Amen!

Makes absolute sense. Seriously no need to justify it, for those who actually understand functional movements, you don't need to explain yourself.

My last post was for you

Thank you for commenting! Some people just don't get it, they think they do, but they don't.

There are always d-bags who are going to hate on crossfit. My guess is he tried it once, got sore and hates on people's PR's. take your ignorance somewhere else. Good for you MUAlaurenclark! I struggle with OHS's. I PRed on deadlifts, 255lbs for my 1 rep. Getting close to 300!

Starting pic is around 207, but I started at 220. The right pic is around 175. My lowest was 173.8 but I am doing strength training and I am currently sitting around 175-179. But I am very happy with my results. I am gaining lots of muscle :D

Starting pic was about 207 lbs. My highest weight ever was 230 while I was pregnant. I lost 10 measly pounds and started my journey at 220 lbs. I used weight watchers (I hated paying which is why I stopped) and got to 207lbs before I found myfitnesspal. My lowest weight was 173.8 but I am sitting around 175-179 now…

Major difference you look great!!

I have one daughter who is almost 2 years old. I started working out and using MFP about 10 months ago. Progress between pics is 10 months

Also I do Crossfit and it's serisusly the most amazing strength/cardio training I have ever done. I would recommend checking out a local crossfit gym and see if they offer an intro class so you get an idea of what it's like! Also between the two pics was about 10 months (march 2012-January 2013)

^^This. I have this book. It's really great.

Wow these are great! I am truly inspired. I can't wait to be where you all are. More pics ladies!

Bumping this back up. I know you are out there ladies!

Be very careful with your form and kettlebells. I pulled a muscle when I first started doing the form wrong. Make sure you thrust with your hips and squeeze your butt cheeks. Like someone is trying to stick a finger in your butt. Sounds gross but it totally works. I incorporate kettlebells with my crossfit workouts so not…

:) thanks everyone

I believe I posted what I did but I can again :) Started with MFP and 30 day shred plus going outside for a mile walk. Some days I would double up on these some days not. Then I finished 30DS and did Insanity plus jogging outside. Again some days I doubled it some days not. I also added in 1x a week Zumba Then I was doing…

Thanks again for all the kind words! I never knew this post would get so many responses So I started at 220, but in that pic I was around 207, I had lost a little bit before the pic, but it was only with dieting. The before pic I was 207 and hadn't exercised in years. My current weight is about 174-175 depending on the…

Seriously you all are making me blush. I keep looking at this thread and I can't believe how many people responded. You know how to make a girl feel loved :) I seriously never thought I would reach this point and I am only going to keep pushing myself to be stronger. If you think you can't do it, you are wrong, you can. I…

bumping these are great!

Woo thank you all so much. It's taken me 27 years to get to this point in my life and I never want to get that big again or that out of shape!

Hmmm I don't really look at carbs but it varies. It says my goal with 1360 calories a day is 186 carbs per day. If I exercise, let's say I do crossfit and I burned 1300 calorie,s my goal went up to 365. I hope this helps. For dinner I usually try and eat a protein and a veg and eat my carbs during the day.

I started with 30 day shred (baby steps people, 25 minutes was a lot for me back then lmao) and maybe going for a mile walk, some days I did both, some I did none, some I only did one. I started off working out 5-6x a week. I also used MFP to watch my calories. Then I did insanity. I scaled that back and did it about 4x a…

I had a c-section. I had the little belly and overhang. These pics are about 10 months worth of work.

Man what a bunch of @ssholes. Any way a few of my go to frozen items are frozen stir fry's. They have usually a ton of veggies, chicken and a tiny bit of pasta. They have a lot of them in the frozen food section and they aren't high in sodium. I think usually will add my own additional frozen or fresh veggies and sometimes…

Thank you for your kind words and prayers

Sorry for delayed response. MFP and exercising really jump started my weight loss. I started with 30 day shred and then moved onto insanity. I also swam in the summer and jog outside. I try and workout 5-6 days a week (even if that means just a short 1 mile walk it's better then nothing). I also do Zumba 1x a week with a…

I am done month 1!

Let's see. I started 220 lbs and I am now down to 178. I started with working out doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. I did that about 4-5x a week along with jogging/walking 2-3x a week. I also did ab ripper 2x a week. I worked out 6x a week so some days I would double up, like I would do JM 30DS and then go for a quick 1…

thank you! you all are an amazing support

I dieted last year and lost about 20 lbs. Since March of this year I started working out and have lost another 20 lbs. 13 lbs or so were from 30 day shred which I completed near the end of May. The other 7 have been from insanity. I do random P90x videos here and there for weights but nothing strict. I have been strictly…
