So how long did it take to get abs???

Slowly works very well! Congrats on the first few lbs lost!

60lbs is hard to do. Kudos on that! Hard work pays off !!

Not everybody can. We sometimes are too busy to put too much effort for our bodies to be sore the next day. Especially with psychical work. They can sure consume less calories though...

I’ve been researching this for a few weeks. There are too many answers and they all vary. Too really know if you have loose skin or just squishy fats is to lower your body fat percentage. Loose skin is really just wrinkles. Loosing more than 2lbs a week, you’re for sure going to get it if the weight loss is rapid. People…

Ok got it. Was watching YouTube and wondering if they would help the process with excersize as well

Great advice. Focus also on abs workouts. Leg lifts, etc.

Just tell them you’re going to go to a certain area. If they want to come, let them. Just work out by yourself. They’ll eventually be fine and maybe they’ll try to step up!

Then you should already know, it's only the first week that's the hardest! Tame that appetite for 1 week, and you'll get back on track. :)

15-20lbs won't be hard for you. Track the inches, if not the weight. Your statement is very vague in detail as well. Do you work out? Are you looking for motivation? Are you trying to just see how long it will take? Are you male/female? Are you overweight or normal BMI? Plenty of questions that are needed to be answered,…

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10711745/before-and-after-progress/p1 I'll add that from last month. This is just yesterday though Starting 169lbs size 12 going 14 probably, 35 inch waist. Height at 5'5.5 Current is 129lbs size 4 going lower, 28 inch waist. Same height LOL! Goal: Abs! I don't want to be…

Impossible when there’s a world full of yummy food. Lol!

I consider me having a cheat day everyday! As long as it stays in my calorie count, plus If had a burger or French fries or idk fried chicken, etc.. it’s always a plus. My days off are difficult. Bf always asks to go out. I log them but they go over like couple thousands. I work it off again at gym and still consider it as…

Y’all are too kind. I know you can do it too guys. Go slow! Too fast is bad for the skin

Without noticing it, I think I do fast. I don’t eat after 12am and tend to eat first break at work between 720-800pm.

I think 2lbs a week is too fast for skin to keep up. To avoid loose skin, heard it’s 2lbs a month max weight loss? Build that muscle mass and less body fat to see where you’ll be at with that problem

Squishy fat indeed. To get abs you need to cut out fat, sweets, carbs. Including alcohol lol.. I’m in the same boat. Squishy fat makes it look like loose skin but nope.. at the end it’s still stubborn fat. 2 lbs a month is already too fast for our skin to keep up with I guess

Mild loose skin 😂

How did skin tightening go? Was it expensive and worth it by a bit? Did you ever try any abonne body cream?

I think there are alternatives to this though. Tummy tucks is a major surgery and it’s the cost as well. I’ve seen skin tightening a bit better of an option but the cost is semi the same as well. Breast lifts can be opted with chest excersizes, that I think I know. But the tummy more on laser? Excersizes as well. I’m…

🙏 thank you

Same boat.. 130 atm, just need 10lbs left. I want 13 so when water weight comes back in, I won’t feel as bad 😂

:smile: not until I get to my goal of being 19% body fat and also thank you both bullet and sexybug

I’m in complete awe right now on how often you guys work out. Do you guys take muscle recovery drinks or protein shakes after workout? My body seems to get sore after 2 days, 3 days max if I work out. I do overall. I do an elliptical to raise my heart rate for about a mile and then I start doing sit ups and some machines…

Currently 133.6 now but it took 2 weeks almost because of the holidays. Can I add anyone on here as a friend to see your journey too pls? :)

what is your height? im almost at the same goal as you

Thank you everybody! The last few pounds are the hardest! Focusing on maintaining weight but keeping the work outs strong! Adding more than cardio now because my body is used to the normal work outs I’ve been doing. The lighter you get, the harder it is t lose the weight. But we a got this!!! You guys ok great too!

Kickingitup, I honestly don’t limit myself much. If I am wanting to eat something like a steak, I would add a lot of vegetables to the meal and get full off of the vegetables. I do workout like at least 3x a week for 45 minutes since I still go to work. My jobs not a sedative position so I’m always moving around. At work I…

Don’t be ashamed going to gym. You’re there for yourself, not them. Think of it as a home away from home where you can run away from actual life .
