Not sure how the weight that I am currently works out with the size 4 jeans that I am fitting into at Old Navy or the dress pants that I wear for work from Khols either girl! It's crazy because I look at other people that are smaller than me but say their size is larger than a 4. So weird! Guess body shapes and height play…

Press ups....like with the bar that the big guys use? LOL! I may be able to do that...well the bar without weights! How lame am I?!

Thanks for these! I am doing most of these already so I guess I am doing the right things. I will add the pull ups and lat pull downs. Just wasn't sure if there is a particular order that is better and if there is a frequency that is better. Thank you so much for these tips! I will definitely not forget the lower…

Glad to hear that at least I am not the only one dealing with this. I haven't ever had kids either so not sure what the deal is. Thanks for the comments for sure though. :)

Way to go! That's an awesome attitude to have! You rock!

Agreed! It's totally about a lifestyle change! That's truly changing your mind set! I want to live like no one else (not giving into the American way of over eating and indulging in unhealthy foods) so that I can live like no one else enjoying being active, youthful and healthy as long as I can!

Totally agree! The normal way of life and eating for me now is clean. But we do schedule and plan cheat meals once in awhile which actually boosts our metabolisms and curves any cravings that we may have for unclean foods simply because after eating them you don't feel well.

You can totally do this girl! It's really easier than people make it out. I believe in you too! You just have to change your mind, which it sounds like you have, to make those true changes and change the way you view food and nutrition! Here's the website that I recommend. She has TONS of wonderful and clean recipes! It's…

LOVE your signature message!!!! Dedication rocks!

Thanks for the tips everyone! Sounds like I will be doing a hybrid of the two for sure! I definitely need some strength training in there and while insanity has LOTS of push ups that's definitely not enough. :)

Way to go girl that's so awesome! I am proud! Slow and steady and you WILL get there. No one starts out running 3 miles out of the gait trust me. Took me months to build up to where I am now. Keep up the hard work, dedication and focus and YOU WILL SUCCEED!

THanks for all the great tips! I've actually hired a trainer to help me and he's got me on protein shakes now and that seems to be taking care of it for most days. I am not going to quit exercising as much and I'm not going to eat what ever I want to either that would certainly defeat the purpose of trying to get more…

I'm 5'3 and I only allow myself 1200 a day and since I've started working out twice a day I can't eat back all of my calories ever. On days that I only work out once a day it's easier but I try not to eat all of them back though because I too feel like that's defeating the purpose of working so hard to lose the weight.…

If you have to have Coke you are much better off indulging in a regular classic coke than the diet ones. The diet cokes have SOOOO many chemicals and nasty things in them that they end up being worse for you than a regular coke. Just sayin. If it were me I would definitely quit. I drink all water all the time and every…

Chips Chips Oh yeah and chips Pizza Chocolate I just love junk food. Boo! Bread Other: Antique shops Thrift Stores Fabric...yes I LOVE beautiful fabrics to make things with Clothes of course SHOES!!!

Girl this is AWESOME!!! You seriously look amazing and what an accomplishment in such a short amount of time. I'm thinking I may need to take some pics of myself so I will actually get to SEE the results like this once I get there. You are a true inspiration. Hang in there and the rest will melt away! You can do this! :)

Girl 10 pounds in 40 days is AMAZING honestly! It has taken me 60 days to get rid of just 7 pounds. But I'm still thankful for those 7 pounds in 60 days!!! I've worked so hard too and sure I'd love to have had the scale move down quicker during the past 60 days but I can see improvements and a loss is a loss! They say the…

I may have to try that next time I do my Insanity workout! I love insanity but yeah the music is NO good. Thanks for the tip.

You LOOK AWESOME!!! Don't get down on yourself. You seriously have done great! You should be proud of yourself I AM! It's more than most people can accomplish. Way to go! And hang with it...you've probably just hit a plateau and that happens to us ALL.

Hummm I didn't really think about a reward other than some of my clothes fitting. So let's go with NEW clothes because I LOVE fashion and clothes and once I am down to 115 I will MOST definitely need new clothes!

WOW! That's so awesome girl! Your too afraid to post them on FB while I'm too afraid to post my current pics on here. I don't yet have "after" pics even though I've been through P90X twice. Eeekkk! Too scared to take them BUT guess I should because you can really tell the difference. thanks for the inspiration! Keep up the…

My goal weight is 120 and size would be a comfortable, toned 6 Dream weight: 105 and size 4 I am taking baby steps though so my goal for now is a comfortable 10 and then an 8. After I get there I will look…

Is it too late to join this? I started at 158 am now 155 and really hoping to be 105 by June 1! I am ONLY 5'2" so that's not a bad weight for a lady that height. Let me know if it's too late or not and what I need to do thanks!

I am 5'2" and currently weigh 155 :( I would LOVE to get down to 108 some time in the near future though! My first goal is 120 by June! I used to be super thin and in shape. I know I can be again!
