My calves and thighs are stretching out the seams in my skinny jeans. I’ve been strength training for the past year and I thought there wasn’t a huge change to how I look over all but because of how tight my jeans are in some places I’ve noticed a lot more muscle definition in my quads and calves. :)

I am getting older and I get tired easily and I feel it will just be a snowball effect if I don’t create good eating habits and working out habits now.

I was 35 when I started. I went through a lot of trials and errors to figure out correct eating habits and workout routines and how to continuously challenge myself. I was mostly doing cardio and some strength training. I was 37 when I was at my lightest weight 48 lbs down. That was the lightest I've been since my teens. I…

Daily. I weigh first thing when I wake up. I like to see trends since I log my food everyday and I like to see how my weight goes up and down with workouts and the food I eat. Sometimes when I see an increase in my weight in the morning that motivates me to workout more to have a greater calorie deficit for that day. It…

20.6 lbs so far about 15 more to go

I like running in the morning

I definitely understand where you are coming from. This is something I struggle with in this journey. My husband has been such a tremendous help at helping me face my fears. I've been trying to lose the weight on and off for years almost 1/2 my life and I realized recently that I would stop losing the weight whenever I…

An acquaintance at work told me that I lost weight and proceeded to say that she wants to be like me one day. That totally blew my mind. Me? Who wants to be little old me? That is when I looked in the mirror and finally saw the changes she saw. I didn't notice the changes until she made me actually look for the changes. It…

That is awesome news!! Well done!!

That is such an incredible feeling when others notice and it is such a great motivator. ;) Congrats!!!

Woot woot!! That's awesome!! :)

When I told my sister that I've been working out every weekday for two months straight. She said she wished she could be like me. That was a boost to my ego because I look up to her for workout inspiration.

"Make your body the sexiest outfit you own"

The moment you can finally retire some of the clothes you wore regularly because they are too big.

When I realized all of the junk food I couldn't live without no longer sound appetizing to me.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your story. I just started running I'm on day three. I've never been able to run before but I am trying now. Thanks for all of your tips I will try to keep them in mind.

Health reasons. Also I hated when I used to go out shopping and nothing would fit, I don't want to go back to that anymore. I just stopped caring about how I looked. Now I just want to feel good about me. And now it feels good to be complimented on the clothes I am wearing. My husband keeps me motivated and is always…
