Look up Michelle Lewin and Christina Vargas. Those women heavy lift and they got the curves! They are my fitness inspirations for sure! I don't think you need to worry about losing "BAM" as proven by these ladies!

I have to say that when I was following a strict 1200-1400 cal plan, I did lose weight, without exercising too. I went from 146 to 120 (I am 5'0") when I was 24-25 years old. I was majorly fat though even though I was skinny. Now, I'm at 158 trying to desperately just get rid of fat (not so much focusing on weight, since I…

Yep, I saw the doctor last week and we were talking about my weight loss struggle. While a lot of my issue is that I need to focus more on my diet (calorie counting and eating more clean), she said how 30 min of activity a day is important for health and for weight maintaining. If I really want to be serious about my…

I definitely need to lose about 40 lbs this year for my sister's up-coming wedding in September... It's been super hard and very frustrating process. I'm just tired of trying to squeeze in clothes and getting very depressed about it.

Another suggestion, since we are not able to see your diary, would be to maybe not concentrate so much on the calories, but what it is you are eating. Maybe try to just base your diet around natural/clean foods only. Eating low carb & high protein on the days that you are not strength training. A program I am doing right…

It's harder in some ways, because we have to limit our calorie intake way more than taller people. We don't require as much calories on a daily basis as someone who is 6" taller than us. However, we can lose 5 lbs and people will notice a difference, versus someone who is taller and will take them about 10 lbs for people…

THIS is INCREDIBLE!!!! I want your body!!! I saw that you said you focus on macros and maintain roughly at 1650 calorie daily. Would you mind sharing what your typical day is like?

That's crazy that your fitbit charge hr+ hasn't shipped yet! I would contact their support. I ordered mine on Feb 5th and emailed them after two weeks, the next week, it shipped so I got mine the next week after I had emailed them. All in all, three weeks total.

My calorie goal is about 1500 (ish). My main focus is to just get more lean (I have a lot of body fat!). I'm not trying to focus so much on weight loss (although I would love to take off about 35 lbs), but more focus on my body physique. This is why I'm focusing on trying to get more protein in my diet so I don't lose…

I just got the Fitbit Charge HR+ and I am OBSESSED but I know some people really do love their Polar FT4s. My Fitbit Charge HR+ syncs with an android (I have an iPhone, but I do know it still works with the Android) and MFP. I'm not sure how accurate it is in calculating the calories during my work-outs since they seem to…

You go girl!!! I loved your REAL advice and tips! I've been working at trying to drop 35 lbs for the last year or so and just not getting anywhere. I know consistency is key, and that is one thing I'm lacking. Keep up the good work!!!
-
Hate to be a echo, but everyone is right. Your best bet is to continue the weight training to tone the muscle,. But if you really want to lose the flab, then the best way is to eat clean (not necessarily diet) and add in some cardio (if you are looking to lose weight). Looking lean in 80% diet and 20% exercise. You cannot…

I saw people recommended YouTube on here with fitness blender and Blogilates. My favorites on YouTube are also Jessica Smith TV, ToneItUp, and XHIT Daily, and BeFiT! I actually love doing YouTube work-outs on days when I don't feel like going to the gym.

I saw that you want to use for appetite control since you want to eat every couple of hours. What is it that you eat currently? I don't see a problem with eating every couple of hours, but it depends on what you are eating. Maybe adjust the food you have to more healthy choices and concentrate on getting more fiber and…

I'm no fitness expert, but be careful about over-doing it right away. I know your goal is weight loss and losing fast; but too much too soon can be dangerous as well. You didn't put the weight on over-night, so taking it off won't happen over-night as well. Everything I have read has said has said that in the beginning,…

Yay!! I finally got the email from Fitbit that my Charge +HR shipped today! So it took 2 weeks and 2 business days for it to ship off of backorder. Now just gotta wait for shipment which could be 1-2 weeks...
-
You go girl!!! I have 40 lbs I need to lose as well... I just cannot seem to even budget 10 of it, since I've been trying for the past year now...

My sister's wedding is in September (bachelorette party on a yacht in August). I'm the maid of honor and my dress is a curvy body shaper... I need to also get down about 40 lbs!!! But I feel like I've been saying this since September, and I have maintained the same weight since then... :(
-
I hear the frustration... I bought my fitbit charge hr in the black color in size small on Feb 5; the email said it was on backorder but it would ship in 1-2 weeks, yesterday was 2 weeks and no shipment yet... And no update from Fitbit on when it will ship.... I'm frustrated!
-
Yay for fun-sized people!!! I am 5'0" and currently hovering around 158lbs... Disgusted with myself since this is my biggest weight ever. I'm trying desperately to get down to about 120 lbs by August/September for summer/bachelorette party/wedding for my sister. I also am turning 30 in April, so I would just like to be…
-
Yay for the motivation!!! I have 6 months to lose some serious fat for my sister's bachelorette party on a yacht! I hope to look as fit as possible and maybe, just maybe, be able to wear a bikini! You ladies give me motivation that it could maybe happen! Currently, I am 5'0" weighing in at 158 lbs, I'd like to get down 30…

My sister is getting married September 2015, and I'm the maid of honor! So I'm looking to drop about 35 lbs for her wedding and bachelorette party. Plus, I have a strong feeling that I may be possibly engaged shortly after her wedding... *fingers crossed* So I wanna look great for her wedding, but even better in…

sharmaynet, I would set your goal to be 1 lb loss a week (anything higher will bring your calories down). It's about doing the loss slow and steady. Also, if you walk or are active (working out 3 times a week or at least walking 30 min a day) set your goals that you are slightly active, this will increase your calorie…

I did it once 4 years ago. Gained it all back afterwards plus some more once I stopped buying their food... Now I'm just trying to change my lifestyle completely.
-
Exactly what this person said! Take it from me, I also had to do a over-haul on myself as well. I, just like you, do not cook either, so this was extremely hard to change. So my first step was to just try to make one meal a day at home. This started with dinner. I buy frozen chicken or seafood (like salmon or cod) and cook…

My NSV: perfecting single jumps in jumping rope class at the gym! Even though I'm pretty sure I just died doing it... So close to almost throwing up or passing out so many times during the 25 min class.... Finally, after going 3 other times beforehand and only being able to skip rope, I'm so proud of myself for making the…

Wow!!! How'd you do it so quickly?! Almost 7 lbs in 9 months is crazy!!! I, myself, need to lose about 35 lbs in 6 months, so I'd love to know what worked for you!
-
How'd you do it?!?! You have similar stats to me, (5'0" and 158 lbs and need/want to get to about 120). Tell me your secret woman!!!

Have you weighed yourself on a different day again to make sure this one day that you weighed yourself wasn't just an abnormal day? I know I weigh myself every day, and I will say that my weight fluctuates a LOT. I would say to increase your water intake and weigh yourself again on another day. Everyone above here is…
