To lose another 1/2 inch off of my arms! I managed to lose a half within the last two weeks bringing me down to 11". That took for freaking EVER.. Months on Top of months with everything else disappearing.. Hopefully this last half inch won't take as long! :-)

5'8 Current weight 140 Goal weight 135 I wouldn't mind a fluctuation between 135 and 143.

You can clearly see my 4 pack... The other two are hiding under some loose skin... Not bad for a mother of FOUR. ;) Attended a work conference and two seperate people wanted to know "where the rest of me was"... They were So used to seeing me pregnant or between babies with "baby weight". Lol smh I constantly get that I…

OMG this is SO TRUE!! For like a YEAR there my friends were lamenting the fact that they never saw me or I never wanted to hang out... I just didn't have time... Between work, hubby and the kids, my Only spare time was in the gym (where I got the chance to bond with other like minded folks!! Lol), so if they couldn't meet…

Awww one of those, SO PROUD OF HER, moments, even though I don't know you! lol The change is just remarkable already..sounds like outside AND inside. :-)

I'm f5'8.. I thought 155 would Def have me where I wanted to be; it did not....It's funny how your goals and perception of what's fit changes the more informed you become of weight training And nutrition. I'm at 140 and I still have a layer on my arms that I'm trying to deficit off. Lol I told myself that I'm stopping at…

That maybe just maybe you will have to come to terms with some aspects of your body/shape, that weight loss and training just can't change.

People feeling like they have to "explain themselves" when they eat crap in front of me... Heck, I eat "crap" TOO (sometimes), I just count mine! Being told that I too need someone to feed me a sandwich. Lol Coworkers wanting to know All the details of how I lost weight and then suggestions (that they haven't started…

To lose these LAST five pounds.. Can't go ANY lower!! To lift HEAVY (I've BEEN lifting my body weight for a while) three days a week no matter WHAT! I purchased an Olympic bar and weights for the house. I'll use these until I max out the weights... I know that it's difficult gaining any muscle in a deficit, but I hope that…

Your arms and shoulders look great! Do you care to share your mixed feelings? :-)

Great job!

Thank you so much for the plethora of information! I'm still making my way through all of the pages. Question: Obviously you are highly educated on fitness and nutrition; who are your "go to" authors/websites to stay informed of RELEVANT information for both areas and not the crap that can be found in half of the online…

Thank you for the details. You certainly look Amazing, Fantastic progress! :-)

What additional benefit does the kettle bell provide that SL does not??

Shower then eat.. Always in that order. It helps to relax me and I feel clean of gym germs while eating. :-)

Hmm I haven't had COPIUS amounts of food in a longgg time... I've had more calorically dense foods take me over goal sometimes than "a lot"'of food...The times that I've tried going IN on a couple of occasions made my stomach hurt from trying to stuff it. Lol I think though that part of the "over stuffed" feeling was…

5'8 Currently 142 (up from 139) GW 135 I have some fat on my upper arms that refuses to leave; I'm happy with everything else! SIGH My bottom half can't afford to get Any smaller, but I'm going to risk it to SEE if I can get the arms that I want (10" or less instead of 11")

Great job! I'm always SO impressed by runners.. Becoming a runner is certainly a goal of mine! I'm a Cardio Class QUEEN ..Zumba, kickboxing etc - I'm a beast- however running is still eluding me...One day I'll commit! Lol What's your regular workout routine?? :-)

Great job!! There is no time like the present for Anyone to make lifestyle changes for the better, but I Love it even more when I see YOUNG adults take back their lives!

How quickly did you notice a difference? Are you eating in a surplus? What's your progress thus far in that area? I've established my glute workout schedule and I'm Really starting tmr no matter what. I've been doing lots of body weight exercises (and they really have worked for me in terms of sculpting) but I'd like to…

Well my mini goal was to get under 140 pds.. I got there last week and then ate my way back up.. I know it's mostly water retention but it still sucks. Lol Soooo current mini goal is to get back under.. I'm really working to decrease my body fat a bit more...

Skinny belts!! LOVE them! They look the way that they are supposed to now. Lol Fitted workout shirts instead of tshirts. Baggy shirts just don't look right on me any longer.

I'm 38, 5'8, 140lbs as of today (YAYYY). EASILY small on bottom...s/m on top due to my arms and (now) shoulders.. My arms are my last trouble area (11.25 inches) I was a size 12 last year around this time, 193 lbs... We have four children with the youngest having just turned two; I'm still nursing too! It's DEF possible…

You have Not reached a plateau; for your height and weight you can certainly go lower! As a few posters have said, reevaluate your CICO and keep going!! While you ARE beautiful exactly where you are, it wouldn't hurt to have some wiggle room for weight fluctuations and life! :)

I don't know about 2 pounds making a difference but 5 CERTAINLY does for me... Something that I did NOT anticipate... I was just told today that Someone needs to feed me a sandwich!! When truthfully I've been pretty lax the last two weeks and eating LOTS of sandwiches.. The scale has gone up and I'm already seeing it in my…

Great progress!!

That's phenomenal that you and your husband do so many fitness activities together! It would be great if MINE was so inclined! He works a LOT and I tend to have to drag (sometimes unwilling lol) friends and family members for my excursions! You have certainly given me an idea with your "triathlon" type days...after my…

Great job! You DID IT!

Congratulations!! Beautiful!

I accomplished one mini goal: was over the top cute as Matron of Honor at my sister's wedding... Size 4 dress and still wore a dressy belt to cinch the waistline a bit more. Current mini goal is six more pounds of fat loss down to 135 before starting a lower body bulk...
