Btw I had eight kids with that body with oldest being 28 and youngest being 5 so plastic surgery did help me a little

Still working on body not perfect I weight in @136 but am short @only 5'0. I am 44.

Sorry for underwear pic but it's only from the back and it shows my hamstrings and back muscles!!!!

It took two years.

I think weight lifting works best for us shorties! When we aim to loose ten to fiifeen lbs it could be 10 percent of our entire body mass so building muscle does the most good and we seem to see the the greatest benefit. I have lost 26 lbs from 162 with a goal of 120. I am currently at 136.

I have not yet tried kettle bell but I too use strong lifts and have lost 22lb so far from 162 down to 136. I was a size 12 to a size 4-6. I swear by it! I hate cardio! I do Zumba just because I love to dance but that is only 2 times a week for fun. My main workouts are 39-40 minutes of strong lifts. I don't even do it…

I started at 162 two years ago and am now 136. I mostly lift weights and do Zumba. I gave birth to Eight kids and am 43.. So any body can do this!!!

Being able to Squat 100 lbs when I currently weigh 136. Aiming to squat my body weight or more!!!

I am 5 ft nothing and weigh 138 down from 162. My goal is 120 and I prersonally never want to loose my thighs or butt! I think thicker thighs and butt are sexy as hell and show my hard earned muscles from squatting heavy *kitten* weights but that's just me. My goal is to be strong not skinny because muscle curves look…

I started at 165 and am 5'0. I am currently 139. I have to cut carbs to lose and I lift heavy weights to see any real difference. I love that it shapes my body besides just loosing lbs. I am ok with current weight as my pant size dress size is size 6 and I am getting new boobies!!!! You don't get to pick where you lose…

I promised myself I would squat 100lbs by the end of March and I did it. I also did three sets of five with 95 lbs. So I weigh 139 and I am squatting 100 lbs not too shabby!!!

buffet of any kind. I tell myself I will only eat protein and veggies but I can never stop at just that..Even slop troth Ryan's type of buffets where food is not that good. I think they pump in food endorphins or something to make you hungry in those places!

Not a study but my 16 year old daughter went on hormonal BC to regulate periods. She is extremely active runs track practice five days a week. She was on the pill for three months and gained 10 lbs all while running 5+ miles every day with no change in calories at all. Came off the pill and within one month was back down…

Mine is kind of a dumb blonde moment..I asked my husband to feel my arm because it felt swollen on the back-tricep...it wasnt swollen- It was muscle!

Tried on clothes at Kohls.. I was able to wear a medium shirt, size eight pants, and a six dress...Whoo Whooo!

Barefeet..I swear gripping with my toes helps me and just cannot grip as well with shoes.Yes even at thegym..I just spray downthe floor and wipe after putting shoes back on.

No human being can be fat..Fat is a type of tissue. A person can have fat but they cannot be fat..Just like a person can have beauty, strength, a sense of humor, intelligence...they are all traits that make up the entire person. However, your "friend" is an idiot!

Just curious about why not 5x5 now and doing the split? Can 5x5 alone get good results? I just started it at the beginning of march mostly because I hate cardio but not sure if SL alone with good diet can get weightloss of around 20 lbs while building muscle.

{"I never wanted to be scary skinny (I'm very small framed, my 106 looks like a good 115-120)." Is this your current weight? If you are 5ft 2 inches then you do not need to loose weight. BMI 19.5 is healthy. You want to exercise/lift weights for health that is great but not to loose weight.

Moving up to eight lb hand weights for bicep curls in circuit training class. I think the lifts in strong lifts 5x5 help a lot but endurance is still a struggle doing 3 sets of 15 during that class but I will still take three lb increase!

That is awesome! Keep up the good work!

It does not weigh more but it does take up less space. Hence a person with lower body fat will be leaner looking.

I saw a few short people like myself 5 ft nothing...I am trying to understand the BMR.. being short does that mean my BMR is lower and that 1200 is appropriate for me but not as likely for someone 5'10? How does this translate to morbidly obese people? do they need to eat more calories to move a larger body and does that…

I am not certain your numbers were right. 800 calories a day net would result in weight loss even in so called starvation mode in the long term. One glass of milk adds 300 calories and you did not list any dairy. If you are pre-diabetic you may need medication as the increased insulin in your blood stream is going to make…

topomax also called dopomax because you become very forgetful. So become skinny but dumb. It makes you not taste carbonation and more serious side effects are it can make you stop sweating so you can overheat esp when exercising. It can also cause vision problems. Great drug for seizures and bi-polar if you can stand the…

If a person drinks coffee every day and then stops they are going to get a "caffiene" headache..why because their brain is chemically addicted to caffeine while they also may have the physical habit of reaching for coffee. While caffeine is not has hard to quit as heroin and the withdrawal symptoms are not as strong It is…

So how bout that Carnation Instant Breakfast? I am a little OCD about foods in the since that I have rules about what can touch..EX corn can touch mash potatoes but not green beans. The thought of drinking a meal kind of grosses me out. My husband refers to beer as a pork chop in a can..maybe thats why meal replacement…

I would like to join!
