Thank you for sharing! That is a gorgeous story! Best wishes in your new journey of life!

How wonderful!!

I think you're being to hard on yourself. Building up endurance to run a 29 min 5 km takes a lot of time. You will get there! 9 months ago it took me 52 minutes to do a 5 km.. and now only 40 mins. Yes it's way slower than yours, but the conditioning it took to get there was a TON! I hit the gym 2-3 times a week for HIIT…

Good work!!

Way to go!

I just went into the MY EXERCISES and made my own. I noticed that using "aerobics" or something like that said I burnt off 4x the amount of calories I actually burnt. So I have been adding my own exercises and using that mostly vs MFP's

Yes 3 games on rest day maybe much! lol good for you! I am going to split mine up as well. If I need to back off on run days I will! Good idea.. listen to the body! Right now mines saying " biking 5 miles on a new bike with no padding is stupid"

I intake 125+ grams a protein a day. This works for me though. I have been taught to use a protein shake before work outs to assist in muscle grown and sustainability ( I use Vega One or a whey protein such as Isowhey breezers) and then a Creatine protein after suppers sometimes ( filling snack, creatine takes a while to…

I think you look good! I guess you have to remember that people telling you this are used to seeing you as the larger form of you. So seeing you with those great high cheek bones would make them think otherwise. If you are worried... then there's a concern. But as long as your happy, healthy and no health concerns from a…

This is my fear.. keeping up with my 10km run training and the gym. I thought maybe I would take a break from weights for the next few weeks till I adjusted.

I started the fit test this morning with my hubby. I found some of the exercises challenging ( ie. suicide jumps.. I flipping hate them things). Even though I was sweating like I had ran a marathon, My heart rate barely moved above 140. I was working hard but I burn more calories running. Has anyone else checked out to see…

Love this post! I like the " Keep It Simple Stupid" approach! I sometimes think I get to over the top about things. These tips show that keeping your mind on certain things i.e ) portion control and actually eating the serving size, makes life much easier! I have a HRM and LOVE it going to buy a scale now! have thought…

Amazing!!! Good work!

I as well was having a rut moment the last two weeks.. I increased my caloric intake to 2067 and 2 lbs came off in a week! Also, lifting weights is a huge assistance. You won't bulk up but it increases your metabolic rates as well. Just make sure you eat protein after to repair those muscles. Also, are you eating enough…

Mommy of twin 4 year olds here! I agree on the survival.. I ate to eat for those first years and no time for much else. I now am back to my pre prego weight.. but my stomach area is still large... I have shape on the sides but small tummy nope! I am hoping that I can pull it together, but it definitely isnt easy However, I…

The only time we used them on our twins.. was when they were runners at a zoo... It I believe was the only time. But saved all our *kitten* in big crowds that day for kids who refused to stay in strollers!

Amazing!! Thanks for sharing your success! Best wishes for a long healthy life!

I get it all the time. In the last year I have changed my complete lifestyle. Do not get me wrong Ill have a brownie or eat out here and there. However, I don't ( like you mentioned) seek this out. So when I try avoid it or minimize crap in my food choices Ill get comments from my mom like " well we will bring our own food…

Such a wonderful feeling!! The last time I ever got close to needing a plus size I did exactly what you did.. RAN FOR THE Salad..lol Good work on getting down into a comfortable 12 for summer!

I heard about this challenge through a friend..I'm on 50 today!

Good work!! I've always loved my p90x work outs but found them to be to much ON TOP of the running / gym days. Are you doing just p90x or are you hitting up other exercises?

holy crap you look wonderful! Congratulations on all the hard work!

OH undies so tight.. that was such a hard pill.. I now can fit in VS undies I bought years ago and never wore!

Good work!

Nice work!

WOOT!! Good job!! Its amazing how much 20 lbs can change a person as well. Keep up the good work!

SO WONDERFUL!! Congrats on the success of all your hard work!

Good for you!! These are the success stories we all need to focus on! I find some of the success here are so drastic so fast you get caught up in the "how the heck did they do it so fast" I try eat a few paleo meals a week just for health benefits.. But I do like my sweets to much to do it 80/20 however I appreciate the…

LOVE THIS!! I kind of think I may start saying this to people when they tell me to try this or that. What I dont get is how people notice Ive lost weight.. ask how I do it . When I respond with "eating right and exercise" they then feel free to comment on why dont I try this or that.. People are so bizzare!

Isnt this an amazing feeling!! I actually stopped shoping when I got back to having to shop in a plus size store.. I went to a "Skinny" store yesterday where their plus size is size 14/16/18 and I was able to buy a cute top in a 16 there.. It is THEIR version of "plus" but I a year ago wouldnt have even fit into that!
