I love it--There's only one in SoCal, but luckily its about 10 minutes from my house. Hugely expensive, but I love the atmosphere, and the machinery is always available, even during the busiest times.

Great job!!!

Great Job!! What a great story! So happy for you!

Way more room in my bra drawer...down from a 42DD to a 36C---the bras look so, so tiny to me...LOL.....

Thanks everyone. I am super happy with the changes I have made in my life and beyond excited about all the fun things we have in store for us this year. As far as dietary changes @munzinni, I just started counting calories here. I was pretty faithful about it for 4-5 months. Then after I started lifting, I started really…

Great Job!! You look awesome!!

WAY TO GOOOOOOOO!!!!! That's awesome!!! Congratulations!

Congrats!!!! Yes--keep one pair!! I did and that is now my profile pic, and the pic that I have sent to friends when they've asked how much I've lost. I have one friend that kept that pic as her screensaver at work so she would be motivateed at lunch to go work out....It is astonishing to have that kind of change, and…

Such an awesome story!! ONe thing I loved about your post besides that fact that you could make a post like this, was that you started with some weight and HR numbers, and then never referred to them again. YOu only talk about all the new things you could try and succeed in--that's really what fitness is all about. Great…

Thanks all! I really appreciate the feedback. I'm going to let her go on as is. She is comfortable with it--I didnt tell her to go that low--she just started doing that. I wanted her to start lifting to PROTECT her knees. She is a 13 year old soccer player, and I blew my knee for the first of three times, at 15. I really…

That's the one! :-) Edited to add: Check out the Stronglifts 5x5 for women group here on MFP. This sticky is great: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/560459-stronglifts-5x5-summary

Yes!!! Babywearing!! My youngest is 6 and seeing that pic with the little one on your back, just brought back a flood of cuddly memories. Thank you!

I have a Fitbit One and while I wouldnt say I LOVE it, I really do like it an awful lot. I mainly just use it to get a general idea of how active I am away from my true exercise (lifting and running). From a calorie burn standpoint, there's lots of stuff it doesnt work for like the lifting, any circuit training, biking,…

Congrats!!! So intimidating to start, but so liberating to push through anyway!! Have fun!

Lifting my beer, my full ice cream spoon, and my pizza slice :-) JK Squats Deadlifts (always works me, but i hate them) Pendlay rows or OHP (but i hate OHP too, and since I'm already doing Deads.........) Great thread--thank you!

I LOVE the changes to my body!! I have been at it for about 4.5 months, and my butt is rising, stomach flattening, shoulders looking firmer--more straight across. But my arms--my gosh! I am like Christiano Ronaldo now with my mirror obsession--It really is embarassing how much I love my arms. Still a little jiggly on the…

After seeing so many women get awesome results lifting, I wanted to try too--but I was scared. Read this post and began trying to work up the confidence to move over to the squat rack. FInally after 3 weeks of hemming and hawing about it--I did it!! It was the best feeling. Totally fell in love, and have been going strong…

Lunch entree: -Salad with Bolthouse Ranch yogurt dressing and a half turkey sandwick with a slice of pepperjack -1 egg and 2 egg white scrambled with 50g of extra lean ground turkey that's ben seasoned with cumin, black beans, corn and salsa. I also sometimes add avocado or cheese depending on the rest of my meal plan for…

Profile pic! 6 months progress as of Monday!

Wow!! What a story! you are indeed a strong and beautiful person inside and out. What lucky kids to have a mom like you!

Good Workout last night! Started SL in early March and I've just switched to 5x3. Feeling slightly guilty about this (why?? I have no idea) . Anyway, I did, and I have to say that I loved having time to do some core work, and assisted pullups and ALSO having time to treadmill walk without being at the gym for over 2 hrs!!!…

Great joB! You must feel awesome!

You are SOOOO right!! Great work! Great post!

YOu can see the happiness shining through in the pic! Great job!

Wonderful stroy! Thank you for sharing! You look young and happy, and your round belly is the best part of the last picture!

Great job!! That is some good dedication!

Congrats to everyone!! Since most of us dont wear the number on the scale around our necks, the NSV's are really what make these journeys fun. I have had several (lots of new, smaller clothes, compliments, new ID badge at work with my skinnier face) but my fave was yesterday. I picked my daughter up to take her to a class.…
