Nearing my 200th day on MFP

Demmuscles · May 2012

And still loving it!

In Nov last year I took before pics and was shocked at how out of shape I was, I used to hide my gut with suck-me-in pants and had no idea how wobbly I had actually gotten. Pics were a wake up call!

Now, 195 days later I have just bought my first ever bikini for my up coming holiday to Fiji!

It has been hard but enjoyable, I made sure I made changes to my diet and lifestyle that I could maintain for ever and haven't cut anything out completely. I never used to drink water and now I drink a lot!

My exercise is all done at home, and I walk my dog regularly. Thanks to MFP I have also discovered a love of running, coming 3rd out of females in a recent 7K run and 9th over all

I have spent this time mainly focussing on my tummy as I have 3 kids and it certainly needed it. Now I am excited to be starting the Butt Bible lol

HUGE thanks to my MFP mates xx

Yes keep going, one day at a time! I found pics and measuring was the best way to track progress when I began, as the scales didn't move a lot to begin with and I got disheartened, but when I saw that cms had come off and I was changing shape, it kept me going

Thanks everyone

you look beyond ridiculously fabulous. i'm gaping a little, because i knew you'd make a lot of progress, but this is simply glorious.
mfp buddy, please remind me what home exercises you've been doing??! i've been on here for over 210 days and i don't think i'm even at half the place you're at! congrats!

Thanks everyone

Ry, I mix it up between hip hop abs, ripped in 30, 30 day shred, random other workouts I find online, zumba and running. Oh and walking the dog. I make sure I do a little something everyday, at least 30 mins of moving

you look amazing! Can I ask if you stuck to the calories that MFP recommended? or were you always under?

I began on 1200 cals, but because I exercised everyday I always ate more than 1200- by eating back the extra I got. Because I wanted to eat more, I was forced to get off the couch lol. Since I hit my goal weight in Feb, I have increased my intake but am still yet to find the right balance, as at last weigh in (only weighing monthly atm) I was 2 kgs under my goal which wasn't my aim and I don't want to lose muscle etc...

Thanks for your reply. I just started and that is what I am doing as well. Since I like a glass of wine then I must work for it :-) sounds like we have a similar mindset. Hopefully in 6 months I will be at my goal weight...I do like the idea of getting off the couch if I want to indulge on anything. Anyway, again you look amazing! Congrats!
