    Just out of curiosity, how tall are you? You look great and I'm right at 135 right now. I am not the best at judging myself since I'm pretty critical when I look in the mirror.

    I'm 5'4". I am sure you look good at 5'6" and 135, but it's easy to be critical of ourselves. I'm not really happy with the way I look yet but I've made big improvements! Thanks for the encouragement.

    WOW!!!!! Fantastic job! I started 1/3/11 @ 160 lbs and I am only down to 146....but I am still working at it and I will get there, just like you did, just at a slower pace apparently! Now what??? Are you going to go for 130 lbs??? Tone & build muscle?

    You look great congratulations on your success.So I have a lot of questions for you hope you do not mind:

    I am currently at the weight that you were at when you started, I have been on here since October and have lost 12lbs but now I am stuck at 152. What kind of exercise did you do and how many calories where you eating when you started? My goal weight is the same as yours I am 5'3.
    I have done p90x and currently I am doing Insanity but the darn scale is not budging and not sure what else I can do.

    Thanks

    ha ha, thanks! That made me smile, and feel less guilty about still being in my sweatpants in the afternoon!

    For those that asked, for workouts, I mostly do the treadmill, and occassionally mix in a tae-bo or turbo jam. I walk/run in intervals and use handweights when I am walking. I couldn't run a mile without practically dying when I started and now I can do four or more without a second thought. I also have improved my mile time by a ton. I do planks and push ups and I really need to start adding more resistance training, but I don't go to the gym very often so I mostly do things that use my own body weight. I started out working out 2-3 times per week and now do about 4-5 times per week because it feels so good! I still need to do more toning and building muscle, as well as I have some jiggle in the middle that I'd like to still lose.

    For nutrition, I started out around 1350 calories/day and recently increased it to 1550, and I think since I lost a few pounds it's down to around 1530 or 1520 now (which is a .5 lb per week loss goal). I usually eat most all of my exercise calories. I didn't drastically change what I eat, just the portions, although I am a lot more cautious about junk food than I was before. My one big sacrifice was switching from Blue Moon on the weekends to Budweiser Select 55 (a little beer with my water!) And I occassionally take a weekend day or two where I change my goal to maintenance to allow myself a little freedom with calories, then change it back to the loss goal on Monday and get in a good workout to help keep me on track. I don't look great in a swimsuit yet, but I feel way better in my clothes.
