You look amazing!! :) Great job. I myself think I might be focusing too much on lifting. Haha. Keep it up. :)

That's how I lost my first 30-40lbs, I love the latin Zumba, that was the only one I did because it was so much fun!! I haven't done it in awhile, and I've been missing it lately. Thanks for posting that, I'll have to bust out the dvd soon. :)

In the exact same boat. :) Size wise too. ;) It's nice not getting as sweaty, though my hands are icicles at the moment. I used to have a fan on me at work during the winter (last year) and this year not at all, in fact I'm thinking of getting a heater. Lol. I'm going to assume it's the weight loss, my friend is super…

Weightlifting is my advice as well. :) You're at the perfect weight and lifting will help you tighten everything up. Give it a try and if after 6 months it's not working (which would be surprising) come back and add that to the post. :) Good luck to you, just know you're beautiful the way you are as well, but of course…

I understand that, (you are GORGEOUS by the way!!) when I got down to 150 at 5'3" I was very happy with the way I looked (God blessed me in the T&A department) and I plan on getting back there again. :) We all look different at different weights even if we're the same height. I have a ridiculously large rack and therefore…

Also, grilled avocado is good. cut avocado in half, put flesh side down until you get a nice little grill mark, fill the hole where the "seed" was with freshly homemade (or store bough) salsa and squeeze a little lime juice and a dash of garlic powder... *drool*

Baked parmesan tomatoes. :) (ok sometimes I use fresh mozzarella but I'm sure you can sub in your favorite). Slice tomatoes, put in baking dish, drizzle with a little olive oil and fresh oregano, freshly ground black pepper, top with your cheese of choice parmesan/mozzarella.. bake 400 degrees for like 10 minutes. :) Yum,…

Weight training helps you burn a calories, not a ton but it's a longer burn, you burn I believe 48hours after you even stop lifting (even while you're sleeping). I'd still do cardio though for cardiovascular healthy and for the extra calories you miss when counting. When I first started lifting I kept it pretty simple, 3-4…

Amazing. :) I hear that, I've strayed from my path the last couple weeks and working hard to get back on it and push forward.. I was falling into complacency but I'm so far from done that I can't let myself get stuck just because I've lost weight. I'm only half way to goal, I'm going until I'm healthy and happy. I have…

You're freaking awesome!! Amazing job on your loss and congratulations on your life, sounds like you pushed past those issues we all have in the beginning with excuses. Hardest thing to overcome in my opinion
-
Awww, that was so nice!! :)
-
Nice job on the weight loss, I admire your handwork and discipline. I worry about the loose skin too, I mostly have it in my lower stomach. :( but I'd rather be smaller and have loose skin than almost 300 lbs like before. :) I think you look really really good, I don't really even notice the skin, I'm in awe of what you…

I'm currently in a weight plateau, but the inches are still coming off... maybe look towards measurements more. I've been at the same weight for like 5-6 weeks but lost 4-5 inches in my waist in one month, and inches off arms and thighs... so don't worry, keep working on it and push through. Start measuring also? That…
-
I hear ya, my arms are still gross but I've noticed the little roll in them is gone now, now I'm just worrying about the batwings. Lol. Lift heavier weights, that's what I do. Back and Bi's one day, Chest/Shoulders/Tri's the next. Keep upping your weight, you'll get there, it's all about losing fat and gaining muscle.…

Lol Bumpity bump bump here too

Well, when I was on the swim team in high school sometimes I wouldn't get a period or it would be super light from all the crazy workouts we did. So I believe that exercise and your diet could totally mess with your menstrual cycle. When I was a lot bigger than I am now/less active I would get my period maybe once ever 4…
-
Same here, I am more than willing to help too. :) You are more than welcome to add me, I love new friends and am always happy to be supportive. :)
-
Yay! I always love your posts. :)
-
Hehe, you can totally use that line, gotta say it with some sass though. ;) Conviction. :)
-
So, I'm not quite to 100 lbs weight loss yet but I'm over half way! Wow... that just hit me... I know I've come so far but I feel like I have so far to go. Just know that you are working your way towards a healthy you! :) It's taken me awhile to get to this point in my weight loss but the momentum is picking up the more I…
-
"I'm at my goal, happy to be and stay here, any further comments are just a reflection on your insecurities" jk jk, that last part would probably blow some skinny girl gaskets. Lol. Just tell them in private that you are at your goal weight, maintaining and very happy to have accomplished so much this year. Let them know…

I've noticed at work that the higher up management guys used to kind of just say hey when they walk by, now they stop and talk to me, a couple even flirt and I caught one of them staring at my *kitten* last week! It's definitely a self-esteem booster when hot guys at work are telling me I look good... and I've only lost…
-
Congratulations!!! That's amazing!! I'm kind of wanting to get a bike too, the Twin Cities is amazing for bicyclists! I feel like everyone is turning to biking!! I work like 10 minutes (by car) away, maybe that would be a nice alternative to my gas guzzling pos car. Lol. But wow, what a transformation!!! :)

Hello!! My name is Lisa and I live in Bloomington. :) The past 3 months I've really developed a love for the gym, especially lifting!! I love to lift!! When I get a chance I also enjoy lap swimming. I'm always up for doing new things though, so I'm always looking for fun new ways to exercise.
-
That's an AMAZING idea!!! Wow!! Hope you don't mind but I kind of want to do that now! Lol. Start with Bloomington and Edina and move on from there. :)
-
I'm more excited to fit into my old clothes again, lol, I have so many cute clothes that I want to get back into. Especially my jeans, sweaters and hoodies... oh gosh and my black peacoat... It's hard to find cute clothes in bigger sizes so I'm happy to see some of them going. :) I'm not quite back to my "old" size but I'm…
-
AMAZING!!! :) Great job! :)
-
EXACTLY!! One of my co-workers saw me working hard and she took it upon herself to lose weight and now she's doing way better than me!! Lol. It's something we bond over and talk about often and share tips. My family members ask me questions now on how to get healthier, there are always those though that want to bring you…
-
Yeah, I'm sorry your feelings were hurt. I can understand that, every time I eat something healthy my sister-in-law gets all like "oh good for you!!" ... like every time I do something healthy... which is several times a day. yeah thanks for the comments but I know she's being kind of snide about it.. like, are you always…
