    I also am 5'7 and have the horrible dimples in my thighs. I only weigh 142 currently but fit in a size 9-11 because I carry all my weight below. I am currently doing Zumba and will add in some Barry's bootcamp as soon as I get it back from a friend. My goals for doing this is to just be in better shape and hopefully start running races this summer. You look amazing and good job on sticking with it.

    Well thank you! I would love to help in anyway possible!
    It's nice to hear a story where someone didn't start at a twig and just tone up. Those stories make it feel impossible to accomplish what I want to do. This is the first time that I have worked out to build muscle, I was always so scared I would bulk up so I would stay on the eliptical or treadmill for hours. Now I'm doing squats, lunges, etc and really targeting my trouble areas (butt/thighs). You are so inspiring and your positive attitude and motivating quotes really help get me through the rough days!

    I do. I have them on my lower belly, hips, inner thighs and under my booty, LOL
    I was just wondering if you had any stretch marks from your pregnancy? I don't see any, but sometimes it is hard to see them on the pics. I do (faded now) and don't think my stomach will ever be able to look like yours.

    I had twins... waist got up to 54"... delivered at 37 weeks. Boy 7lbs 7oz and Girl 6lbs 5oz... twin skin is not a myth. :(
    At this point I just want to look good in clothes. HA!

    Thanks for sharing. Your pictures make me feel like I can actually get my body back. I am 5'7" and was also a little over 200lbs at delivery and have made it down to 150 currently. My goal is 135 and it seems so far, far away. But seeing you do it makes me know that I can as well. Thanks again!

    wow, congrats to you! love the pics and story...totalling inspiring and motivating...i gained a ton of weight from both of my pregnancies and its still here on me 8 years later. all 80 lbs of it. i hate wearing plus size clothes...tired of being fat and i'm sure people look at me and say wow she is fat. i want someone to look at me and say wow shes hot. lol it's so true, some days are challenging and some days you want to give up...but when i hear or see someone elses success stories or pics, i know it can work..thanks so much for sharing!
