After one month, lost about 10 lbs, a co-worker noticed. My boyfriend told me since week 2.

If you are wanting to maintain - then eat at maintenance. I wouldn't restrict calories. How many lbs you need to gain while pregnant? I think it varies depending on your BMI... I would double check this with your OB and then adjust your calorie intake to whatever the OB tells you. And log in your calories through your…

I forgot to mention, this is actually my 3rd attempt ~ I'm just wondering what people think. In reality, it really doesn't matter what others think as long as I have my motivation, but I was just curious what other thought about it.

Way to go! :blush: I can't wait to get there too!

Puerto Rico -- but currently living in Florida!~~

Well, this makes sense! Thank you much!

I'm living in Tampa, FL -- originally from Puerto Rico.

My name is Tania, I am just a silly narwhal who is trying to lose the weight gained while doing a bachelor & a master degree. I was raised with a Nintendo, Super Nintendo & PlayStation playing the Mario games (Mario RPG, wuuuut), Zombie Ate My Neightbors (wuut, lol), Zelda: Link to the Past, Final Fantasy, and a bunch of…

Omg... looks delicious... xD Awesome job!! I'll send a FR!

Congrats! You are truly an inspiration for me! I lol'd at the happy dance and santa like powerlifting parts! Amazing experience!

Beautiful story, amazing photos, congrats on your journey to fit! You are truly inspiring!

Yes, it is possible. As long as you don't lose your form which is important, you can go to your own pace and even modify the workout moves a bit. This is how I see it, priorities: 1. Safety first! - Don't compromise your body just because you feel "you need to keep up with the crew." 2. Don't compromise form: Like Shaun T.…

I just buy the fruits and veggies that I like and add them to my meals. I just don't buy anything out there, I have done it and everything goes to waste. So for me is just that, I buy what I know I am going to eat and the rest is history.

There's this workout DVDs: Focust T25 that are only 25 minutes a day workout. Beachbody programs are really good, you can check it out: http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/focus-t25-workout.do There's people around here doing them, maybe you can ask questions too.

Colorado Springs, CO soon moving to Central Florida!

The only fruit that I love and eat is banana - high potassium and I mix it with my protein shake... and also Raisin Bran cereal! That's the way I consume Potassium! :)

Wow, well done! I love to see some Hip Hop Abs results! I love Shaun T.! :)

This is an awesome job! You look even younger! Kudos for not giving up after the crash! :)

Yes, very inspiring stories! Awesome job! :)

Wow, awesome transformation! I love the video too!

Hey, the pictures didn't show, I don't know how to fix them either!

I use scale, inches, photos and if I could, Body Fat % (which I do, but it's those crappy Internet calculators that aren't very accurate). Losing weight can be lethargic and it may require as many motivation elements as possible to make it happen. It's all a mind game. Look at these pictures in the quote. She have lost a…

Wow, awesome job! :)

I'm so happy for you! Congrats! :)

Excellent job! I can tell the difference in your belly and lower back! A huge difference!

Just go to the OP's profile and raid his friends list sending FR like crazy!

I was helping my brother and sister in law move to their new apartment on a 3rd floor. A lot of stairs involved, up and down, and them making fun of how out of breath I was and that I was lacking exercise. I felt humiliated and ashamed, but provided enough motivation to start my journey to healthy -- only thing I am proud…

I was just wondering about the TOM too... also about your sodium intake? Could be water weight. I have heard some women can hold up to 10 lbs of water weight... but on average between 3-5 lbs two to one week before TOM.

Hey, congrats on starting your fitness journey! Many ups and down will come, but every new day is an opportunity to improve and make it better! I agree with Stuartian, you can start lifting and doing cardio at the same time... I encourage you to look more information on weight training and in general educate yourself!…

A bald eagle!!!!! This is fun! lol
