Thanks for all the compliments everyone! I FEEL great!

I started out just walking... 3 miles a day. Then I started doing 30 day shred but I can never stick with one workout for too long so I switch around a lot. I've done some p90x and some of the other Jillian Michael's DVD's. I am a lunch lady at a high school and cooking for 1000 kids is a lot of hard physical work! It's…

I'm only 5'5"! 121 at 5'7" is AWESOME!! You should be proud! My before picture was actually my motivation picture. I saw that picture and was disgusted with myself so I decided to DO something about it!! :)

I'm 5'5" 126lbs and my measurements are 34/29/37 I consider myself to be pretty straight up and down and not have an hourglass shape at all.

These are incredible!! Here's mine

Oops I guess I should have added that in! I'm 5'5"!

Thanks everyone!! 9 months really has flown by. It has been a lot of work but completely worth every step! I only wish I had started sooner!

Before I started this journey when I went to the grocery store I would buy lots of packaged foods for meals... those frozen skillet meals, hamburger helper... and LOTS of sweets! I would eat 2 or 3 honey buns in one day for snacks! I was eating close to 3,000 calories a day and it was mainly junk food, fast food and…

I started at 1200 calories but when I started doing more activity I hit a plateau and everyone told me to bump up my calories. I was like "Eat more to lose?! That doesn't make any sense!" BUT it totally worked. So with every bit more of activity I added I bumped up my calories. I now work 6 hours on my feet all day, run…

I took the day off from running because my foot has been a tad sore (I barefoot run). I haven't taken the day off since I started a few weeks ago so I feel a little off today! I can't wait to run tomorrow :)

Thanks for the lean boy mass tip! I think I'll change it to around 97 as that's my lean body mass according to a calculator I found online. I'll have to step it up to get that much each day!

I track Calories Carbs Fat Protein Fiber Sodium I honestly should pay more attention to these. When I am way over in sodium I try to drink more water but really it just gives me a reference point if I wake up bloated (went over on sodium) or if at the end of the day i'm still starving (not enough fiber) I am thinking of…

Michelle: I just sent you a friend request!

Hi everyone! Fishie name : Zoesbargainmama Real name: Lindsey Feel free to add me too!

Before I decided to lose weight I loved Smirnoff Ice. Now that I've lost weight and would like to maintain a more slender me I enjoy Skinny Girl Margaritas.

I'm basically at maintenance and I eat between 1600 and 2100 a day. Usually close to 2000.

It came off very quickly at first... and then tapered and the last 90 days I've only lost about 4 pounds. The last 10 pounds were a LOT harder than the first. I found the more weight I lost the more energy I had to work harder! You can totally do it by July!!!

I started just over 7 months ago and I've lost 37lbs. I'm to a weight I am very happy with... now I am working on toning!

Wow!! You look amazing!

My first try to upload a pic so here goes This is me June 2012 at 165 lbs and today at just under 128 lbs.

Thanks!! They will! Core work is hard work but it has awesome results! You look amazing!! I can't believe your youngest is only 9 months! wow!

I'm trying! Mine are 9 and 6 and I held on to baby weight from my 6 year old until last summer when I decided to do something about it. I've finally gotten to my goal weight of 130 (actually around 128!) so now I am trying to tone up. I've been doing a ton of core exercises and I can tell a difference already. <here is my…

I used to when I had my activity level set lower as my job is a cook in a kitchen that prepares food for around 800 people every day. There is a lot of heavy lifting and it is generally a 90-100 degree environment so I do burn quite a few calories! I have sinced just upped my activity level and stopped entering any form of…

You ladies look great!! Great Job!! Hmmm I can't get mine to work.

I have a Westie who has lots of allergies (mainly environmental) and I feed her Fromm. It is pretty expensive ($35 for 12lbs) but she is small and her allergies are completely unnoticeable now. I figure it is the only thing she gets to eat so I want it to be the best for her.

42 days and 13.5 lbs!
