Hi There!

I went from 5'5'' and 158 to now 133, but the comparison pic is from 143 lbs to 133 lbs - 10 lbs makes a big difference!

Here's to the last 10! Maybe I will get some hard core abs out of it :-)

(I hope this picture shows up, it will be my first time...)

    Wow, that's 10 pounds?!

    Tell us what you're doing! I've got about 10lbs to goal but was starting to feel convinced ten pounds may not be enough.

    Thank you everyone for all your support! It wasn't easy - I think the absoloute #1 thing is to stay DEDICATED, MOTIVATED and CONSISTENT - anything is possible for you in time with this! But I think that Big 10 pound difference has a lot to do with adding lean body mass while losing fat. My three main activities:

    1. Good circuit training - Jillian's shred, ripped in 30, firm express, P90X, Insanity, etc.
    2. a good clean and primal diet (although I will tell you I loooves me some cake, cookies and ice cream)
    3. HIIT or Interval sprints (10 to 15 min tops)

    That's it!

    Thank you again, I soooo appreciate it! When I reach the 125 I will post again! And hopefully not with a camera phone pic. :-)

    People will say you "look fine", but do we really just want to "look fine" and pass up the looking the best we can? I look fine at 150, I am actually lucky (or maybe not so) that my family genes "holds weight well" but it wasn't the BEST me. The last 15 is tough! I went from a good loss to about one pound per week, but actually, that's what you want - because you know its true fat. You are going to see that wonderful 130! :-)

    You are just the same height as me, and had the same starting weight. I am now 125-128 lbs but don't look nearly as good as you!

    Well, to be fair, I have not had the blessing of having children yet - but hope to soon (which is part of the reason why I was motivated to get fit in the first place) I can imagine after having kids the mission must be more difficult, so I think you've definitely made a greater achievement than I have done...and most likely with a tighter schedule as well too. :-)

    You look great! I wish my abs looked that much beter after 10 pounds! I'm a few inches taller though, so maybe that's why plus I only work out 3 days a week. Most of my exercise comes from tons of incidental walking and stair climbing
