Just got my height measured yesterday 5'4.5" All this time I told everybody I was 5'6:blushing: ..lol Oh well. I want to get to 125 currently stuck at 142-144. Good Luck ladies :flowerforyou:

I'm in:blushing:

Wow! Great job!! I was wondering what -20 lbs looked like. That is my short term goal. Thanks for the motivation. Looking good!:drinker:

I am a mom of 3 + a fur baby :) 22yo, 9yo, 6yo I started lifting again :) @nielsonfam I love your Autism Awareness Pic :) near and dear to my heart

Sorry to sound ignorant. But, I have such a hard time understanding caloric deficit. All, I do is follow what MFP tells me. I was on 1200 calories and only ate that...period. I just upped my calories to 1540 now. Just because I was so weak/drained. It was getting really hard for me to work out without feeling like hell!

Thanks for all the feed back. I cant see myself doing more cardio. Just because I hate it! lol I will continue lifting and you are so right lifting faster makes my heart race ;) Lets see how the increase in calories works for me...I am happy I can eat more! Thanks everone!! Happy lifting :drinker:

Ha! I never thought about that..lol Thanks! It says 1540 cal which is much more reasonable. I was tired, starved and a wee bit *****y! :blushing: Is doing cardio once a week ok? Or should I increase it?

BUMP~ WOW!!! you ladies look awesome! Great inspiration. I hate hearing "if you lift weight your going to look like a man" or "I want to be toned.. I don't want muscle":explode: . I have heard this so much from women I know. I will show them! I plan on looking as hot as you all :flowerforyou:

Hang in there! I too started strong 5x5 about 4 weeks ago. And at first...the damn scale said I gained weight! So I got upset, frustrated and was lacking motivation. But I stuck it out and guess what.....I see muscle! My clothes fit better, I feel better and the scale dropped a few pounds. Not as much as I would like but I…

I use to drink soda a lot...then went to Diet and I honestly don't like it. So now I drink 1 regular soda a week if that. Or just went I go to a restaurant...since they add tons of ice. That is my little treat :) Just remember **** Everything in moderation is key. Took me long to realize that but I finally got it.

I seen myself as 7.5% bigger than I actually am. And it said I'm a perfect hourglass! Now that is news to me...lol I guess I see myself way different. I have a big problem with self confidence. I totally lack it. Something I need to work on. Thanks for the site. :flowerforyou:

#3 looks really cute on you! Compliments your features :)

Congrats on the band size!!! Awesome work!! :drinker: I went from a 36DD to a 34DDD. But I am not complaining.. :blushing: I hope (I get to a 32 soon)

The ab challenge is easy...right now..lol I currently am doing my second round of 30 Day Shred (on level 1) Squat & Ab challenge and 3-4 days of weight lifting (just started that). Some day......I will take a picture...lol! Someday :blushing:

I did it and it made a difference...sorry no pictures:embarassed: I have not worked up the courage to show any pictures....but I am on day 3 again :) Also doing the 30 day AB challenge.

Personally, I took 1 rest day a week. Did each level for 10 days. Lost a total of 12 inches and 6 lbs,

Way to go!!! I just finished 30 DS a week ago too :)

I might not know you but do know you are human. And very brave in sharing your story...maybe, just maybe you have already helped someone reading your post. I can't say I know what you are going through but can imagine it is a very scary rollercoaster ride. I wish you all the luck in the world. Stay strong and have faith.…

Good luck to you all...I still need another 17lbs to go. :flowerforyou:

Wow! Your body is awesome! I want a body like that! I will use you as my motivation. How can I start free weight lifting at home? I don't have a gym membership. What is your routine? ................Congrats! :drinker:

Awesome. :flowerforyou:

I am on L2D8. I find I can do this level better than L1 but I sweat much, much more with L2...weird. Anyway, I too get bored of the same work out every day but hang in there. I am also doing the 30D Squat Challenge..ouch!

My thighs have and will always rub...waa:sad: So, I wear shorts under dresses and Bermuda shorts (but those ride up too) bleh!

Every single one of you look AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much for posting your pics and progress. It makes me want to work that much harder. I needed this tread. :drinker: congrats to you all.

5'5" 144lbs 41- 32- 42 I have a long way to go... Took a lot of courage for me to post my measurements :embarassed:

Love it!!! I too let myself have something that I really love...and will let Jillian kick my butt a little more that week. Do it! We are human after all. :) I love CAKE, FRIES and wine too! :drinker:

I too have been off sugar for about 7 days. But I am taking medication as well for glucose intolerance. My issue is I going Insane!!! I am craving a soda or Ice cream! this is making me feel anxious even. I have totally changed my diet due to health issues...no sugar, low fat/cholesterol foods. I feel Im going nuts!

Had a Dr's appt today and she put me on 500mg of Metformin. I have never taken it before :indifferent: so I really don't know what to expect. She also started me on cholesterol lowering medication....New Year New Meds :cry:
