Here is a very humble photo of what I use in my home, right where I use it, for those asking what my set up looks like. I have a nice, big window, my milk crate, a basic bench and some free weights! Just start picking up heavy stuff and do it consistently!
Hi Gen, Congratulations on job well done. I like your home gym collection as I'm trying to build up mine. Are you still working out at home or you've since joined a commercial gym?
Thank you. Yes, I am still working out at home! A few months after I had lost the weight, I started working out at a gym but once I got pregnant and we moved, I had no access to a gym anymore. I would encourage you to get a few nice items to start with, like a couple pairs of dumbbells and maybe a barbell. Good luck to you!! It's awesome doing everything at home.

Hi! I was eating between 1200-1300 calories/day to lose the weight. I ate a lot of chicken breast, greek yogurt with chia and flax seed, turkey sandwiches, eggs and bacon... You can check out my Fit Food video on YouTube to see different dishes I make and more of what I eat!
Now that I am breastfeeding, I try to stay around 1500-1600/day. I always eat back about half of my exercise calories so that adds a little more on days that I work out.2 -

Just stumbled on this...wow! Well done! May I ask how many calories you consume each day for weight loss?
I kept a consistent deficit of around 500 calories each day, which at that time, put me at 1200-1300 and I aimed for at least 100g protein. I am currently trying to stay around 1500-1600 calories per day.
Here is my latest video on staying focused during weight loss. I hope you guys check it out and have a great rest of your week!

I went from a 98 pound weakling (for real) to a 205 pound robust woman. I exercise quite a lot all my life but I'm honest with myself, I still eat like a fool and i know it doesnt work that way. I appreciate having the honor of reading yur test'mony and seeing yur pics. Now i'm getting up off my back-side and getting my equipment out of the dust and putting strength training in. thank yu. been riding gym bikes and treadmills and using MFP since 2008 and maintained all these years at 200 what a moron I am!!! now to get a butt and legs like yours2
