    Awesome girl - I am also 5'3", and I will never look like that. I have lost 60 lbs and is 140 (I still have a momma's pouch) and I always will. I have just come to the conclusion that I will be a woman with curves (learning to love them). You look great!

    I am on my feet a lot at work but i tend to notice changes in my body the most when:

    1. I choose liquor over beer (vodka soda with lime or whiskey diet instead of a lager or anything with sugar

    2. I make veggies the main part of every meal

    3. I eat carbs in the morning (like a piece of toast with peanut butter), but not for lunch or dinner

    4. I became a pescatarian!

    OH and doing at least 45 min of cardio instead of 30... those extra 15 min are really what makes you see results!
