Pear shaped women
I am looking for other pear shaped women to help me with motivation. I'm afraid that no matter how much I lose, I will always look big due to my large hips and small bust. Can anyone out there help me out with some pictures? I want to know that my curse will not keep me from looking good in a bikini soon... :( You can see…

Saggy belly pooch...
I know we don't like talking about it... The dreaded pooch! I was just wondering if anyone else here seems to have saggy skin where the pooch is... I guess mine is from where I was pregnant with my son. Will this ever go back? Mine doesn't look that bad until I bend over or if I'm down in the push up position. Can anyone…

Accuracy of Heart Rate Monitor: Inflated Calories Burned?
Question: My husband bought me a Timex heart rate monitor today. I tested it out and it says I burned 420 calories during my 30 minute circuit training. I don't think this can be accurate but I'm not sure. My heart rate never went below 150 and maxed out at 190. Any takers on this?

Size 14 down to a size 0/2. :)
Since I am pregnant with baby #2, I have decided to post my "success story" before I gain a lot of weight and have to do it all over again! I started out at about 195 pounds right after my son was born (picture #1.) I lost a little bit of weight on my own before I found MFP when I weighed 188 pounds. The second picture…

*Being brave* Pics of 30 pounds lost in 4 months
The before picture is from February 2012 and the second one is from last night. I was about 155 pounds and had never worked out before (it was my pre 30 Day Shred picture which is why I look so unhappy, haha!) I am now 126 pounds! I still have some toning to do but I am happy to see a difference!

Anyone doing this at home?
Hi, I'm wanting to get into heavy lifting as soon as I'm cleared by my surgeon (I had my gallbladder taken out 4 days ago.) Is anyone doing this at home? I'm not one to work out in front of people. Is it possible to do this at home? What would be the easiest/cheapest way to do it if I can at home? Any advice would be…

Mother's Day 2011 vs Mother's Day 2012 *pics*
Going through pictures from last year, I was surprised to see what I looked like this time last year! Losing almost 60 pounds has made a huge difference! I just wish I had a full body picture to compare it to! But here it is! What's awesome is that my mom has lost weight too! So double yay! :happy:

Naked or with clothes?
Which weight do you count? I know you are supposed to use the weight from first thing in the morning, but do you count the one in your birthday suit or with clothes on? It's only a 1.5 pound difference for me but I'm just curious what everyone else thinks... So with that said, naked or with clothes? :blushing:

PICS 50 pounds lost: Goodbye "Mommy pants!"
This time last year I was in a size 14 jeans (the ones I am wearing in the 2nd picture.) Today, I went to American Eagle and bought a pair that are size 6! Here's to hoping I can continue to tone! Thanks to everyone for the encouragement!

Continuing to lose after taking a break...
I decided to look back at my 30 Day Shred results and discovered that when I took a 3 day break, I continued to lose inches despite the fact that I wasn't exercising! I somehow lost 2 inches during my break between the Shred and Ripped in 30! That goes to show you that building muscle really does help you lose a lot in the…

Extra skin from weight loss/pregnancy
I have recently lost a lot of weight, at least for me. I weigh less now than I did when I graduated high school even though I've had a baby now. At my heaviest, I tipped the scales at 221 pounds (the day my son was born.) I now weigh 142 pounds (I'm 5'5 by the way.) My body looks awesome, except for the extra skin I have…

Before/after pictures

Is anyone else terrified of Level 2?
I made the mistake of checking out level 2 and I am scared! I've done 8 days straight of level 1 and it still kicks my butt! I hope I can handle level 2 because Tuesday will be the day I have to start it...

15 pounds can make a huge difference! (pics)
In the past five weeks, I have lost 15 pounds. I really couldn't tell that much of a difference until I found a picture of me at my starting weight! I am so excited to finally be losing weight again and I can't wait until I finish the 30 Day Shred and see the results then!

I'm so proud of myself!!!
I tried on some of my old jeans just for kicks only to realize that they finally fit again! I am able to fit into the jeans that I wore for my high school senior pictures!!! I am so excited! I have a ways to go but that is the motivation I needed to keep going! If I can do it, so can all of you! :)

Working out but gaining weight?
Ok, so I need some advice. A few days ago I started working out using Your Shape Fitness Evolved with the kinect and I have actually gained a pound. Gut feeling tells me it's muscle build but could I really have gained a pound worth of muscle in three days? I miss getting on the scale and seeing my numbers go down every…
