    What is your eating plan and how many minutes did you weight lift????

    Inquiring minds need to know!

    wow! thank you everyone for all your awesome replies!! i am so happy i put this up even though i didnt think it was as significant as many of the other before/after pics. also, i am nowhere NEAR my goal so...yes. its work in progress indeed.

    this is ALL i am doing:

    1. WEIGHT TRAINING:
    5 sets of 5 reps for weights. each week i try to add more weight. sometimes i can, sometimes i cant. i dont let it bother me, but i do keep a log of how much i lifted every week. i also try to do 1 or 2 reps of a SUPER heavy load. this is mainly to make myself feel like a bad *kitten*, and so that i can tell my guy friends "i can totally dead lift 82.5 kilos, you doo doo heads". the true pleasure for me is their silence. even if i can only lift this one or two times A) they dont know that and B) its more than they can lift! my lifts are: bench press, dead lift, squat (MUST SQUAT!), military press, inverted row, push ups / chin ups / pull ups (suck at these, thanks broken arm), and dumb bell rows. i do this three times a week. i have no idea how much time i am actually spending lifting these weights because i train with my BF and between each of my sets he does his set. i just keep doing it until its all done. somedays if i am cold when i get to the gym (i live in sweden), i will jump on a machine and run as fast as possible for 2 minutes. that way the blood is flowing and i dont feel all goose bumpy in the gym. oh yeah, i usually pick 3 or 4 lifts to do for each day and then one "body weight" exercise. thats it. i get burnt out fast doing the heavy lifting.

    2. CALORIE COUNTING.
    started measuring things. got adorable measuring cups and matching teaspoons. 1 cup was WAY less than i thought it was.

    3. SPIKE84
    this is a diet program developed by russell brand. he is on MFP and thats how i found him!! hes great and his program is really working for me. ive emailed him about 6 thousand times and it always gets back to me extremely fast. i used his formulas to figure out my caloric needs. 1 day a week i "spike" my caloric intake. it really helps me stay on course the rest of the week.

    4. PLAYING
    i live in sweden and love the snow. i try to go out and play in it as much as possible. i went to the thrift store and bought ice skates. the BF bought me a sled. tomorrow i am trying out for roller derby!

    5. NOT LISTENING TO MY SCALE TOO MUCH. it almost never tells me what i want to hear! talk about an abusing relationship.

    anyway, thats all! i am so happy i posted this because i was beginning to get that dieter funk. i feel completely re-motivated, so thank you EVERYONE for all your kind words :D

    You look really good! So much improvement. I am shorter than you but have a similar body frame and am hoping to mostly tone up! I have only lost 3 pounds and still feel I can see a difference. Cheers to you! Bacardi and Diet of course :)

    These are great picks of what can happen in just a few weeks. You look smaller and more toned, which is fantastic! Also an awesome example of how the scale doesn't tell the whole story. ;) Great inspiration for me. Keep it up!

    What do you eat on your spike days (calorie wise). I read about the principle of the diet.

    THANK YOU for posting! I love seeing the 1 year pics and such, but it is SO important to see that changes ARE made in smaller increments of time as well! You look great! I'll be posting my 8 week pics in about 5 weeks to help encourage others to KEEP GOING as well:-) Thanks again!

    Great work! Sometimes it's a bit disheartening being closer to your goals to start with, because you don't get those dramatic changes to boost you. But what you've achieved is fantastic and I'm so happy to read about a girl who's not scared of weights!!!
