I'm 5'3. I range from 122-125 lbs sometimes within one day. During that "time of the month" I can get to 126-128. It's a range.I'm also a size 2. (that time of the month I do go to size 4 though! But that's to be expected!) My waist is pretty small. My shoulders are nice and wide. Just how I like em!

Because people can be mean, that's why they hide their diaries...or t they might be the ones who tell people like me I shouldn't be eating too many fish fillets from mcdonalds and candybars. Obviously it aint' hurting me. I've already had a couple people tell me I won't lose weight if I keep eating like do..except they…

I want to expound upon what I am doing is temporary. Just something fun to do while I am "MAINTAINING." Weight loss is one thing. Hypertrophy is another. And maintaining is a WHOLE other ballgame. Got to make it fun. I am not trying to lose weight. And currently not trying to put on more musculature at this time(later, but…

I'm currently doing this...but instead of Twinkies I'm eating a candybar a day and Mcdonalds Fish fillet and nuggets. So far...no weight gain. Just experimenting to see if I can maintain on a certain number of calories, no matter where they are from. Yup. I can.

I know some people do progressions. Inverted rows, keep putting the bar up..etc. Or do negatives.....or assisted....I did none of the above. Me? When I first started a few years ago I put a pullup bar outside my bathroom. I would make myself try to do at least 5 before I would let myself go pee..lol. In 3 weeks I went from…

I actually was a binger and I used to binge ALL the time- Fruits were one of them. I binged once on bananas and dates. I ended up throwing up. (I didn't make myself throwup. It just came up) The next time I just had an enormous raw food plate..I didn't binge but came darn near close. I was bloated for days(my body was not…

Rhett Butler...

NOTHING wrong with that at all. Refreshingly honest. Be proud. And To tell you the truth, I am not working out for strong bones and a good heart ...(although that comes with the territory) I am doin' it to look good naked! You are beautiful. We only live once. SHOW IT OFF!

After dating me..or marrying me and having two kids with me..most men say they will never date half filipino/white B#$t%es again. It definately takes more than the physical to keep it going....

I've commented on this before. I wear lulu lemon's sometimes..and yes they are expensive... Very. But they fit good. And yes, I work out HARD to fit into them. in my current pic(for now at least till I change it.. I am wearing Lucy's ...yet another expensive BRAND.) But I also wear cheap clothes I get at places like…

Agreed. And even if one's husband does buy lululemons'...you still gotta be the one to work your butt off to get into them!!!! I love lulu's..one of my bootcamp clients bought me some not too long ago. LOVE THEM! Maybe my client worked hard at her job to buy me lululemon's ...but I did a heck of a lot of deadlifts and…

Lol!! Isnt' that most guys...hee hee. Back when I was super skinny I had guys that liked me. Then when I got overweight..I still had men who liked me. Skinny again with flat *kitten* and missing boobs, there were still guys that were attracted. Fit with better glutes...even more guys. The one common thread amongst my time…

GREAT TRANSFORMATION!!!

Thanks for the positive comments guys! To answer some questions(really quick since I am on lunch!)- like someone said, heavy is relative. If you were only doing bodyweight lunges, all you may have to add is a few pounds to start seeing a difference. Plus...saying lift heavy is not all there is to it. you have to be able to…

For the LONGEST time I was on a weight loss roller coaster. I would hit my "small size" after being a bit bigger. Never too much but always on a roller coaster. I'd get to the version of supersize me..except it would be the superskinny version and wonder why I still wans't happy. Then I figured, "Well,maybe I am just not…

Deadlifts are a GIRLS best friend. Other favs- Bulgarian squats, curtsy lunges, HIGH bench stepups. (scratch that- I hate stepups, but they really helped with activating the glute.) And heavy weights. HEAVY. Not pink dumbells. You go into the weight room dominated by men and you take their IRON! I remember being so…

Wow. you are a beast! and you got that way with boxing and bodyweight! You are gonna blow people away when you start lifting iron! WOW! I AM JEALOUS! You look GREAT!

I soak some bread in some egg and then shape them so that they fit in muffin tins. Fill the muffin tins with liquid eggs(I use about a 1/4 of a cup for a 6 count tin) and chopped up already cooked sausage and put it in the oven for 350 and then just wait till the eggs are all done. Yum! I will grab about 2 or 3 with lunch…

I had two c-sections. Both emergency c-sections. My 2nd scar keloided...but I am still able to get into my bikini. It will always be slighlty raised( there is a difference between SCAR tissue and fat underneath.) ...but am able to get (USUALLY If I am good!) into a size 2! You can take a look at my pics. C-section belly…

bump...will make these!

I'm in too!

I was in the ARMy too! In fact i just did a podcast where I mention the exact thing!!! Did they give us preworkout shakes or a banana with some pb? heck no. They woke us the f**k up and tortured us with pushups and running..etc... and none of us starved... lol. That's how i know this 6 meal a day,,,,eating every 2-3 hours…

I exercise almost all the time on an empty stomach. I think since she reaches millions of people she has to play it safe and has to say what the usual recommendations are. But i get great results from working out fasted. I actually had to switch from morning workouts to pm due to my new work schedule. I feel so sluggish…

Oh my god.. I saw some stevia pop at the health food store...I am going to try it TONIGHT!

I like the veins! I actually just have one vein that is now very prominent..lol..right on my front delt. I actually like it!

I actually had someone say while I was doing a deadlift..."You must run alot." This person meant it as a COMPLIMENT. WTF. Hell no. I don't run. Why can't a woman look sexy and strong without being stereotyped as a cardio maniac? I was deeply offended. And yes...I am sexy and strong. ;)

Love this thread! I feel like the sole female at my gym who shuns the cardio machines. I love the first post in this thread. I'd love to have that postcard!

I am a chitown girl who is in MAINTenance!!!! I need more friends who maintain too!

I actually lost weight on Zoloft. Gained on lexapro but I did eventually lose it. I haven't taken Paxil but even if it might make weight loss more difficult than usual- you can over come it. I gained 10 lbs right away on lexapro. My appetite increased extraordinarily. Of course I was also super depressed too. Gaining…

SHE IS NOT A SCAM!! GRR!!! Yeah, I am a Venus. Thank Aphrodite for that. And heck yeah.. I look GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! Yes, I am VAIN. And if you want to know why...listen to my PODCAST. MUUHAAA! I can teach all the girls who were told they were UGLY, they were picked last for sports...that in the end ..you can go to your…
