I'm a newer member who lost about 28 lbs between July and November through diet alone.

10 weeks ago I began a fitness challenge at work and weighed in at 148.4 lbs with 35.2% body fat. I am 43 yrs old, and 5'10 1/2".

I started out doing Kathy Smith pilates and walking DVDs and recently started doing Jillian Michaels ripped in 30.

I weighed in yesterday at exactly the same weight! 148.4! This was great as I didn't want to lose anything - I'm pretty slim for my height. BUT - my body fat is down to 26.7%!

I am thrilled and am motivated to keep working hard! It's been a long time since I set myself a fitness goal and I just wanted to share my success here.

    That is awesome and very inspiring for me because I'm working on shedding the body fat while getting rid of these last 30 lbs.

    At 5' 10" and 148 lbs I don't know how you were 35% body fat-that is crazy. I am 5'10 and any time I have been that weight I almost look like a skeleton. That is great that you have lost that much body fat-that means you are gaining some great lean mass-keep up the good job.
