Thank you! I just changed my profile settings and it suggests, 1500 a day. I'm going to start there.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I am going to up my calories for sure. I am 5'3" 130 and I'm working out 5-6 days a week. My goal when I first started here in 2010 was to lose the baby weight of 2 children (c-sections at that.) Now that I've lost the weight I want to focus on being fit not just skinny. So even though I…

Thank you so much for the input! I will def try that!

I've got to learn to toughen up! lol If I'm happy it doesn't matter what other people think! Let me add, the people making these comments to me are people who are unhealthy and could stand to lose 40lbs themselves! I have to stop carinig what these certain people think! Thank you for the support!!!

You're exactly right! I just have to say that i'm healthy and happy with my weight. Maybe that's not where they are in life but i'm not going to let someone else's insecurities make me feel like i'm doing something wrong! I think you are exactly right when you say that being obese is just so acceptable and people feel…

It's so good to read that! Thank you. Someone who has been in my shoes! I don't want to put on weight! I've worked so hard to get it all off!! Now I want to be strong & fit! It's sad to say that i've let someone's opinion of me, make me actually think about GAINING again! Congrats on reaching your goal as well! It is a…

Thank you! :flowerforyou: My focus now is not to lose anymore weight. Just maintain and be more "fit". New exercise goals, weight training, etc. I'm trying to stay positive and drive on. Thank you for the support!!!

:laugh:

Haha!! Thank you! True story! LOL It actually felt good to type that. :laugh: :tongue:

Ok, my motivator was actually not a positive one, it was more of revenge. LOL My sister-in-law (Which I despise) got pregnant 3 months after me. It was a constant comparison of "Baby Weight" from her the entire time we were pregnant. She's a hateful woman let me add. So after our boys were born, she posted an AWFUL picture…

That is so encouraging to read! I am sitting here in pain wondering how i'm going to power through Day 2! LOL I'm so sore all over but i'm going to give it my best shot!!

I started my first day yesterday! Good Luck! I'm VERY SORE today :) but hoping to battle through for day 2! Feel free to add me for support!!

Thats awesome!!! Ya, I do cardio 4-5 times a week (weekdays), and then alot of times me and my husband go for a hike on the weekend together.. I will come home from work, run for about 20 min and then do about 30 min worth of her videos, I swear I can notice a difference already in how hard my muscles feel lol! I am 5'6…

I've actually noticed a huge change! I've lost inches in my hips, thighs, and waist. Honestly, that's all my life allows me right now with two small children is doing her videos when they are in bed. I occassionally get a jog in at the park once a week but that's it. I have went from a size 10 to a size 3/4 by doing her…

I've been doing her videos for the past 5 months and I LOVE them!!! I will make a favorites list on YouTube and go at it! :) I love the cardio routines they really get your heart rate going!! & not to mention I love her upbeat and bubbly personality! She makes it fun!

I also do YOUTUBE! :happy: I make a playlist of my favorite workouts and switch it up from week to week so I don't get bored. Saves from buying pricey DVDS that after the first few workouts, you're tired of. :wink:

Hi! Thank you for your response! I'm only 6 sessions into the POP Pilates but I can already tell a difference in my strength and flexibility as well. I'm definitely keeping the cardio in there also because I don't feel like I am burning very many calories with pilates. Also, I'm not losing any weight. :( However, I can…

Thank you so much for responding! I think this is something I need to do in combination with my regular cardio routine. I've read some reviews where people have lost inches and not lost a pound. I want to reach my weight loss goal but also add muscle definition especially to stomach area! :smile: Did it take you a long…

I really need to start measuring myself. I have thought about it but haven't. I'll definitely try the morning workouts and see if I can start seeing a change. Thank you so much for the tips! You have been so helpful! I hope to start seeing progress again soon!

Thanks you guys! I am only working out twice a week. With my work schedule and two small children, I don't get to go as often as I like. I usually start with 30 minutes of cardio and then do 30 minutes of "strength" training. Like shoulder presses, machines, etc. Maybe i'm not staying consistant enough in my workouts?

I have stretchmarks from two babies. I would love to know if anyone who has tried anything that actually works! I have them on my sides and on my belly. They are all very deep. I've wondered how they will end up looking after I reach my goal. You look fabulous!!! :happy:
