2lbs is safe but not something I would personally aim for at 5'6" / 179lbs let alone someone of your stats. Set something that is more realistic and attainable. You will most likely be miserable and bummed out when you are cutting cals so low to try to achieve 2 lbs a week and it doesn't end up happening.

This.

Today is 150 days since I've picked up lifting again. Seemed like a really important day to take photos. 15lbs lost, body fat percentage is down 10-11%.

Today is 150 days since I've picked up lifting again.. I'm not sure where the bulk is. I look much tinier now

Awesome to see another mom who lifts on here! The fact that you lift period is impressive enough! My squat last year was max 115# but I wasn't pushing myself enough then stopped for seven months. Are you following a program or have a goal set? I found that making a goal of squatting body weight kept me going. I added 5lbs…

Day 1 (Jan 20) 183.5lbs, 31% body fat Day 145 (today) 170lbs, 22.5% body fat Mom of two. I can squat and deadlift my bodyweight. I eat 2200+ calories a day. You don't need to lose a lot of weight to make drastic changes to your body. :drinker:

Aren't you the same guy who babout women wearing yoga pants? lol

Last year, I was able to do the entire C25k program in 6 weeks but I wasn't running a 5K at that point.. I was able to run for 30 minutes (3.61km). This year, it took 2 months I think to run a 5k (36 mins). I started running this year for 22 minutes and upped my time each week to avoid injury. I am definitely running…

BMI is irrelevant...

Great transformation

You look so tiny now. Definitely see the effort you've been put in! Great job!

You look great!

Hi, Mom of 2 here. Logged on for 134 days so far. Feel free to add

Yes I run. No bike right now

yeah I do.. I made a route that said it was 5.21km but when I ran the route with GPS, it said I only ran 4.92km. I use Rundouble now to track my time/location. WiFi is always off.

No difference to me.. Unless your BF% is 14 and under OR really really high, I wouldn't be too worried. If you aren't already, try fertility friend. It helped us when we were trying for our second child, I got pregnant within the second month :) best of luck :)

How dare you talk so badly about soda?!?!? :devil:

Last year I finished C25k but couldn't run a 5k (or 3.1 miles).. I finished 2.63km or 3.63km in 32 minutes. This year I focused on being able to run for longer periods and I can do a 5k in 36 mins now. I think you have plenty of time to improve your time. Do that 13 week plan and decide today that you are going to do it.…

Never done more than 10gs a workout so I dunno...

First tip: forget how much you weigh and focus on the inches lost I'm 8 lbs less than you but I have lost a lot of inches and am in pretty good shape. Those 8 lbs lost were from January til now. Consider your loss a good one and keep pushing forward

I've been at it since January.. I'm encouraging but don't spend every moment on MFP. Feel free to add. I have about 12 scale lbs to go.

Yup!

I'm very naughty and have been only tracking my squats and deadlifts. Right now I'm at 170# 5,5,5,5,5 for squats and 1x5 for deadlifts. I've hit my goal of lifting my body weight on Friday. I started at 95# Squats and 100# DL at the end of February. This program really works!!
