5'7" and 163 here trying to get to 140 by January (Started at 210 last January)

I am starting to see the outline of my ribs above my chest. I can not wait for my hip bones to start poking out

I have started just streaming playlists from sound cloud

I drink regularly and have lost 40lbs in 8months. I try to stay away from beer and mixers and just drink whiskey with ice or wine.

You must not be aware of much alternative medicine

Binge on squats. Great appetite killer

WhEre do I find check in

Thank you again guys. I think I did not mention I am wearing the same shirt in both pictures

Thank you everyone. This place has been a huge help and support

Start small. You do not need to go full 100% right away. Don't give up all junk give up some. Don't run a mile just park the car further out in the parking lot. This is not a quick fix, it is a lifestyle. Over time, when you start seeing results you will want to do better and better.

I have recommended it to many friends. All that have tried found complete sinus relief without any side effects. It is also commonly used for migraines.

Stop taking chemicals and start taking butterbur for your allergies.

Just stick to it. Be vigilant and do not loose faith. I stalled at 180 for almost two months. i am down to 165 now.

Change your relationship with food.

Do you mean you downloaded the couch to 5k app? They have their own group with lots of great info.

Look around and do some reading. The MFP blog has lots of great information and you can research anything and everything that you can think of in the community section.

I have tried all kinds of stuff. None of it works. You know what does wonders for my stretch marks? Looking at my boyfriends sexy stretch marked body. I think he is super hot with them and he feels the same about mine. Chrisst Teegan has stretch marks for christ sake.

My biggest advice is stretch post run. Oh man. It will do you so much good.

This is me too Tumblr gets my butt out of bed and into my workout gear

Download the Nike trainer app. It will give you some great workouts with minimal equipment needed.

I got stuck at 181 for like 2 months then I moved passed it. Do not give up and be patient. Most importantly do not gain back.

My biggest obstacle is staying motivated to exercise.

Agreed. If someone is trying to tell you something they think is nice you say thank you and that's that.

That is heartbreaking, and I get where you are coming from. My dad was always a brutish bull type of dude. When my mom passed away two years ago he broke. Now he is a huge puppy dog and it is taking me a while to get used to it, but I love my dad and only wish my mom had gotten to see him as the humble caring man he is…

Isn't it also part of the Quran to better one self? I think you are fine.

Don't cry. Beyonce has tree trunk thighs and everybody loves her.

Keep at it @orangesmartie

Why? I am only 5'7" and it is insanely difficult finding a man of appropriate height (yes i am that shallow). Though I do not think I would want to be shorter... so never mind. Tallk people ftw

Go to Soma and spend the extra money. It will be worth it as they are quality and last and pretty and make you feel pretty. Good undergarments are a worthy investment.

That's alright. My first plank ever was like 22 seconds. You will get better fast.
