Amazing girl, LOVE IT!!!!!

I'll add ya girl!

I have some posted somewhere here in Success Stories.

You got this!! It doesn't happen overnight... you just have to keep coming back and believing in yourself and realizing you are WORTH it. Because you are. Tomorrow is a new start, commit to it, and then do it again on Tuesday. Think of it as a daily goal. Not in terms of weeks or months or pounds. Just day-by-day. Make…

I started SO basic. A stability ball was usually my bench--I figured it just added to my core work. I also had an olympic bar and a set of dumbbells that went up to 25lbs, plus a pair that were 35's. A few tubes, a chin-up bar and I got started. In fact, I used to do my step-ups from NROLFW using my coffee table!! It was…

I was happy with how my abs were looking by March or so, so IDK... about 15 months or so. March was a huge push for me, b/c my husband and I were doing a trip together to the Bahamas. There are pics in my profile! :)

You're already a sixth of the way there, GO GO GO! I suggest monthly goals and then check them off. Don't focus on the big numbers, focus on what you can accomplish in 30 days. :)

Shoot! I think we have to be friends for you to see it... let me go try to change the settings, otherwise send me a FR... www.facebook.com/leslie.kortes

Thanks Glenn and thanks everyone!! It's been fun to be on MFP through this whole journey!

I run monthly ones on FB and have an ongoing CLX group going too. Such an awesome group of women/moms!! Find me on FB... www.facebook.com/leslie.kortes or inbox me here.

Ya know, I just used NROL4W as a 2 month filler during the summer, b/c it was easy to do while on-the-go/vacations/etc... I could just pack the book & a set of weights/band. I liked NROL4W, love the philosophy behind it, but I just got bored and wanted to switch it up. :)

I lost 20lbs, 21" and 10% body fat doing CLX, you do have to challenge yourself though and go heavy to see the changes. And following the Eating Guide TOTALLY helps. I didn't stick to it that first month, but I did the last 2, which is when I saw the biggest differences. I went from a tight 12 to an 8. I am a size 4 now.…

CLX rocks! I'm a grad... 20lbs, 21" and 10% body fat in 90 days. This was the program I used to start my weight loss journey and it changed my body shape entirely... I can't say enough about the benefits of women lifting weights.

Methylsulfonylmethane is MSM, which is what most people know it as. MSM is necessary for collagen synthesis: skin and is believed to relieve stress, asthma, arthritis, inflammation, constipation, candida, detoxify the body and increase blood circulation, reduce muscle cramps, and back pain, help muscles to heal, increases…

A few things.... You gotta lift, especially targeting your lower body which is where most women hold onto addt'l fat deposits. (It's still my problem area) Eat a clean diet, drink plenty of water, eat good fats. Try Weleda Birch Oil... AMAZING! I bought it on Amazon. Wowza, awesome stuff! I hope that helps. :)

Aw, Lorena! Love my MFP peeps!! I feel like I "know" so many of you even though we've never met! :) I've msg'd many of you who had questions back, but please realize w/ my workouts & 2 crazy girls it will take me some time to get back to everyone. You may feel free to connect w/ me on FB too! www.facebook.com/leslie.kortes

I know, I know... I will get on submitting this! :) And "the guns" are from P90X. I'm only about 4wks into PUMP, but I do love it. I can definitely feel myself leaning out!

Yes, this exactly! The body is great & all, but I have my life back. I inspired my husband to get started (and he's lost 25lbs & 10% body fat) and my girls LOVE working out with me. It's the best!!

My favorite was ChaLEAN Extreme!! Chalene just rocked my world and helped me realize that I was stronger than I thought... mentally & physically. It was the catalyst for this change. PUMP is my current fave, such an awesome program!!!

Thank you everyone. I was nervous to post these pics and now I'm going between smiling & tears welling up in my eyes. It's been one cool ride!

Got it! THANK YOU!! :)

THANK YOU! How did you fix that?

Crap, why aren't my pics working???

Sure, that works. I do HIIT sprints, love 'em! So 7-8MPH and then you hop on & on. 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off for 30 minutes. GOOD fat torcher!! :) If you do them I'd love to hear what you think!

Awesome! I am hoping to do PUMP next!!

ME ME ME! I'm a stay-at-home mama too! I've been on here over a year now, but I LOVE meeting other SAHM MFP friends to connect with during the day. It's a whole new ball game working out & eating healthy with a family!! It's always more fun to do this with support!! :)

I love Brazil Butt Lift, I think Leandro is a HOOT! I love using the program to really target my booty. I am doing P90X right now, but I'm actually throwing a little Bum Bum & High & Tight into the mix right now to get ready for our Bahamas trip in 6wks! Gotta be bikini-ready. If you have any more specific questions let me…

I love hearing about all of these goals and future bikinis!! I love having a goal in mind and a plan to work towards making it happen. I've got a countdown going (6wks from tomorrow, EEK!), so I've got the next 6wks all mapped out with workouts, calories & at the very end, carb cycling. With a goal in sight we can ALL do…

Ha, yes! Although shopping is A LOT more fun now!! :)

I doubt it could happen THAT fast, but yesterday I was STARVING all day so I ate. Ate clean, but ate more and often and got in some addt'l fats (EVOO, walnuts, fish, etc..) and adjusted my custom goals back to 40/30/30. I met my calorie goal of 1800 for the day. Low & behold, I was down 2lbs on the scale this AM. Either…
