LOVE LOVE LOVE this success story! Very inspiring and proves that lifting heavy can yield amazing results! Congrats on the transformation….You are hot stuff!

Fantastic work friend...you look fit and healthy! It's amazing what can happen in a year with some sweat, hard work, and dedication...You rock!

You look fantastic!!! Well done, it's a tough program and not everyone can make it through to the end!! Congrats!!!

Wow, so this is a common thing then. Makes me feel better, or at least, less alone! I get this every time I see my family and friends here. Or silly remarks like "You'll blow over with the wind", etc. I just laugh it off as I really don't think they mean harm by it. I am nowhere near underweight. My collar bones protrude a…

I can totally relate. I've lost and gained 20-30 pounds countless times over the years…but each time gaining back a little more than the time before. I would always stop short, quit trying, and gain it back. WHY? Self-sabotage? Anyway, the key for me: Setting fitness goals in addition to weight-loss goals. I had always…

Bookmarking for later. Sounds yum!

I'm not a CLX veteran yet, so I can't speak for final results, but you are SEEING results from the lifting. Muscle definition IS visible proof the program is working. My measurements have also stayed the same so far, but I know my biceps/triceps are bulging now, and there are indents where there weren't before. Seeing and…

Maybe I can relate. I am 5'8 and I also gain mostly around my midsection. At 170, I measured 38" around the belly button. Haven't taken pics in a few months, but I am currently ~150lbs and measure 34.5" around the navel. Working on these last few pounds and tightening up. My love handles are being incredibly stubborn, lol.…

Google search 'Phytic Acid.' After a shocking dentist trip that revealed I needed 7 fillings (very unusual for me), I started evaluating my diet, as that was the only thing that had changed since my last dentist visit. That's when I began reading up on Phytic Acid. My diet consumed of lots of legumes and nuts. In addition,…

If I was down another 6-8 pounds by then, I'd be thrilled!! I'm within ~10lbs of my goal, so it's been much harder to lose. Good luck with your goals!

Just a sweet combination of exercise and a healthy diet! Still a work-in-progress, but the reduction in back fat makes me happy. It's very possible, keep at it!!

Feel free to add me! I'm almost 30, love peanut butter, and am struggling to lose those last 10-15 pounds. Main goal now is to lower my bf% through lifting and other resistance training (and clean eating, 90% of the time). You look great, btw!!

Informative post. Funny the things you learn to accept and think are 'normal' for you. My tummy always protrudes after eating…I am now going to consider it as abnormal bloating and look for the trigger. Thanks to the OP and those with helpful suggestions...

An excellent read!

Funny, b/c I think I posted on this topic at some point. My goal has changed 3 times during the course of 10 months. As I get close, I realize I can go further. I'm 5'8, my goal is 140 lbs OR bf ~20%…

Thank you very much! It's been an awesome 10 months of healthy eating and exercising! 59 down, ~11 to go.

Those are amazing results!! Definitely inspiring me to try out T25!! Keep up the awesome work!!

Sure, I'll add ya!

Awesome transformation! And that's more than just weight loss, you've got muscle definition too! Amazing work, you should feel proud. P.S. I wish I had your booty ;) Been squatting but still as flat as can be…lol.

Awesome dedication! No need to tell ya to keep at it, as I'm sure you will!! As a pal with similar stats and body type, I look forward to following your progress and seeing what you'll achieve! Congrats on your progress thus far, you look amazing!

^THIS for me too!! My family drives me crazy about the food thing…assuming ALL I eat is salad, and then trying to get me to eat more of 'this', saying it's healthy, but then telling me eating my Feta cheese will make me fat. UGH…let me BE! And also, no butt here…never really had one, but now I care a little more…flat booty…

LOL, funny! Oh the things we'll try. Your final look was beautiful. I hope you have a great date! Just be yourself, or show him this post, so he know's you're a cool chick with a sense of humor!

Yup! Been doing this for some time now…I'll actually buy the ripened bananas at discount, slice 'em up, freeze them in bags, and then blend (I use a food processor) into a creamy frozen treat. I make a good amount and store in a container so I always have it on hand, ready to serve. Also, to measure calorie count, you can…

Sure, I'll add ya!

^Great suggestions. I'm also a video junkie, I need to be told what to do. 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels is a great starting point and can be bought for really cheap or watched on YouTube. I used plastic bottles filled with water and cat litter as my weights…they worked great! Also when I started, I dusted off my old…

I'll add ya! I'm on day 13 and use a Polar FT4 as well! Been 'enjoying' the workouts…they kick some serious butt! Let's see this thing through to the end!! Anyone else feel free to add me…I love having friends as Insane as me! :)

I started it but had to stop within week 2…once my situation returns to normal, I'll start it up again and finish it. I loved the strength gains I made in the first week alone! I've done her TurboJam so I already knew Chalene was an awesome trainer and motivator! There's a MFP group for anyone doing Chalene's programs,…

^^This is awesome!! I whole-heartedly agree and WTG for putting this out there for the fellas! I was able to get my man to do it with me, and he saw great results! He wasn't over-weight and was already in decent shape (he plays Tennis twice a week), but he was right there with me, huffing puffing sweating and screaming at…
