Sorry about your divorce. I have 1 divorce under my belt as well lol. I’ve experienced abuse as well but in a different form. I am also a nursing student. (Ranked into LVN-didnt make RN but I will get it one day) I’ll add you! I love friends.

5’4” F SW 244lbs CW 152.8lbs I still have more to lose and it’s been hard with being an emotional disaster eater in nursing school and having a family affected by Covid. This journey began in 2/2018 after having my daughter. I gained a lot being high risk in hospital on bed rest. What can I say I was bored, on a reg diet…

You look phenomenal! How apart were the photos and your typical routine?

Love all these posts ! Very inspiring! Keep it up awesome ladies!

That’s amazing progress! Keep it up!

Whooooa!! You look phenomenal! You go!

In both photos you are absolutely beautiful! Your transformation is truly inspiring! And the way you worded and explained everything is SPOT on, you go girl!! Hope you don’t mind but I’d like to add you, I love having inspiring friends!

I think if you’re trying to increase mass I say go to gym. Strong lifts is a good workout routine however they encourage the use of a squat rack instead of smith machine. The planet fitness near me only has Smith machines. I still did it with if had to. If for whatever reason you can’t go to gym and you have no equipment…

Walked a lot, and low carb.

Your doing amazing! You’ll be there before you know it!

Amazing!!! Truly inspirational!

Thank you everyone 🥰

Hi! 30 here. Lost 75 lbs so far got 30 more to go! Feel free to add me guys.

I believe it is all the carbs accounted for. Depending on if you are strict keto , lazy or dirty it would be ok to consume.

This is amazing progress! I’m Keto ish ... lol since giving birth in February I’ve lost 60 lbs. feel free to add me :-)

Female TX 5'4 SW:244 CW:225 UGW: 145 Losing pregnacy weight and then some.

Thanks everyone for the info, I am hoping it is sooner than later. I do use the ramping method to help so I don't freak out with the air. lol. Love it. And my machine is completely silent unless I lose a seal and it makes weird funny noses. @SSpeakes No one warned me about the vivid dreams! I am having some deep ones. But…

When I did the follow up study to assess my pressure needed etc I used the masked and freaked out bc idk it felt like I was drowning and couldn't breath. Then the tech calmed me down and told me my system can be programmed to my number needed then push a button and it can take it's time from a lower setting to my request…

@sherryat I would talk to your doctor or pcp about your symptoms. It took a year of bitc**** to finally make my doctor realize it is NOT in my head and I am having symptoms even though my numbers are in good range. ALL OF THEM, I make him test it all. So finally he started to see how crazy my weight gain was and my hair…

Awesome! I am finishing up week 1 soon :-)

@Kellyfatbelly1 Like someone said, you neeed to change your name now to KellyFLATbelly or something. WTG! Awesome change, and yes it is crazy how drinking can change your body physically, mentally etc. @nichell88 Your transformation is amazing too! I am now starting to realize, that I need to be 5'6 too , lol

Thanks ladies for all the advice. My labs and thyroid hormones are in check and I go ever 6 to 8 weeks. All in great range. Having my cortisol checked too. And what someone said about always measuring even though I have done it thousands of times before and not guesstimate I will definitely do. Intake wise I haven't…

There are several machines that can measure rmr. Otherwise scientific studies that prove or disprove certain weight loss fat loss methods would not be known. My job is to complete and average of 20,000+ steps within my work schedule of 8 hours while pushing humans and objects. I do transport throughout an army hospital…

The 1744 comes from have my RMR measured and I also did a various of other body comp tests. I didn't take the Vo2 bc I have not had steady cardio or been trying to work on that. So this is the ultimate break down for RMR etc RMR ( 1744) Lifestyle ( 524) Exercise ( 0) 2268 Kcal Food (1768) My job is very very active. That…

I have heard of this too. And have been told by doctors more deficit more more more. To they drop me to 1200 cals, and even 900 cals but today I went to an Army Wellness Center on post and got my personalized RMR and my body fat through pod etc and my RMR is 1744 wayyyy off from doctors. I have been under eating and my…

Squatted and deadlifted*

I've squared and dealing before planet fitness at a gym on post using regular squat racks and my deadline was awesome at a higher weight my squats not so much I would always hear and feel the cracking in my knees and my form was correct my bf is a trainer and would always go and train with me.but I don't have access to…

There's dumbbells here and I know the different angles on how to use the Smith machine. I just wasn't sure if anyone else has used it and received decent results. Once it's over I'll find an affordable gym with a regular squat rack or cages.
