Thanks for the advise!! So, just to give a bit more background; I've been doing at least 4 to 5 cardio classes a week (mainly because I love them and the way they make me feel) with two strength training classes a week, for the past year (since July 2015). This regiment hasn't conditioned my body enough you think, in terms…

I'm a "RUNNER" nowwwww (I think, lol)Learning to run has been on my bucket list for quite some time now, but I never really committed! While on vacation this past weekend, (and away from all of my cardio classes and Dumbbells) I elected to TRY to run with my sister and asked her to please keep My slow pace, if she didn't…

My original goal was 164 to be within a healthy BMI, got there and was not Nearly small enough... Second goal was 155 then 145 and now it's 135.... no matter what, I can Not go any smaller than that.. As of this morning I am 141lbs at 5'8... I'm thinking my range will be between 135-140 due to strength training and water…

I'm generally a happy go lucky person as well, but losing this weight has made me happiER. Looking down at a pretty small waist makes me smile every time. :-)

Hmm a part of me would feel a certain type of way.. I understand folks are attracted to what they are attracted to, but Man, I'd find it a bit hard to get past them waiting to find me good enough to hit on. Like no, no....if you couldn't like me then, then you can't even dream of the goodies now. Lol I can see it from both…

Just one day at a time and you DID IT.

Yeah, I've had four Fitbit Charge HRs replaced within the last year and a half.. Broken strap twice, lost the charge too quickly and just stopped working... Thankfully they always replaced them with no problems.. Only with my last replacement did they ask me to send back the broken device... Didn't even THINK to sale the…

Two pounds from the 130s... I think the scale was inaccutate two months or so ago when it told me I was 138 because I'd been 143-145 ever since! I've been holding steady at 141.6ish the past week on diff scales so I'm thinking that is right. Lol To get the last two packs of my six pack EVENTUALLY and have a LITTLE more DEF…

I'm a licensed Zumba instructor as of Sunday and I already have a couple of gigs in place! Lol I requested a month to fine tune some of my Own routines before putting this show on the road! :-) I am indeed a Cardio Queen but I've firmly incorporated weights (outside of my Body weight which I've been doing for over a year)…

Awesome! How long did it take to get your side split?! :-)

Beautiful! You really look like one of the kids!!!

Great job, beautiful!

Amazing loss! Way to pick yourself up by the bootstraps!

You are on your way!! Loving the confidence!

Yeah, I have lines on my forehead that were NOT there, not even faintly..SIGH ...just thanking God that they haven't appeared anywhere else YET. Lol smh

That you (could) literally become obsessed with everything related to fitness. Most of your conversations (that you enjoy) are related to what classes you and others have taken that were great, how much you are lifting, etc. Meeting over exercise (instead of lunch) is your norm..

Great job on recognizing and implementing... Not always easy (for anyone wanting to break habits) but you did it! :-)

Congrats on the loss! What tool did you use to gauge your muscle increase and bf% decrease?? :-)

Well I can just walk into a store and pick up a SMALL shirt now, as evidenced by my trip to two diff stores yesterday!!....I have been whining about my arms in most posts that I've submitted on MFP so this is quite the accomplishment for me. LOL! :-) My waist and lower body have BEEN small..just goes to show that your body…

Well, except for your BODY WEIGHT for hours at a time! ;)

Great job!!

Yep, I too had a stranger at work stop me to mention how great I looked.. It made my day because she was SO serious like "what the hell; what did you do!?"... She remembered I'd "just had" the baby ( he is two so there really isn't a "just had" timeframe here) and wondered how the heck I'd gotten so "skinny"... I said well…

I comfortable rode a bike with friends around Key West and barely broke a sweat or had to stand out of the seat. It's crazy how you don't even know how fit you are/are becoming until you are amongst your peers and they are unable to do things which feel so natural to you!

I have a "small frame" (small wrists and ankles) and I've really reached the conclusion that although I look fit and thin in clothes, for me to look fit and thin After I eat and outside of clothes I'm going to have to continue to lift in a small deficit.. I have to decrease my bf a bit more.. So ten more pds from currently…

I tried and HELD a HEADSTAND for several seconds on my FIRST try! Wouldn't have ever dreamed I'd be this fit again at 38!!

That you will be a friggin role model to EVERYONE around you. Even folks that you don't know personally have noticed your loss and are watching you!! :-) That you will embrace that "responsibility" and become even more diligent in your regiment.. That you will answer all of their questions (repeatedly) and hope that they…

Wow! Such an inspiring story! Loving how supportive your wife has been all the way through! :-)

My midsection is really tightening up! My stomach and waist have responded pretty well all along to my fitness (and weight loss) regimen.. But my back was lagging behind a bit.. Went to scratch it today and thought THIS is what I'm talking about! Still have a bit more to go but I'm sure that the body weight exercises and…

Wonderful progress! I love your energy just through this post! It sounds life you have really grabbed life and your goals by the horns. Kudos. :-)

That working out would become my social outlet. Instead of meeting over food, meeting over a vigorous or NEW exercise would be more appealing. :-) That saying lets GO would be music to my ears basically all of the time...Let's go skating, hiking, biking... Whatever it is my friend girls, sisters, or kids want to do, and I…
