10-mile run NSV (w/ pics)
I ran in a 10-mile event last weekend after a month long cardio-hiatus due to a new weight lifting program I started. I kept a 9:39/mile pace and never stopped running! I finished in 1 hour 36 minutes and felt amazing! I couldn't do this 80 pounds ago!

Vacation NSV!
The last time I went on a big vacation, I was 200 pounds at only 5' tall. Determined not to look like a fat, American tourist, my goal on my week long trip in Paris was to blend in with the locals. Now that I am down over 80 pounds, my husband and I passed the test. Not one gypsy vendor came up to us and try to sell us…

Nasolabial folds and weight loss
For others who have lost a significant amount of weight, have you noticed that your Nasolabial folds are deeper, thus making you look older? I was looking at pictures of myself at 115 pounds (from my highest at 200) and I'm looking pretty haggard in the face for a 26 year old. I've gained 5 pounds and I've noticed the…

Kenpo X aggravates groin injury. Help?
I pulled my groin in November of last year when I slipped in the mud while running. I didn't run for 6 weeks and it seemed to be okay. Lately with the Kenpo X workout with all the pivots and kicks, I've aggravated it again and it brings me to tears it hurts so much. I'm on week 4 of phase 1 and I'm supposed to do Kenpo X…

P90X and running too much?
I just started week three of P90X Classic. I've been following the program schedule, with the exception of switching out Yoga for other workouts. I do P90X is the morning and then at night I run for about an hour with my husband. I'll burn anywhere from 220-380 calories during my morning workouts and then another 500-800…

NSV! 2-piece bathing suit!
I haven't worn a swim suit in 15 years, let alone a two-piece! I made this 1940s swimsuit yesterday and can't wait to wear it at the lake this summer! No way I would have worn it at 200 pounds!

I surpassed my goal! (pics)
200 pounds: 114.5 pounds: I haven't been as this weight since I was 10 years old! My upper body has toned up amazingly well, I just need to work on my legs and I'll be a happy camper!

Upper & lower body don't match
I've pretty much met my goal weight and right now my upper body is pretty rockin'. I have a 25.75" waist, I have visible biceps in my arms when I flex, my face is thinner, but my ribs are clearly visible on my chest and my collar bones and shoulders are jutting out so I look almost emaciated. However, my lower body looks…

80 pounds lost on a long journey...
My twin sister just found our 'Fat Years' photographs and I was completely shocked to see what I used to look like. Long story short, I was an inactive teenager who sat and watched TV all day and ate WAY too much. By the time I was 13 I was almost 200 pounds at only 5' tall. I was wearing 36 men's pants and size large…

Shred It With Weights at Costco for CHEAP!
I picked up a copy of Jillian Michael's newest DVD this morning at Costco here in California for $7.99! What a steal! I used her 30 Day Shred and No More Trouble Zones DVD these past few months and have lost 25 pounds, so I'm excited to see how the new DVD compares.
