CW: 193.2. Dec 25 GW: 153.2 Final GW: 150-155 **I'm 5'9"** It would be amazing if I could do this by Christmas. In all reality, it would be amazing if I lost 30 by Christmas and I would be thrilled!!! But it's good to have goals, right?! :)

I used this site years ago and lost 50 lbs in 11 months. I maintained that for 2+ years... then I had a baby In 2013 and never got back to my pre-pregnancy weight...and then I had ANOTHER baby summer of 2015! So now I have about 40 lbs to lose! I'm looking for new committed friends, because like you, most of my pals from…

I'm 5'9 157 lbs 23.7% BF Thighs: 23 Calves: 14.5 My thighs are my nemesis. Every part of my body has shrunk down nicely and i'm seriously content or quite happy with everything BUT my thighs. They haven't budged over the last 20 lbs lost...

I get comments like that from time to time, although I think most of my friends and family are used to my new "skinny" look :happy: ...I'm 5'9" and weigh 157. I REALLY want to lose 7-12 more lbs still and people always act like i'm crazy. I get comments from co-workers and friends asking, "Why do you workout so much?…

You look SMOKIN' HOT!!! :smile: ...And you look about 10 years younger! Congrats on all your success...you definitely earned it! :flowerforyou:

AMAZING JOB KALEE!!! Way to stick to the challenge even when you felt crummy for 7 days of it! I can especially tell in the jeans picture that you lost inches around your belly & hips!!! Keep up the hard work, girlie & you'll reach your 127 goal in no time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is informative for people looking for some good ways to switch it up or who are just starting out. And #15 has been key for me! Working out with my husband makes the good days more fun & the hard days more bearable :laugh:

I also have the Polar FT4 with the chest strap. It gauges that I burn anywhere rom 350-550 calories doing the various hardcore P90X workouts for about 55 minutes. I think it's very accurate. *I am 5'9 & about 155 lbs*

Fast/Easy Breakfasts that always make me feel satisfied: oatmeal...and add some fruit to it to make it even more filling. a banana and bowl of cereal hard-boiled eggs. I make a few in the beginning of the week and then just grab 1 in the morning to have with toast or 1/2 a bagel.

^This!

Feel free to friend me!!!! I am on day 49 today :happy:

Done with 48 days now :smile: only 42 days to go :ohwell: I'm really hoping to see some good results during the last 1/2 and i'm going to be kicking it up a notch with extra activities throughout the week (biking, walking, basketball) so hopefully i can share some good results when it's all said & done!

I'm going to be checking these out!

My husband is about 12%...so i'm going with between the 10-14 :laugh:

strawberry licorice will make your hair grow faster

If I had stuck to doing P90X everyday I would be on day 65 today...but since i've been doing it closer to 4-5 x per week I am only on day 46 today... I need to buckle down and get in gear! I want to reach day 90 by before my anniversary in July!!!!!!!!!!!! How is everyone else doing? Still pressing play everyday?

I looks like you lost WAY WAY WAY more than 5.5 lbs and 7 inches from your waist & hips...simply incredible!!!!

haha i wrote a brief overview of this in the initial post but here's a few more details: It took me approximately 10 1/2 months to lose the weight. For the first 2 months I was just walking 1-2 hours per day and eating 1,200 calories per day. I only lost 4 lbs and decided I HAD to kick it up, so I convinced my husband to…

:smile: :happy: :blushing: :laugh: thanks everyone!

:flowerforyou: Awesome!!! And now just imagine, if you can do that in one week, where you will be a couple months from now!!!

The convert bailey said i'm 21.8% The military said i'm 24.1% I'd say the miliary one is more accurate. I've tried all kinds of these sites & calipers lately and am always between 23-24. I'd stick to that one if I were you. But whatever you chose, then just only use that one from now on to measure so that you can see your…

Is there such a thing as your body's "happy weight?" I have been stuck between 152-157 for the last 11 months. In those months I have tried going to the gym 5-6x per week (cardio machines & strength training), incorporating long walks throughout the week, completing the 30 day shred, biking, palying golf & basketball, and…

Way to BRING IT! Incredible progress!!!! You look terrific!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou: (sidenote: i'm doing P90X and loving it...it's such an intense but wonderful program)

I am the one and only in the United States :smile: I guess I can thank my husband for my ridiculous last name!

Sorry, I have to agree. One of my biggest pet peeves! 1 lb = 1 lb ...the difference is that muscle takes up way less space. However, I don't think you could have possibly gained 8 lbs of muscle OR fat in 2 weeks. It's most likely water. How is your sodium intake? Sodium retains water!

My husband is the best. Hands down. I've actually written a blog about him before because he's so awesome, titled, MY HUSBAND ROCKS! It makes me sad when I hear about spouses / significant others that sabatoge efforts and don't support their loved one... My husband supports me in everything I do. He has called me sexy and…

How does ANYONE even think that THAT looks good? I read the short article and according to that she only takes her daughter tanning in the backyard...isn't that bad enough? Put some sun screen on your kid and don't make them bake in the sun!

I started P90X *lean* in March and love it...I've never done Power 90 but I'm sure it's also a great program. Depending on how physically fit you already are should probably be your determining factor. If you've been working out already and think that you're both in good shape, then I'd say go right into P90X!

You look terrific!!!! Congratulations on your new body...you definitely earned it :smile:

Exactly what she said! ...I don't want to have tattoos when i'm old & wrinkly!!!! But they look hot on my husband (at least for now lol :wink: )
