I am 5'1 (25 years) and started around 160lbs. Having an initial goal of dropping weight is definitely the easiest way to get started. I think for me, as I learnt more about the process and my preferences, I was able to gauge what was best for my lifestyle and energy levels. Find something that you can keep up consistently…

Complexion, eyes and lips! :)

Few hours from Toronto ;)

My macros are adjusted by a bit each week, but at the moment I am at 125g of protein each day.

I had a pretty "bad" weekend in my books... ate a bit too many carbs and had some drinks. In a sense, it was refreshing after sticking so strictly to my macros, but I also tend to feel extremely guilty after the fact. Now, it's just looking forward and sticking to my macros and staying focused on smashing PRs in the gym.…

5"1 SW 160 CW 123 Wouldn't lie, it would be nice to go down a bit more in weight (original goal was 125), but now I'm a lot more focused on visuals. I am judging it by how I feel and how much fat vs. muscle I have. I lift heavy every weekday, two of those days I incorporate either a HIIT treadmill circuit or a PLYOS…

This. It's so easy to compare myself to others, and I do it more often than I realize. While I'm still learning to accept myself (we all have those down moments), I have also come to terms that my natural shape is more thick on the bottom. I still have fat to lose, so I'm working on that... but jeans have always been a…

@joanne882015 you could be doing nothing and guys would be gawking :smile:

Ha! At least it keeps attention off trouble areas! You'd have girls taking a feel of those guns :P

Being hit on by all the ladies ;)

Kind eyes and smile :smile:

Dang. You look amazing! Dedication and pure sweat! :)

The best combination in my opinion! :smile:

I think nice! (okay, but maybe streaks of naughty too :wink:)

Visit the Typing Test and try!

Those eyes!!... Smile and complexion as well :smile:

Like another member has said, it becomes part of your routine. I have worked in my gym time before work everyday (during the week) - and now it's second nature. Yes, there are definitely days when I am full force and pumped for my workouts... others when I definitely feel the lack of motivation. It's up to you to dig deep…

Edited because it didn't post my response... I used to live by that mentality, but now I stick to my macros instead of struggling to keep at 1200 calories a day. Yes, my calorie intake has increased, but I focus on hitting macros and find that the calorie count each day just nicely falls into place. Your body needs proper…

Bright and bubbly! :)

Definitely eat more than this! Even if you aren't working out, you should be eating more (your body needs proper nutrition) :smile: I'm 5'1, started at 160lbs and still on my journey - it's a roller coaster but with hard work and perseverance it can be done!

We are one of a kind! Teas are definitely no end all solution (at least for losing weight), but I do drink tea as another way to help my water intake. It's the most frustrating thing that there is no spot reduction especially with my stomach being one of my main insecurities, but I tend to go heavier on my core, leg, and…

I feel you there. Whenever I eat or drink ANYTHING, I bloat. I have fallen for all the fad and magically "solutions" that are out there, detox tea being one of them. I can say that it definitely does not work and I am just glad that I didn't experience any nasty side effects. Right now, I am focusing portion control,…

I really do think it's about what your personal goals are. I know there are so many external pressures as to how you should look or how much you should weigh. If you're at a healthy weight and you're happy with yourself, then work on maintenance. Don't conform to what you think others want you to be. It's about how YOU…

I'm 5"1... heaviest was 160lbs, now hovering between 126-128. Still trying to cut down some more weight (left over fat), but really go off how I look and fit in clothes (or look naked). I was between 115-120 throughout high school but I'm liking my muscle tone a lot more now :)

I always fall for guys that end up disappearing on me and breaking my heart. Doesn't help that I'm a mushy hopeless romantic either. sigh.

I can easily polish a bag of Ruffles Sour Cream and Onion chips. The large size ones. SMH.

I loved Insanity! It was my go-to workout when I first started on my weightloss/fitness journey. Big thing is just pushing through and mentally staying in the game each day. You can do it!

Last week :)

Definitely an ongoing battle for me. We all have those days when we feel less motivation then others. I think it's important to come to terms with why you're really doing it and evaluating your methods and if they are the right ones that you can sustain. I change things up once in a while, and a lot is mental. I have to…

It's all about how I think for me. My mind can sometimes be my worst enemy, as my own worst critic, I always find things I don't like and think I'm inferior. That being said, I've improved from before. I'm still not comfortable naked so I know that's something I still need to come to terms with. I'm a work in progress :)
