You look amazing! Go you!

Wow, you look like you've lost more, good work!

Great job!

I talked to them about giving me a different trainer. One that is very familiar with barbell squats and women lifting heavy. The one I saw wanted me to use machines, which I did. But I want to get these squats right so I can continue.

Muroo, I point them quite a bit, but that causes my knees to push out to watch, which he said causes me to use my legs instead of my glutes.

Krokador, I'll look into trying different squats. I have tried to squat over a chair a few times, yesterday the trainer was still baffled at my form with even doing that. I wish it wasn't so hard for me. Thanks for the tips aplhabetachee! I definitely can't afford physio or orthodics right now, but I'll keep it in mind for…

Thanks krokador! I do not have long legs. Probably the opposite. But I walk with my feet out and on my toes when at home. My knees naturally turn out when I bend. I have been stretching my hip flexors, ankles (lots and lots of work on my ankles and calf), and legs. For 6 months now. I'm starting to wonder if it's the way…

Way to go! It looks like you lost more than that. Good job.

I got mine when I was about 22 for my husband's birthday (he likes them). I took it out a couple years ago when I was pregnant but put it in a few times just to see if it closed. I haven't put it back in, mainly because I forget. My stomach is not flat anymore, but I don't like my belly button anymore after having a few…

Way to go you look great!

Wow ladies, you all look amazing!

That's great Anna! I'm about the same as you. I wasn't planning on losing 15 anyway because I like the rate I've been going at. But I did meet my personal goal of getting into the 160's by my birthday (Thursday) and I was 169.4. I didn't weigh in today as my son wasn't feeling well with a molar coming in. So I will go by…

Week 0 (starting weigh in) - 174.8 Week 1 - 175.2 Week 2 - 174.6 Week 3 - 175.0 Week 4 - 173.4 Week 5 - 173.0 Week 6 - 172.4 Week 7 - 173.2 Week 8 - away Week 9 - 170.8 Week - 10 170.4 Week 11 - 170.8 Up this week, but I was down earlier in the week. My time of the month is coming tonight or tomorrow so that is why I'm up…

There is a huge difference! Way to go, you look great!

Wow lharri, you are smoking through the challenge! Congrats on meeting your goal! I hear the rest of you on the frustration of losing slowly. Except I didn't have big loses before and just slowed down, my loss has been slow the whole way. But that's ok. Slow and steady wins the race (I just watched Sesame Street, lol ).

Week 0 (starting weigh in) - 174.8 Week 1 - 175.2 Week 2 - 174.6 Week 3 - 175.0 Week 4 - 173.4 Week 5 - 173.0 Week 6 - 172.4 Week 7 - 173.2 Week 8 - away Week 9 - 170.8 Week - 10 170.4 Down 4.4 lbs for challenge.

Way to go, you look wonderful! I am 5'4" and 170 and I don't look nearly as good as you.

You don't even look like the same person! Congrats, you look amazing!

Way to go, huge change! You look much younger now.

I have only lost 11 pounds in 5 months, but I have lost over 20 inches all over. Almost 4 inches off each; waist, stomach (around belly button), and hips. I haven't been working out this winter so the inches are slowing down a bit. I still have a long way to go. I figure by next fall I will be at my goal, but hopefully the…

Wow! Congrats to you, you look amazing!

Way to go Jen! I knew it would go soon. Anna, it is most likely just water. It is freaky though to see the scale go up. I'm not looking forward to that when spring comes and I start lifting again. Just keep track of inches. Week 0 (starting weigh in) - 174.8 Week 1 - 175.2 Week 2 - 174.6 Week 3 - 175.0 Week 4 - 173.4 Week…

Way to go, you look wonderful! I don't think it's slow at all. It's taken me 150 days to lose 10 pounds!

You look wonderful! Stronglifts did great things for you. I love it, but I can't wait for spring so I can get going again.

It will come down Jen. Like me it's water weight, but you've switched up your programs too and for me that always has me hold water. Thanks. I know right now it's water weight, but this stuff makes me crazy hungry. It is for people with stomach problems so it moves food out of the body very fast, so your tummy isn't full…

This was my first year watching the BL. I know they are losing way too fast, but it is cool too see the transformations. Rachel was one of my favorites and I was extremely shocked when I saw her come out. She wasn't just thin, but to me she looked sick. I really just hope she isn't and is healthyand just went overboard for…

It's probably just water. You would have to eat a ton over to gain that much weight. Next week will be better! Like me get on the water train.

That's great Anna! I wasn't losing all week. I wasn't eating enough and not very well. Then last night I pigged out and somehow I was down today. I will also have to try to drink more water because I've been so busy I'm just not drinking my usual amount. Week 0 (starting weigh in) - 174.8 Week 1 - 175.2 Week 2 - 174.6 Week…

Well done, you look great! You must feel great too.

You look fabulous, way to go!
