  • How do we calculate it? I'm 5'ft tall and my natural waist measures 28"...?
  • I've lost 20 lbs just from running, some free weights, and watching what I eat (no junk food, but occasional treats). It can get boring after awhile, but just switch to some other form of cardio - I like Zumba :) I've lost an inch on my calves by running, and my legs look nice and lean now :)
  • It's always rewarding when others notice our hard work! The first person (outside the home) who noticed my 20 lb weight loss was my husband's aunt at a family party, and TBH, it felt great! Like all my blood, sweat, and tears weren't all for nothing! Then, after that, I ran into my niece at a grocery store and she asked if…
  • I need to show my husband this - this is SPOT ON! Seriously! He's at least 30-40 lbs overweight, and doesn't find anything wrong with "enjoying a few beers"...I tell him that he's consuming an extra 400 calories (at least!) on top of whatever he's had for supper, but it falls on deaf ears :S Everything you've said (alcohol…
  • It's totally realistic! I'm 5'ft, 38 yrs old, AND I'm down to 110 lbs (GW: 105 lbs and just a little more tightening up). I was stalled at about 125lbs for years, and I'd never really worked out in my life, but I made the decision to not settle and lost the weight little by little. Just because we're in our 30's doesn't…
  • I wish my husband would try this! He doesn't realize that ONE beer is over 100 calories, and he has at least 3 in one night (used to be up to 7 O.o) PLUS a full dinner AND dessert. It hurts my heart to see him overindulge like this, but Heaven forbid I say anything about it - and I DO cook healthy most nights :S He TRIES…
  • I'm loving the small changes :) I have a JAWLINE now (never had that before!), my shoulders are more pronounced (not in a skeletal way), and clothes that I haven't worn in years are now fitting again! I DO go up and down a bit in weight (hovering between 109-111), but the other differences are still noticeable so I don't…
  • I've recently given up soda (I only drank diet sodas) and cut back on sugar, which is what I think kick started my weight loss. Portion control. I give myself little "treats" (ie. a piece of dark chocolate after dinner sometimes) so I don't overindulge or feel deprived. I've gotten into healthier snacking (hummus and…
  • Heathers (1988) - The original "Mean Girls" :)
  • I don't get too many food cravings (if any), but I CANNOT work out on those days! I feel soggy and gross enough as it is without adding sweat to the mixture :S YUCK!
  • 5' ft and currently 120 lbs (SW - 130 lbs after 2 kids). Working towards 110-115 lbs :) Not considerably overweight, but working on toning and tightening! Two-piece bathing suit, HERE I COME!
