I didn't get to hit my goal weight before getting pregnant - but I SWEAR I won't let myself go this time!!! 5ft 5 in, approx 160-165 lbs 1 year ago Gah! I don't have ANY good current pictures! (not to self - must take pics!) 126 lbs

I started "the New Rules of Weightlifting for Women" It goes into detail how much protein you need, sample recipes, and workout plans. I do go to the gym, and if you're a beginner, at least one session with a trainer would be very helpful! The first month or so is 10 exercises that cycle...Squats, deadlifts, shoulder…

My goal is/was 120 lbs at 5ft 5in. I'm currently hovering around 125, but I just found out I'm pregnant - so.....I never got to hit it, but I'll be trying again when I can!

A lot of times I'll take leftovers from a low cal dinner. I usually make enough for leftovers and I'll weigh them out and stick them in the freezer for a quick grab and go meal. I just have to heat it up in the microwave. I'll also bring yogurt, fruit, cottage cheese. I have a little cooler bag that I picked up at Target…

I log everything...

You're doing AWESOME!!!! Don't give up! I hit a plateau for like 6 months! BUT kept trudging along. I'm slowly inching down that scale.

congratulations!! You've done an awesome job! Keep up the good work!

Some people will say eating "clean" will help you lose your tummy, or working on core strength. I started a high protein diet and heavy lifting a few weeks ago and this is what I found.... this was a 2 week difference and about 4 lbs for reference, I'm 5ft 5 in and weighing in around 125 right now.

I was miserable last night because my body was not used to the indulgences. I'm feeling better physically today and I'm back on track! I has "budgeted" all last week in prep for this weekend and will do the same this week for NYE.

I know what you mean! My stock skin is getting looser and hanging more. And I can see the lines in my face more ;-(. I also have a goal in mind and others tell me that I don't need to lose any more. I'm really trying to build up muscle and make my body sculpted (not easy). I also just figured out that I probably separated…

YES YES YES! I run at a 2.0-2.5 incline on the treadmill, but I can run faster outside too!

what a huge accomplishment!!! Way to take control - you look amazing!

HUGE congrats!!! You didn't look bad before, but now you're a knockout! Thanks for the inspiration!

I'm here!!! Chugging along! Weighed in yesterday at 131 - 6 lbs to go until my real attainable goal! I'd LOVE to see 120, but not holding my breath on that one, LOL!

I really really wish I had taken good before pics and measurements, but I think I was afraid I was going to fail again (I've taken before pics in the past and never followed through....) Luckily I've stuck with it this time! I'm almost at my goal, but I still have a lot of toning up I want to do! I'm 5 ft 5 in for…

I'm digging captain morgan's and diet coke - about 60 cal.

WTG!!! It helps so much to have a partner in this journey!!!!

you probably won't find anything inspirational in mine, LOL! But it's free for the looking!

me me me!!!! I've got 7 lbs to go!!! I seem to yo yo a lot so I've been hovering where I'm at for a while. I need a change, but not sure where! Hold my hand!

You're an inspiration!!!! Keep up the hard work! You're doing awesome!

Same here! When I tell them I'm watching what I eat and hitting the gym, it seems like a big letdown!

I LOVE the best thing I ever ate. But it DOES make me want to travel all over the US and try the foods! Salted caramel brownies got me! Im also a big fan of Alton Brown.
