you look amazing! how have you done this?? any certain weights program?

bump

combination of burning fat, so cardio and eating less, along with abs exercises. running is great for getting a flat stomach because it uses your abs too.

Wow! You are a beautiful lady! Great job and keep up the hard work and dedication!

not at all. I am allergic to it so I always ask when eating at Asian food restaurants. If they are offended they probably don't care too much about their food or customers. You have a right to know what you are eating (coming from someone with a long list of food allergies)

sounds like me! Just turned 21 a little over a month ago and have packed on 5lbs of nice beer weight. ugggghh. looks like we are all in the same boat!

I would think that as long as you burn the same amount of calories both ways, it's your choice. However, I have found that I tend to burn more calories when I do two short workouts because I get tired/bored when I do one long workout and don't work as hard at the end of the hour long workout. I try harder for two separate…

great work! i started 30 day shred today. i have tried it a couple times but have gotten bored with doing the same workout 10 days in a row. hoping i can stick with it so that i get great results like yours!

can tell a huge difference especially in your face! keep up your hard work, it's definitely paying off :)

Born and raised on Key West. Up north for college but I will be returning soon and am a Conch for life :)

I completely reccommend Jillian as well. I am a fan of her Extreme Shed and Shred DVD. It mixes yoga, martial arts and strength training with some high-intensity cardio intervals. It's quick moving so it's hard to get bored with it!

what an awesome difference. looks like you built some muscle too! great work!!

I am about 2 inches shorter than 5'6" but would love to have some more friends around the same height. I feel as though I am in the same situation where I don't have a ton to lose but would love to lose inches and body fat. Everyone feel free to add me :)

I tend to not like "toxic" relationships either, my opinion (and what I would do), is to just totally ignore her and put her out of your life. You have clearly shown that you are a strong woman, rise above her bull! She doesn't deserve a thought it your head (except maybe in the back of your mind to keep you going during…

excellent! your smile in the second pic is adorable! you deserve to smile for all the hard work you've done!

20 year old who's been on here a while! Looking for more friends for me motivate and to help keep me accountable! Add me =)

I agree, I have tried to become a morning workout person in the past and just ended up having a less productive workout because I was to sleepy and not awake the whole time. The best time for me is in the evening around 7.

I know you said that you go at lunch but maybe try to recruit a friend to go with! I always feel less silly when I am with someone I know.

You are SO not the only one! I am in college and have this same feeling all the time at the University gym. It's really hard but I've also gotten better at just trying to pretend like they don't exist even though I am regularly the only female in the weight room. I miss my gym at home that had a women's only section. it's…

so happy to find some girls around my age! It's so tough to balance school, work and trying to exercise. not to mention resisting all the yummy food around... add me!

I know it's been said 10000000 times before but drink tons of water. I usually chug a tall glass before I eat a meal. Also eating things that are higher in fiber help keep me feeling fuller throughout the day. I feel your pain though! It's tough to be on the 1200 calorie plan.

Wow! You look hott! I am only 20 and would love to have a body like yours. You look so athletic. The strength training you mentioned later really paid off.

you look a whole new person!! congrats!! this is a testament to how hardwork really can pay off!! you're an inspiration

I love Jillian too. I haven't tried Shred It With Weights but I like the 30 day shred for a quick workout (I don't do the program but use the routines) I also like her No More Trouble Zones Tape. I would also recommend Chris Freytag, she has workouts on Exercise TV (I get them for free ondemand with my cable even though I…

I lost my first 10lbs without exercise and only ate 1200 calories a day for about a month. After the first 5 days or so your body gets used to less food, at least mine did. My tips would be to eat lots of fiber and drink tons of water. It's amazing how it fills you up. I also drink 2 cups of water before my meals. It fills…

The gym is always a good option. I know you said you couldn't find alone time but for me even just going into a bathroom/other secluded space for 5 minutes and closing my eyes can help so much when I am in a grumpy mood. I also try to remind myself that things could always be worse. I hate those days though. Sometimes you…

i am a junior in college, so i know how hard it can be to stay on track with all of the stress and temptation around you. this makes your accomplishment even more awesome. GO YOU

I feel for you, as I am struggling with the same thing. The worst part is that my rooommate is constantly complaining about her weight, how I've gotten "so skinny" and how we can no longer share clothes. Then when I invite her to go to the gym with me or eat something healthy, she always has an excuse. That part just…

diet coke, no questions asked. I know how bad it is for you. I've tried to give it up but if I haven't had one by 3pm nothing else will be satisfying until i have one

haha I would probably be so happy i would forget to be embarrassed!
