Just Spectacular! Awesome Job.

<I'm half Chinese and half Black (or African American if you prefer) and I'd say people ask me at 2-3 times a week what my ethnic background is. I used to get irritated because I thought it was intrusive, but now I just shrug my shoulders since people can't seem to resist. I normally just tell people I'm an American, but…

ButterflyMark 23?

Wow. Just, WOW. Really.

H! Feel free to add me!

Hi there! Feel free to add me. I'm always looking to give and receive motivation! Good luck!

Drink more water and eat more veggies.

You are joking, right? Your back looks fantastic. No flabby rolls and tiny waist. You look great. I can't imagine what he means.

Such a motivation! I agree with you, when I look at older photos of myself, I didn't know I was soooooo chunky! Wishes for continued success to you.

Add me if you'd like :)

WTG! Solid work!

Congrats! Awesome progress!

Yes! I swim three times weekly for fitness. Great all over, no impact work out. I just get to the pool, take off my sweats and slip right in. Everyone else is immersed, too, so there's really nothing to see.

First, congratulations on your weight loss! Fantastic work. Second, if you want to rock a swim suit, do it! Confidence is what's attractive. You're clearly working hard towards your goals.

Cryptkeeper. Too funny! I get excited when someone calls me "Miss" instead of "Ma'am"

41 and healthier than I was in my 20s!

@fluffymommy - nice pedi! :)

Great job! You look AMAZING!

If you're an online shopper, try athleta.com and title9.com, they've got some great supportive sports bras that don't smush the girls. Lululemon also has some great ones (the tata tamer). At Target, Champion makes some farly decent sports bras, as well. Good luck on your first 5k!

Just turned 41. Fitter than in my 20s & 30s.

41- no kids by choice. Married to my best friend for 16yrs. Love my life!

Start lower and then gradually move up. I worked with a trainer a few years ago who had me do some weighted ankle strengthening exercises (point and flex) and it helped my ankle strength. They're so bad for you, but I LOVE wearing them. The higher the better! I'm either wearing athletic shoes or über high heels - more time…

@faughorn -a little Tina Fey-esque

I have a lot of super frizzy hair and I swim for some of my cardio. I find that if I shower twice I only rinse and condition the second time. Also, I'll apply a deep conditioning treatment twice a week before a workout or swim and it keeps things more manageable.
