look great! mA!

To hit my mini goal of 100kg by the end of this year.

Today I was on my computer at home doing some work and typing into chat with a colleague. I've been trying to do 'random bursts of activity' so I decided to do 10 knee pushups. Completely distracted by the chat, I dropped and did a pushup...realized coming up that I forgot to get on my knees and did a proper pushup! Then I…

Getting to under 100kg is my mini goal right now...4 kilos away. My next goal will be getting under 200lbs, onederland...

See the dietician -- this is about the health of your child, not your feelings. They shouldn't be on your case, but on your side. Going to a dietician is the responsible thing to do here :) it'll put your mind at rest when you're eating with knowledge instead of uncertainty, and if the dietician is rude you should tell…

I was doing weighted squats at the gym this morning and one of the gym instructors came over to tell me I had great form :smiley: made my day!

I actually like the weight room better than anywhere else in my gym because all the 'bodybuilder typed' don't give a damn what anybody else is doing. Super focused on their own workouts and gains, and hardly notice anyone around them.

Trying to get to 99.9kg :smile:

I think it's worth it -- 3 weeks may not be the longest but it helps your body refresh its memory of proper lifting form. I would go for it and then do bodyweight exercises when you have to start working out at home again. You'll be more motivated to maintain the strength that you gained in those 3 weeks!

You look wonderful! Awesome to be able to do something for yourself and your baby at the same time -- win-win! Breastfeeding rocks for burning calories :)

That is awesome. It's wonderful that you persevered to do what was best for you. Great work, and thank you for sharing!

I never used to understand people who would say 'I had a big breakfast' or 'I had a big lunch' and not eat/drink/whatever. After all, who the hell skips a meal and a chance to eat food!?! Today I went out to lunch unexpectedly, and ate more than I'd planned for the meal...coming out to about 90% of my calories for the rest…

Today I went to the gym planning to walk for 60 minutes (it's one of my off days from weight training). 10 minutes in I got bored of walking and decided running would feel better! That's right, I actually *wanted* to run! I alternated running and walking for the next 35 minutes :smile:

Amazing, mA! Great job! Super inspiring.

May 3: 5km, 44:50 Total: 5km Goal: 85km

I'd recommend Stronglifts, Google it, all the info is on the website and it's quite fine for a beginner, unfit newbie female :) Try it -- I think you'll like it!

Definitely going to follow you on tumblr :)

I'm totally doing this until May 1!

great progress, that's amazing! keep it up and you'll be in shock at how much you progress over the next few months! :)

I'm starting it tomorrow!

You are looking so good! Inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks everyone! Sonya, that makes a lot of sense. I'll try that - thanks for the advice!

Salams! Just saw this thread! I was 226.6 on Day 1 of Ramadan, going to weigh myself again on Eid inshaAllah!
