June Amazing Amazon Thread

So I want to join this "group" because I am a lovely 6'0-6'1. People comment constantly. Unfortunately, I did not get the tall -n- lanky model genes hah

Yay! Always great to have support from other "amazons!":happy:

Looks like we have the same amount to lose! I'm definitely striving for the "lanky-look," but even even gangly would be okay with me at this point! :laugh:

I kind of like being curvy, my friend calls it "statuesque." :laugh:

LOL that's a good one!!

Ok, I have a question for you all and please don't get mad at me. I'm getting kind of worried that I may be loosing weight too quickly. I've lost 10lb in less than 2 months and 5 of that in the last 2 weeks. I know quick weight loss is normal in the beginning but I've been doing with a while and I'm at a healthy weight. I eat plently (generally about 1750/cals). I do strength training 30min/5xweek and cardio when I can (lately 2-3x/week) for about 30min. Do you think I should be worried or am i just over analyzing??

Hi All.....haven't been around this thread lately, thought I'd jump in and share something that made me excited yesterday. So have I these jeans that I've been wearing since I've started watching what I eat. Yes, they were tight then, but I'd come to decide that they were the Amazing Shrinking Jeans. I mean, I've lost 22 lbs, but they still fit! WTH??? So I have them on at work yesterday, and I'm walking out of a coworkers office and I realized that I had to hike them up as I was walking back to my office, and the butt felt baggy! YEA! Maybe I might just shrink out of them yet! :laugh: :laugh:

The good news is that I haven't had to spend any money on smaller jeans. I now plan on wearing these until they do fall off!

Hope everyone is doing well..

How do you feel? Do you have enough energy? I think if your body feels allright, than it may just be re-adjusting. I lose weight all at once like that, and then stay there for a while. I guess it evens out when you average it all together. However, obviously I'm not an expert! Just observations from my own body! By the way, congratulations!!!:flowerforyou:

I agree...ask yourself how you're feeling...if you have energy and feel good than you're fine..I would be worried if you lost 10 lbs + in two weeks, but over two months seems fine...maybe you were holding onto some water weight and its coming off now or something......

:flowerforyou:

You both are probably right. I feel fine. I'm tired but that has more to do with not sleeping (I work and school ). Thanks for calming my worrying mind! :flowerforyou:

Ah! Our thread is dying! NOOOO!

So I am considering buying a pilates/yoga video. Do any of you know of a good one??

I have the Biggest Loser weight loss yoga video and I really like it. I feel like it works flexability as well as tones. It's not traditional yoga since it's geared more toward weight loss, but that's what I wanted!:happy:

Good to know. I have one but it's very "breathe, focus on your chi and let you spirit soar" and that is a little too spiritual for 430a. My last strengthening routine was yoga based. I boyfriend was appalled that I like to listen to rock while I did it. Again, 430a. A time at which the last thing I need is relaxation.:bigsmile:

Thanks for the tip! :flowerforyou:

So... I'm heading to the beach tonight after work and am so excited, obviously, but I always get a little nervous too! I really don't want to undo any of the hard work I've done, but I'll definitely be eating differently than my usual routine.:drinker: But, my BF and I have decided to go running on the beach every morning, so that will help.

Also... the bikini always is a little nerve racking! I feel all right in it when I put it on at home but when compared to all these itty bitty little girls at the beach it makes me self conscious! :blushing:

Since I'm tall, my body parts are bigger, and it's hard not to compare myself to the 5'3" girls even if proportionally we're about the same!

Anyway, I thought maybe you ladies would understand. Cheers, and have a wonderful 4th of July!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
