Ohhh! This ^^^^

I just discovered some of my jeans are 9s! I didn't even know what size I am. Um, I guess I'd like to be a size 7-9 in most pants and medium shirts. However...my boobies may not let that happen - all my medium shirts from back in the day are too short because I have boobage from two babies. :-/ hubby likes but I don't so…

Found it! It's bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator. Try it and use it as a guide, not an absolute "if you don't get here you're fat" marker. Without proper measuring by a doctor with expensive equipment, it is JUST a guideline.

Have you ever looked up the body fat calculator that tells you how much you're supposed to weigh? It's pretty good. You measure some body parts, plug the info into their calculator and it tells you how to calculate how much is muscles/bones, etc. that you CAN'T lose. Then you do some more calculations yourself and figure…

Wow! Impressive. :-)

I was at 240 after having my last baby in March 2011 (wooo) then lost about 30 pounds. I then went back to eating like crazy and not exercising. Then in February 2013, I realized I was being ridiculous and taking care of the kids didn't mean I couldn't take care of myself! So I lost about 40 more from February to…

Thanks so much!

I'm at a normal BMI! Just barely...but yeah!

As I'm looking through these starting weight posts, it seems maaaany of you are close to MY starting weight and looking to lose 15-25 pounds too...how in the world did I find the perfect group?! Let's do this ladies!

What's up mah skinny summer *****es?! lol - I'm Marie and my starting weight - 1/8/14 - is 160. I'd like to be at 147 by March 31. That's not that much. That's not that much. That's not that much. (my new mantra) Then just maintain and tone for summertime. Maybe actually wear a swimsuit at the lake instead of tank top and…

A glass before every single meal and a glass with meals. It also helps you eat less...I felt like I was going to blow up after eating a three ounce pork chop yesterday. That's almost exactly how I've lost most of my weight - drinking water before meals!

I've lost 70+ pounds, with about 45 of that a direct result of tracking calories & exercise. I just love SEEING my hard work pay off - and it's so simple and easily available! I have it on my iPad and my phone so I have no excuse not to track! It works - just stick with it and keep yourself accountable!

Start with dumb bells and videos at home. YouTube has a wealth of information - buuuuut don't watch some guy in his basement, ya know? Practice the lifts properly at home, then ask for help from some of the people lifting at the Y. You might make a new "accountability" friend! I lifted all through middle/high school and…

Eat what you want! Just less...maybe substitute a few things for other things. For example, I loooove frappes but now I get a non-fat sugar free iced latte when I can't resist. Annnnd some days I have that dang frappe but I workout a little longer/harder or eat lettuce for dinner. It's just moderation and being careful and…

HIIT! Most benefits (for me personally) in the least amount of time annnnd I can do it at home -in my basement where no one can see me struggling to complete push-ups/squats, etc. it's also endlessly customizable. I guess I also play with my kids outside but it's a little chilly now. :-)

Warning: horror story follows. Weighing 155, I gained 75 pounds with my first (I was making a HUMAN!! and I was age 19) then lost 60. Then gained 70 with second (at 22). Baby is now 2 1/2. And Mama is at pre-baby weight after 5 years! Moral: be smart or face years of birthday pictures without yourself in them! Or eat as…

That's so great! I remember getting under 200 too! Such an awesome day! Good for you! I'd hit 199 and then go back up to 203...it was a real struggle. But now I'm looking at 150-land! You can do it!

I'm about 5'8". Starting weight: 240 (after second baby) Current weight: 159 Goal weight: 150 (maybe eventually 140-145) I'm still eating at a deficit and juuuust started doing some HIIT at home again. (I worked out steadily for about 4 months then "forgot" about weight loss for a few months) i will be happy when I don't…
