I'm posting to share my success story. However, I'm also sharing that it doesn't last forever! It's a life-change. I found that what worked for me was exercise, exercise, exercise! I lost 63-lbs. woohooo! BUT, I've gained back 15-lbs. or more. I'm trying to get back to working out on a regular schedule. I love 30 day shred and boost metabolism, both Jillian Michael's video's. I also love to power walk and jog. I just have to keep that motivation. When I looked at my picture from last year and then this year, I can definitely see that I lost my abs. I'm back at it!

    All is not lost! You still look fab. And you've caught it in time to fix it before you slide downhill. And you know what works for you!

    You still look wonderful! But great for you to catch it now. That is often one of the hardest things to do.
  • Thank you everyone for your compliments! Yes, I believe I worked the hardest I've ever worked on losing weight. It's a constant battle, but never have I done it with exercise. So, usually, I would gain back all of my weight by now. I'm determined to not let that happen. I want to encourage anyone who needs it! Encouragement worked for me....especially in my plateau periods!
  • Congrats on your weight loss!! You look fabulous. Glad you caught it in time. I can see a difference in your arms too from last year.... time to shred it again!!

    I am doing the Shred too. Love Jillians workouts.

    What is amazing to me is how much younger you look. The woman in the before photo could be the mother of the woman in the after photo. Fab.
  • You make me laugh! I've been told I look alot younger. I think that has to do with the style clothes, also. My 19 year old daughter and I share clothes!

    agree!

    You look fantastic, and you can get back on track right away!
  • you look good still, and hey you are still in a bikini!!! Im 26 and will prob never wear one again because of my stretched marked tummy!
  • Oh those stretch marks are murder! I've been hearing about those products that can reduce them, but haven't tried any of them yet. I may post a new topic and see if anyone has had luck with finding a successful product.

    Your arms give me HOPE! I hate my arms so much, and I feel that no matter how much I lose they just stay the same! I even have to buy shirts a size too big in order to accommodate them with their huge girth. : ( Did you do any particular arm workouts? I know spot toning doesn't work at my BMI, but I must know your secret!!

    Good job! And thanks so much for sharing your "uh oh"! That is just as motivating as the success stories. As this is a lifestyle change, it's natural to need to tweak it as we go...and stay vigilant. Great lesson! Thanks! And good luck getting back to where you want to be.
