I am also 5'9 but 145. You post reminds me of where I was at one point. Weights girl. Weights and patience and you will get there. Cardio alone will not get you there.

I usually do a banana and a protein shake. Only about 220 calories and everything you need.

At the end of the day it's a choice. How bad do you really want to lose weight? There's your motivation.

I divorce people for a living....just think long and hard about what's best for YOU and your kids and don't make rash decisions. Divorce is a big step and can be very ugly and complicated - especially for small kids who don't understand. That is my professional opinion. My personal opinion is this - if it were me , based…

Don't believe cheat days or meals....that being said I'll have a little something once every week or two like a few slices of pizza....just keep it in moderation and not a binge.

there is a website called "If It Fits Your Macros"....google it and check it out. It has a calculator for bulking (gaining muscle) and cutting (losing fat).

Honey I breathe the gym and if I tried what you did I'd look like a clumsy person!! More power to you for doing it!! I have no balance or coordination haha. Just go in and do your thing sweetie....you're making an effort - that';'s all that matters.

Also a size 4-6 pants and medium large shirts

^ I'm close.....5'8 - 150 and lift heavy :) Not vegan but totally support the lifestyle.

My hubs is my running partner, lifting partner and BFF. We support and push each other towards goals.

I can appreciate what you're saying - but as a regular gym goer I have to say that I'm not even paying attention to the size of others or what they are doing and I'm sure I speak for 99% of others also. Just go in there and do your thing....that's what everyone else is doing. Stop being concerned with what others may (or…

Two things helped me....I've never binged since: 1) I don't restrict as much 2) I have a small cheat meal on saturday nights. Those 2 things keep me right on track usually without a second thought. I haven't slipped up in over 8 months.

Great job on the weight loss. I only noticed this because I'm 5'8 1/4 and weight 147...I'm a size 4 so it's not like that's big.....you said your coal is 130...at 5'9 isn't that kind of low? I'm happy for you - just don't drop too low as you'll mess up your body. Best of luck to you.

There are tons on-line for free, Just google free half marathon training plans...also a lot of sites like running times and womens running will even have receipes and calculators for pace etc... You;ll be fine. Just trust the plan and take it slow...don't increase your miles too quick.

^ this......What your husband said is not love girl. I divorce ppl for a living doll...trust me - either get counseling fast or accept that its over. In my experience professionally this is what I see. Hold your head up high and do it for you. If the rest doesn't work out - at least you have that.

Rock on buddy - great job!!

^Exactly this to a T...

Weights will do amazing things for your body. Lift heavy and look like a goddess! I promise! ;-)

I've been on maint...bulking for a while now...I'm constantlhy hungry..just part of it I've learned to accept!! And yes, I am more hungry on rest days than workout days!! I think bc exercise is an appetitite suppresant in a way so rest days you just feel hungry!!

All of you look great!! Congrats.

Mine was only about 30 lbs but the drop in body fat was huge...previous BF was about 30%...current 16.7%. All about gaining muscle now. Irregardless - goals are goals and hitting each milestone was exciting and continues to be. I wish you all the best going forward!! You can do this!

It takes a lot of guts to write what you did. Kudos to you for that. I know how horrible it is to have to keep that secret. Congrats on getting healthy too. All the best girl.

Rock on sister. Welcome to the club....I just ignore them....do your thing and smile at your success :) At the end of the day they are just jealous.

Honestly I just do the best I can. Ugly feet just comes with the territory :-/ Good shoes, proper socks and I use a pumice stone to scrub them once a week really good.

^this..

Very nice. If I were single I ask you out :)

My financee is my running partner and lifting partner....I couldn't have it any other way...non-exerciser = deal breaker.

Took me months. Just be patient, do it right and trust the process. It will come.
