I'm pretty quiet, but I want to scream my progress right now. 🤯 I use MFP to calculate my calorie goals, track every bite, and exercise 6 days a week. There's no magic diet, pill, or crazy formula involved in these progress pictures. Just dedication to the process. Promise!

I hope this motivates somebody. Keep moving forward. Trust the process.
I'm cheering you all on!!!

Feel free to friend me on MFP if you're curious about my diary. ✌️❤️

    Wow.. great job! That’s 3 lbs per week! How many calories per day did that take?

    Best of luck!

Your post has inspired me to start taking photos to document my progress and work out way more. I can't believe you do it 6 days a week! That's commitment! May I ask what kind of workout you were doing? I want so much to make progress like yours! ❤️ Stay the course, queen! You are kicking major tail!

    You brought happy tears to my eyes!!! Thank you so much!!! 🥹 I go to the gym before work to make sure my workout happens. Plus, there's a lot less people there at 5:15 a.m. 🙂

    Beginning Routine:
    Walking on the treadmill or the elliptical for about 45 min. Monday-Friday and about an hour on Saturday.
    I would constantly try to push myself by raising the elevation or resistance (since I couldn't walk very fast).

    Now:
    M, W, F- Spin Class (45 min)
    T, Th, S- About 30-40 min. of strength (still a beginner using mostly machines). I also will either go back to the gym after work for my 30- 40 min. cardio or just walk/jog around my neighborhood.

    Cardio now looks like a mixture of spin classes, walk/jog outdoors or on the treadmill, the elliptical, some stair climbing, and the rowing machine. I like to change it up!

    You are amazing and have done an amazing job getting healthy and happy. I'm 72 and I exercise with weights 2 or 3 times a week. I do a pool aerobics class 2 times a week. I'm not losing weight so obviously I'm not burning enough calories to what I'm putting in. What kind of nutrition did you follow? I know I need to be better recording my food, but are you trying to eat specific types of food and eliminating others? Thank you for your response.
