edited December 2024 in Success Stories
I was going to post my success story when I hit my original goal weight of 150. But the weight loss will have to be put on hold for 9 months. I wanted to share my progress from the last few months. All the success stories posted on here always encouraged me to keep going. Maybe my story will encourage u.. I was trying to lose 40lbs from my previous pregnancies. I joined mFP in aug and the weight didn't change at all until December came and I started to finally drop 2lbs a week. FOr those who dont see results the first week on her.e Keep going it will start showing!!!! I did all my working out at home elliptical, DVDs- 30DS, and used a website fitnessbender.com. pretty neat website. LoVed the workouts from there.. I started to run circles in my basement to change up my workout. (outside was too cold) In the beginning I barely managed 4-5 mins straight. By march I was able to run 1 mile in 10minutes (outside) I would change my calorie intake to see what worked best for me. Usually didn't eat ALL my calories back.. The support on here is amazing! It's surprising how much a stranger can be ur best support system and encourage u to keep going when u want to give up! !

Starting weight 195- summer of 2011.
April 2012 weight 165.
I'm 5'5
Lost 7inches from the waist,

3.5 from hips

    You look fantastic! Nice work! And your little girl is adorable! Also, I love your last outfit. Is that a dress, or a skirt? I want it! I love the blue!
