I am doing the 30 day shred, I love planks (hahaha sounds odd, most people hate them!, something about the ability to push myself while doing something as simple as lifting myself up!).... I love to run... I believe the running helps a ton!!! And I think I have just always had that "V" when I was in shape, so its been…

Thank you so much! right now I am doing the 30 day shred.... but I love to power walk or do jogging/walking intervals... Lift some weights at the gym... nothing in particular :) Its all in the diet!

Thank you! It says "what doesnt kill you can only make you stronger" .... :)

Thank you very much!!! Hard work does pay off!!! Still going, but its now enjoyable!!

My starting weight was 176. I am now 149. I would like to be around 138 ishh, but mainly just want to tone up after about another 10 lbs lost :)

you are awesome!!! such an inspiration!!! I dont remember the last time i was under a size 9... I was in shape, and looked good, but i am a very curvy girl and have always had a big butt! lol. A size 7 would be amazing!!! goals!!!

thanks to all of you lovely ladies for the kind words!!! I was always told it was wayyy harder to lose the weight after the 2nd child... I didnt believe it, until I had my second child!!! I think everyone is different obviously, but it is hard! I have friends that are pregnant and eat terrible, I keep trying to tell them…

by the way, my boys are 5 and 1 1/2 for those that are curious :)

well here is one extreme to another lol.... I was around 195ishhh when full blown pregnant... I kept on a lot of that weight for awhile...When my son turned 18 months I decided I needed a change! I was still at 176... I started eating healthy, working out, and working my asssss off! Now im at around 148, I am still working…

I am 5'8, and now at 149... started at 176 :)

Hi! I am pushing for close to the same goals!! I am 5'8 started at 176lbs, currently at 148 lbs, I would like to get to 138 :) feel free to add me!!!

aww thank you!!! I am in love with these sun glasses!!! lol

thank you all sooo much! everyone is so kind!!! It is such a confidence boost!!! I hope everyone here gets to the point where they feel like sharing their before and after photos!!! self esteem is one of the biggest benefits to weight loss for me!!!

Thank you so much!!!! It really is all in diet!!! working out is extremely beneficial, and essential, but if you eat junk you can't expect to be healthy!!! lifestyle change indeed :)

I am 5'8- 5'9 depending on who is measuring me lol... My beginning weight was 176, i am now 149 and i would like to be 138 :)

I have been searching for a before photo... but i stayed away from the camera, and always had a long sleeve on because i was so insecure about them!!! just eating healthy and working out in general will slim down your entire body, including arms... I do use some free weights, maybe 10 lbs for bicep curls... i do push ups,…

true story!

thank you!!! if i can ever afford it i want to finish my sleeve!!! haha this work of art was put on hold when I got pregnant with my youngest, and he will be 2 in september!!! I am getting married on the beach in September, and my goal was to get my sleeve finished and have my boob job.... along with toning my arms up (who…

so awesome! congrats!!! You must be so proud :)

You are awesome!!! I would love to keep each other motivated! strength training is great because your body continues to burn calories after your workout :) I have done sooo much research and really educated myself on fitness and nutrition! I am a stay at home mom so what else do i have to do? lol Thank you for commenting!

I really have not done anything insane! no crazy workouts, other than the warrior dash i did a couple months ago. Its all in the diet ladies!!! and you can do it!!!

thank you!!! I dont think people understand how motivated I get to continue on when i hear i have motivated others!!! I changed a few things... My diet was not terrible before, it was my portions that were out of control. I could out eat a football player! and i would eat one or two large meals a day!!! Now I try to eat…

thank you ladies!!! I have two boys, 5 and 20 months, so I am afraid my hips will never go back to how they were pre baby, but if i can lose the weight and look good, anyone can!!!

So awesome!!! Seeing changes in your clothes is wayyy more rewarding then changes on your scale :)

you're a wise man :)

Control is my issue :) im a control freak, especially when it comes to my boys!!! lol and Thank you, I use a great moisturizer! they say 96 is the new 21 :)

I am 5'8 and when I started this I was 176lbs (March 31st) I am now down to 153. I hated when people would tell me it takes time, but it does... My least favorite comment was "you didnt gain it over night, so you wont lose it over night" but it does make sense!!! The biggest things I changes was my portion control, alcohol…

I also checked it out and sent you a shout out :) my page is http://www.facebook.com/lifeexposeaz

annddd... it didnt take me years to put on the weight, lol before my last pregnancy i was what my goal is now... for some reason i havent been able to get hardly any of that weight i put on during pregnancy off, i heard with the second child the weight loss is a lot harder, but i didnt believe it until i lived it! lol

lol half of what you said i didnt understand haha, can you tell im an amateur??? i didnt expect to lose 3 lbs a week, but like i said, thats just what MFP said when i finished my diary for yesterday.... im not sure if thats because i ran off 720 calories, but didnt eat them all back.... i tried, believe me, but i didnt…
