  • Hi all. My name is Amy and I'm 44, really struggling with runaway weight gain. In 2013 I lost 50 lbs using MFP and running, but the past couple of years have really taken their toll, and I now have 70 lbs to lose. Having a place to check in every day will be very helpful, so here I am :) I've just started working out three…

  • My main focus was getting rid of belly fat, since that is a huge marker for disease in the long term. Since I'm a pear shape, I had to lose a lot of weight on top before the belly really started melting. I'm 5'4", started at 176 and aimed for 136.

  • You've made fantastic progress and look great! I completely agree that you must figure out what works for you - I could never stick with something imposed on me by someone else. Congrats and take care :)
  • I'm now at my goal weight of 127lbs, so I thought I should update my before/afters: More before pics: After pics: I finally feel like I'm going to be able to keep up with my two boys as they grow! I'm still running 3x a week, as well as taking a core and Power Yoga class.
  • Oh no - by "down" days I meant days where I feel crabby and discouraged. I always take "off" days to recover. I try to run Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, and I do a core class on Tuesday and Power Yoga on Thursday. I find those classes are really helping build my core and upper body strength, which is really important to me as…
  • Congrats! I can so relate to your post, I never thought I could be a runner (even as a child I was always the last one in the pack during the Canada fitness runs), but apparently the only thing stopping me was my mindset. After months of interval runs, my training plan is set so that I run a straight 25 minutes next Sunday…
  • You look fantastic and so happy! I'll be curious to see my doctor's reaction too, it's been years since she's seen me at this weight :)
  • Here's me at 176lbs: and four months later at 145lbs: I'm down another 3.6 since then and still going!
