Fell free to add me- ( I hope this works- never get pics right)
I have had some trouble maintaining and have sadly gained a few LBS- I am looking for new friends to help keep me on track :flowerforyou: :drinker:
you did awesome. how long did the 145-125 lbs take you? that's my current goal right now.0 -
My kiddo just turned 12 years old. After I had him, I got down to my pre-pregnancy weight pretty quickly. But then I went to college, bought a house, started a job with crazy hours, had a house fire and yadda, yadda, yadda....Over the past 5 or 6 years, I just started to pack on the pounds.
The photo below is from my sons birthday party in October 2012....this is the proverbial photo that changed it all...I was about 150.
And this photo is from a couple of weeks ago, again at my sons birthday. I am now about 124, +/- a few depending on the day.
I am at my goal weight but I still want to decrease my BF% a little. It is funny that when I was 124 lbs 5 or 6 years ago, I had a much lower BF % and my body was a lot different than it is now. But I am very happy with my work even though there is still more to do!0 -
Great work !!! That the exact same amount I have lost in 3 years. I am trying to lose 10 more then go into holdiing mode. GOOD FOR YOU !!!!0

Also, I just want to add: I let my crazy life get in way of my health. Although I was not at a point that was too unhealthy, I was heading that way. My advice to all moms and mom-to-be's - it is so much easier to deal with that crazy, busy schedule if you make your health and fitness a priority. Some how, I have more energy to be a mom and work my job when I am eating right and working out. When you are so tired, it seems counter-intuitive to expend energy on working out. But once you have made working out/eating right a habit, it will be hard to imagine life any other way.
Everyone looks awesome! Thanks for posting, OP :happy:0 -
Hopefully I'll have before & afters soon to share... These are so inspiring! Way 2 go ladies! I really want to lower my bf%, not just weight... but I'm a Grandma & a Mom... I'm 5' 4" & weigh 138... but my bf% is 28...0

Everytime I wanted to quit I reminded myself that to be a good role model, I needed to be in good health. To be able to take care of my children well, I needed to take care of myself. That if I needed extra energy, it waited for me at the end of a great workout.
I used a lot of Jillian Michaels DVDs post partum, but her moves are rough on your knees, so watch out.
Now I use bodyrock.tv and thedailyhiit.com, both are free, most workouts are short, and the environment is very motivational.
Make sure you're eating good healthy foods 80% of the time, not "low fat" "low cal" options, but REAL, WHOLE foods. Fruits, veggies, and lean protein. Want a candy bar or a slice of pizza? Ok, eat it! But eat it slooooooow. Savor it. Stick to only 20% junk (if even that much). Then remind yourself that to see the body you want in the mirror, it takes dedication, and get hItback to work
Remember that to see long lasting results, you need to make lifestyle changes. And remember that there are lots of us here who've been there, done that, and we're here to help!
This!!!
After my third baby (both of my boys were 10lbs!) I have now lost almost 50 lbs, only 5-10 lbs from goal. This can be done! Your daughter is important! But so are you!!! Find time for you, I' ve done it with 3 little ones running around (I also homeschool my boys K and 1st and my daughter is 13months. I'm just saying it can be done!) And it is sooo worth it!! Best of luck to you! :flowerforyou:
Edit to add: I love Jillian Michaels!!! Ripped in 30 has been my go to exercise!0 -
You look amazing! It's crazy what a 25lb loss will do to your body. Very inspiring!0

Great progress everyone! Inspirational!0

For you momma's that have reached goal or are close. Did you eat back your exercise calories?? That who concept still confuses me.
You will get different answers to this but I am 5ish lbs from goal (with 3 kids -7, 5 & 13 months) and I usually do NOT eat exercise cals, only if I feel extra hungry, doesn't happen very often. I have lost 46 lbs since the end of Jan 2013. My cal goal is 1760 I eat between 1600 & 1700 and ignore exercise cals (bonus, in my opinion) That is just what has worked for me. Good luck to ya!0 -
There are some really amazing and inspiring women in this thread. Thank you for sharing!0
