Awww Great job!! You look beautiful!

There are weight training programs that many folks on here recommend which take the guess work out of weight training for the most part: Strong Lifts 5 x 5 (has an app and group on here) very begginer friendly Ice Cream Fitness (has an app) New Rules of Lifting for women (not sure about app) Following these programs allows…

Great job!! Your hard work is paying off!

Great job!! I'd love to hear your workout/eating regimen as well!

Me too!! Quick to notice who probably lifts and who is probably a runner, etc...I just notice Fit people more often... half the time if we are in a closed space, I talk to them about it. Lol yep random strangers... Ask them (specifically women.. Don't generally talk to random men) what's their exercise of choice. Thus far,…

My feet felt slimmer in my shoes. My rings kept threatening to fall off. My pants sagged farther and farther down. My jawline became more noticeable. The folks in my dance class kept OHHHHing and ahhing as the months went by. :)

5'8, 152lbs... Goal weight was 155, hit it and was no where near happy enough to stay there. Lol Aiming for another 7 lbs and praying with the weight training and small deficit I'll like what I see then. 34-27-36.... Resistant chub on arms and lower abs.

Yes, I love those days!! I do that on Mondays and Wednesdays sometimes, my biggest burn days! Like you said, it's all within calorie range and so freeing!

Look at you; CUTE! You will def get there!

Those first three sizes are me exactly on the bottom and I'm 5'8 with an athletic build as well. Are those your sizes on the top And bottom?? I can wear sleeveless/tank tops in those sizes as my midsection is somewhat small (27 inches) but with my 12 inch arms (although "toned") I can't fit into anything lower than an…

My resting heart rate is down to 52 bpm. I can wear medium shirts even though I still need my arms to shrink a little more. They are baggy in the waist but clingy on the arms. I ordered a size small Fitbit Charge when I had to replace my previous one due to a broken clasp. I can wear the notch in the middle of the band on…

1. To reach the 140s, I'm 2.5 pounds away. This weight is crazy to even Think about since my initial goal was 160... Reached 160 and still had fat on my arms and back although everything else is sculpting nicely. Someone commented to keep going and the tougher areas Have to shrink, so that's what I'm going to do... I'm…

Leg Press.. Squat Rack

Great job!! Also phenomenal decision to take charge of your health at such a young age!

LMBOOOOOO! For some reason that was hilarious! I too was obsessed. When the clasp broke on my Fitbit Charge, I made them send me another overnight... I explained that I was part of a work week challenge and they were disrupting my flow... Still won the week when it arrived. :) I'm not as obsessed anymore since I am…

Great job; keep pushing forward!! :smile:

Forgot all about that! My hubby dragged me to the mirror like, "look at your waist!!". Def a good feeling. Lol

Oh yeah, and when I Noticeable lost my "junk in the trunk". Have a little hanging on by a thread now. lol Hopefully weight training will build it back.. That's the plan.

When my leggings were too big. Lol When folks I hadn't seen in a while started raving and wanting to know what I did. When my Fitbit large, on the tightest notch, kept sliding down. When the "coveted" thigh gap appeared. I'm not into them as I'd rather have thicker thighs, but hey my workout buddies are and they rave, so…

I actually mentioned in one of my Facebook groups not too long ago about how your body goes through sort of transformation phase on the way to greatness where it looks 'different' and it's NOT a good different either. You have to push through that phase to get to the greatness, but it DOES come through eventually! There IS…

Great job!! You DID IT! Simply beautiful! :)

Please add me. :)

Great job!! May I ask your height? :)

Nice!! I'm getting LOW but def have to think about it!

Hmm..I have gained new friends since starting this journey 7 months ago...we maintain closer contact then my long term friends, as we share the same fitness interests and see each other weekly at the gym...Lately though I have started inviting my long term friends to attend exercise classes with me or go for walks so we…

I think that's the case with my ARMS...since I've been lifting they are trying to shrink and shape up now though...do you lift? My core responded very well to body weight exercises but now that I am lifting (albeit only recently at a consistent rate), I am already noticing some newbie progress for sure!

You are right, I should have placed defy in parenthesis as I didn't literally mean it.

Yes genetics plays a role in how we are shaped and where our fat is stored but like a couple folks pointed out, we can defy genetics!! I am defying genetics now by building myself some thicker legs while losing my upper body! It's easy for me to hold weight at the top while losing at the bottom which sucks!! Thankfully…

5'8 and 155. Easily a six-eight on bottom and 10 on top. I too have an "athletic build" from cardio and weight training. Once my arms shrink a bit more, my shirt size will drop. I have a 27 3/4 inch waist so the tens are easily too big in the torso area but I don't like tight sleeves.

My lower half is getting shapelier due to my weight training... Loosely following one of Bret's programs. Arms are Trying to become shapelier. Friends/family are turning to me for fitness/nutrition guidance. I begin my journey as a part time aerobics instructor next month. Resting heartrate is consistently between 55 and…
