My husband and I are, like, accidental gardners and are thrilled with our asparagus harvest EVERY DAY. LOL He took this picture yesterday and when I looked at it...I just couldn't believe it!

Not the asparagus but I actually have some muscle that shows in pictures! No one is more surprised than I! I have been swinging kettlebells for about ten months, 4-5x week, about 30-40 minutes. That is all. That is all I'm willing to do. HAHA I refuse to run unless it's toward a dessert-loaded buffet table.

FWIW, I'm 55, 5'6" and have lost 48 lbs since last May. I've been successfully maintaining and that's the very best part :) Don't make fun of my redneck camo hat or I'll have to kick your *kitten*.

    Gracey there's no secret.
    She explains she's
    been swinging kettlebells for about ten months, 4-5x week, about 30-40 minutes. That is all.
    and that she lost 48 lbs since last may. That's less than 1 lbs a week for a year. Real progress is not that complicated and not immediate neither.

    And yes calorie counting helps but the point is to eat at a deficit and move a little more and BE CONSISTENT!!!
    That should do it.
