for me, it has been much different in my 40s than my 30s. I was able to get lean quickly in my 30s. I have been lifting since I was 32 when I first decided to get fit after giving birth to 3 kids within 3.5 years. I was never heavy until my 3rd then I became a marshmallow. LOL. But once I decided, it only took 9 months to…

either greek yogurt with granola; proatmeal [quick cook steel oats; chia seeds cook with water, then heat some almond milk and stir in protein powder then add to oatmeal]; spinach mushroom omelette; sometimes a bagel with peanut butter for a treat.

great job on the weight loss now tone it up.

yup

I'm 5'2" [close] heaviest was >160. Currently somewhere around 150 [been afraid to weigh myself after a 3 week setback]. Goal is 140 [maybe 135]. I am almost 45 [next week].

great job!

we buy bulk bag at Costco.

what I love but tend to overeat on so try to limit: wine, gummy bears, oreos, pizza, lucky charms, did I mention wine?

congrats on the 60+ pounds. c'est bien!

greek yogurt and granola. yum. smoothie with protein powder greens and fruit. quick steel cut oatmeal with chia seeds lil brown sugar [could also heat a wee bit of almond milk, blend in protein powder and then stir into oatmeal...i call it proatmeal. Those are probably all closer to high end of calories but filling and…

45 in week. goal is also 140. feel free to add me.

thanks. my diet has been my main struggle. i've gotten much better with keeping calories down but have been thinking about all the time i spend lifting and not really seeing results and want to get intense. got to replace the flab with something. ;o) i was looking into the 5/5 and 5/3/1 so i'll do more research. keep…

great job!

HIIT training [High Intensity Interval Training] is typically 20 minutes because it's short bursts of all out followed by rest; thus taxing your body more than 60 minutes of steady cardio.

great job!!

8/1 3 mi 8/2 sunday off 8/3 3 mi 8/4 3 mi 8/5 3 mi Today I didn't want to but had to....

great job. keep it up!

when i run on a treadmill, i always put it at 1.0. when i walk on a treadmill i put it on 5.0 or 7.0 and walk at 4.0-4.5; just to give you an example; do what is difficult but do-able. walking keeps you in the lower fat burning zone. Just make sure you are breathing hard...i see too many people walking next to a friend at…

I highly recommend the Polar brand. They work great. Have used them for years. I think they are more accurate than fitbits.

ha ha. loved the feet.

i had a whole sleeve of graham crackers and a small piece of chocolate last night...record it and move on. but enjoy the darn cupcake while eating it.

I squirt lemon slices or lime slices; NUUN sometimes.

you can't spot reduce but you can DEFINE parts of your party by working them...people who row have more defined arms, etc. Running, Walking uphill, kickboxing, spinning all focus on leg muscles. And lifting heavier weights for legs. So fat will come from everywhere but those muscles will change appearance.

I have tried on many occasions to do videos, etc. at home, and it doesn't work for me. I need the gym. I do run outside by myself no problem though. Go figure!

I love the gym. It's my social outlet. I also get motivated seeing others work out. Plus it's a small enough gym where you are accountable. people notice if you haven't been around, etc., notice when you've lost weight, encourage when you need, it's awesome! I don't do a lot of classes but there is a pilates on Thursday…

my goal is to run at least 3 miles a day in August [except Sundays]. So far so good! I run on a trail by a river. Weather has been great. My pace is 10 min. mile and I hope to be at 9 or less at the end of the month. So far I've run 3 every day except Sunday August 2. In addition to improving my time, I hope to kick up the…

i lost 6 pounds the first week and then 1-2 pounds for a bit [started 30 lbs overweight] i am within 10-15 lbs of goal and it is SLOW going now.

you look great. do you do weight training? core work? pilates? maybe add some in to what you're doing. Keep it up.

Add me. I never had a belly before and thinking its from booze (red wine girl). Trish
