I lost 35 pounds incorporating healthy choices and exercise... Here are some before and after pics. I still need to lose another 30 pounds and am working towards that now...

    great job everybody!

    Could you also post what routine you did to get to where you are?

    This is what I did. I joined the gym, did Zumba 2x per week and lifted weights 3X/week. I did heavier weights lower reps (machines too) because I knew that I had a lot of flab.

    After 4 months, they needed a Zumba teacher. I took her job and started to teach 4X/week. Started losing the weight, but noticed butt was sliding down my legs.

    SO, in my routines, I add a lot of moves that build our quads, hamstrings, glutes, arms, shoulders, abs....so we dance for a couple of 8 counts, then we will be in a squat position to build muscle.

    Now, all I do is my class 8X/week because my class combines cardio and strength training. The last 2 months, I now eat 35/35/30 (isocaloric diet) Protein/carbs/fat. I also cheat on Fridays...so today, I get to eat what I want. This keeps my sanity!!!


    I also want to help my other moms see that with the right diet and a kick butt workout (1 hour) they can achieve a good goal. As a mom to 6 kids, I can not spend 2-3 hours/day in a gym.


    I also just increased calories to 1900 (before exercise)

    Thanks...What was wrong with it?
    \

    6 kids and no stretch marks in sight. You're a lucky lady!

    I do have stretch marks. I got lots of tiny ones on lower abdomen (mostly right side) from kids 4-6. If I stand up straight and arch my back a little, my tummy looks great. But as soon as I slightly bend over, the baby skin hangs. Boo!

    But atleast I can show, we may not get our pre-baby body, but just having kids does not mean we are ruined...we can look the best that we can.

    Hello,

    I need some motivation and I love seeing peoples Before and Afters, Post your before and after pics!:smile:


    These really aren't before and after pics per se, more like before and during pics. I still have a long ways to go, but I've come so far!


    330+ lbs. (Whenever I show people this pic, they say oh you were pretty, as if just because you're super morbidly obese you can't be pretty :happy: )

    230 lbs.

    wow good job!!! you must be tall if you looking that lean at 170...

    im 5'9 1/2 / 5'10 but I havent lost more than 5 pounds in almost 2 years- but ive dropped about 4 sizes and countless inches- im pretty sure i have a lower bf% than I realise- esp for someone, like you say, at this ungodly weight

    I think men don't realize what comes out of their mouths sometimes =P
    You looooook amazingggggggggg! The scale is just a number so ignore the above comment ;)
