thanks so much for all your feedback!! Definitely feeling more motivated. I think I'm going to look into P90X since I tried Insanity before and it was a bit too insane for me haha, my boyfriend has also been trying to get me to lift with him so I may go that route too. It just intimidates me so much -_- but thanks again!

    Also glad if this can help/motivate anyone to get closer to their goals! I know how frustrating it is to search MFP for posts of results with your similar body type :)

    Wow. You look amazeballs! Keep up the hard work!

    I'm also 5ft2" and weight around 140lbs, unfortunately, ALL of my excess weight goes to my midsection so I would kill to get my weight down to where you're at now and have that flat tummy so thanks for the inspiration! :)

    Just wondering how many calories did you try to maintain daily and did you place any emphasis on your macros?
