You and I are really similar! I’m sitting at 150 lbs, I lift + cardio and eat 40% protein, 40% fat, 20% carbs. I’ve been sitting around 1,200- 1,300 calories a day, and wondering if I should eat more. What made you choose to eat 1,490 a day?

Thanks all! I lowered my calories a lot (I'm sitting around 1,000 now) and increasing cardio to see if I can burn off some fat before building more muscle. I definitely feel a lot less bloated, and I've lost a couple pounds already. You guys are a great resource!

Yes I jumped, and yes I increased at the time I started lifting heavier. I have lifted throughout my entire weight loss journey.

I'm 5'3", 24 years old and I have a desk job. I have Hypothyroidism so yes, I do have a very slow metabolism. I weigh all food in a food scale, and anything measured in volume I measure in a measuring cup. I've been lifting for most of my weight loss, but I started pushing to lift heavier more recently. Right now I've been…

Thanks everyone! I'm definitely trying to change the shape of my body with lifting. I allowed myself to eat a higher calorie count to hit my weight in grams of protein, and that's where I ended up at the 145 lbs purple pants photo. I'm just not sure if I should be eating to gain muscle or eating to lose weight, since I…

Thank you! I do cardio in spurts, where I'll start to feel really flabby so I'll do it for a week, then quit again. When lifting I try to run a few laps before my workout and then after for a warm up/cool down, but lately the gym has been so packed I just go straight to lifting when something is actually open. I would like…

Love seeing how different weight looks on shorter girls! I'm 23 & 5'2"/3" with two kids. My first photo below was my highest weight, 225 in April 2014. I started working out and lost some weight, but ended up giving up within about 6 months, so I gained it all back. I started working out and eating healthy again in…

That is such an amazing accomplishment!

Amazing progress! :drinker:

Lose a total of 50 lbs by July 20 (we are going on vacation and I want to look decent in the pictures!). I JUST cut out pop and fast food, as well as starting walking an hour every night a few days ago. I'll start the shred on June 1st and then another workout video on July 1st (any suggestions?!) so I think it's an…

Awesome job! I'd love to know how you lost it so quickly! :happy:

Wonderful job! You look like you've lost more than just 27 pounds! :flowerforyou:

Great job! I definitely believe that you can reach your second goal! :happy:

Awesome job! You are even more beautiful now! :flowerforyou:

You look wonderful! Please photograph his face when he sees you :)

You look absolutely wonderful! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

I'm 5'3" and 19 years old. My goal is 115 lbs. If I weigh any more than that my face gets really fat. If I weigh any less I am unattractive to my sig. other ;)

Wow you look great! :) congratulations!
