  • I'm 5'2" This is my before and during. I am still trying to loose a little more and tone as I go but I'm much happier then I was!!!! Before 187 lbs size 16s were so tight, I needed to wear 18s or loose weight. I chose the latter option ;) Durning 140/145 lbs (I fluctuate and am kinda of stuck at the moment) and a size 10,…
  • THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for sharing this. I've lost about 45 lbs. But lately, I have been in such a hover mode with these current 5 lbs. I bounce between 140-145. I want to loose another 10 maybe 20 but no matter my effort it is going nowhere!!!! So frustrating! I feel great though! I joined the gym to include weight…
  • I had a lot more to loose then you and did but I am also struggling the last 10/15 lbs. They just won't go away! It is sooooooo annoying! I ate perfectly for two weeks and lost all of 6 oz, then woke up one morning and 4 were back. I did nothing different. I know this is not the smallest I can be. This is the smallest I've…
  • Running is a wonderful thing! I'm a total addict! LOL I too was never a runner (previous smoker in fact) and I started running in Sept last year. I've since ran a half marathon and many many 5Ks along with Warrior Dash :). I now have 2 half marathons and 3 5Ks lined up for the fall ;) Great job on your loss!!!! You look…
  • Still trying to loose a little more and tone but I'm loving my progress so far! I'm 5'2" and after having my son gained a lot of weight. Took getting all but 10 lbs from the weight I was when I delivered before I knew it was time to change. I'm like you, I need progress pix!!!! I love them! Before at 187 lbs and my 16s…
  • Thanks everyone. fanipack I decided to do more fruits and vegs today then I have been to see if that helps. I'm cutting down the dairy and nuts more. I could eat an entire bag of the nut mix I buy it's so good. So I'm taking my snacks and doing more whole/raw foods. That's gotta help LOL Hariby, they better go away…
  • I'm 5'2" and have lost 45 lbs. This is my first summer wearing a bikini in over 10 years (my profile pic :) )
  • Thanks. I run a lot. I did Shred off and on for awhile. Then recently was doing Insanity. Now I am doing strength training too at Planet Fitness. I'm trying to just focus on being stronger, more fit and toned. I am grateful I haven't gained but it's frustrating those last lbs won't drop!
  • Mine is Salma Hayek. I am only 5'2" and have always had hips, thighs and bust. She is also 5'2" and curvy as we all know. She weighs 115 and looks stunning in my opinion so I kind of look at that for maybe a goal but my weight has been in hover mode for months now :( so frustrating. I'm still trying to hit that 130 goal!
  • I battle it too. You are so not alone. I have no clue how to kick it but I work hard everyday at it.
  • I so needed this post to remind me the scale sucks, pay no attention to it LOL Today I bench pressed 80 lbs. I couldn't do 30 10 years ago in high school! I was so surprised! Then on the pec fly machine I used to only do 20. I did 40 today! Then my brother in law snuck and put the weight at 55 and without knowing it, did…
  • I kept my ex husbands last name and trust me, by NO means am i still hung up on him. We were together 5 years and after 2 weeks of marriage, yes weeks, he cheated and continued to for the next two months before I threw in the towel. He made his choice. My point is I had JUST got my name legally changed which anyone who has…
  • My legs and arms! Neither has looked this good ever! They just get better and better too.
  • I'm western NC as well, where you at? I'm in Gastonia :)
  • Start doing arm workouts. You have to workout as you go so you tone as you go or you'll be left with the extra :(
  • I did over and over for a year off and on. I had great results and with walking (which later progressed to running) I had great results. I am now doing Insanity, which without doing 30DS for awhile I would have never been able to handle!
  • I have never been smaller then 150 (once saw 145 for a brief time at 17 years old). I am also 5'2" and never had a flat tummy. I had a c-sec so I doubt I'll ever have a perfectly flat tummy but I am def at my thinnest and lightest and I'd like to think my stomach is about at it's flattest :)
  • <wearing that little number on vaca this past week :) Haven't wore a bikini in TEN YEARS! My scale hasn't been dropping lately (last 10 lbs SUCK) but little things like having the confidence to wear this was an amazing NSV for me :)
  • Still have a lot of toning to do but I feel good in it! First bikini in 10 years!
  • I listen to Pandora Radio while working it. I set it to Godsmack and enjoy! :) Everything from Disturbed, Sevendust, A Perfect Circle, Three Days Grace, and of course Godsmack comes on it!
  • I have found that if I adjust the watch or strap it corrects itself. It is as if it is not totally on right so it's getting mixed readings. It's such a pain though.
  • I LOVE that idea! I ran my first half a month ago :) this Sat is my first Warrior Dash. That was my bday present from my honey :) I just still have that horrible connection to food and events/rewards that I'm working on. It's so hard to break.
  • LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
  • I agree with the PP, just go to the dr. It's better to pay $200 and have it done right then DIY, get an infection, have to deal with THAT and then be left a nice scar for a reminder. My fiance' has them all over his chest and back. :( He is SO self conscious of them as well.
  • You will find that you physically CAN'T drink it before you know it! I drank soda through an IV basically I was so hooked on it. I was like Water? WTF IS THAT??? But since getting healthier I knew I needed to cut it back and kind of just did your trick. Before I knew it I had went quite awhile without it. I have no clue…
  • I always get a "food hangover" after too :( however just like an alcohol hangover don't stop me from drinking again, neither will the food hangover LOL **note: I'm a mom to a toddler, I drink all of handful of times a year LOL
  • LOVE THAT! you expressed my feelings completely with that! That is the battle I face every single time!!!
  • OMG I had a week like that the week before last!
