(Sorry for all the links, im always mobile so it's all i can do)

Please don't mind the dirty mirror my girls like to play infront of it & dd1 has been caught kissing herself.. She says she's just so pretty like a princess she can't help herself lol.


I'm so happy with the results I'm determined to keep this!

Good job!

Thanks   im just scared of it coming back now lol. Atleast i found my motivation to keep it up.

If you watch your diet and maintain your exercise, it shouldn't come back. Building muscle can help increase your metabolism too. I started working out a week and a half ago. The first week I was down 8 lbs. Then a few days later, I was down another 3. So Now I'm down a total of 11 lbs. Taking weekly pictures help too so you can see your progress.

How long did i take you to start seeing a change in your body? Im On day 3 of my new diet workout plan lol. Also what kinds of food did you eat?

I cut out soda as much as possible. Ate mostly chicken & turkey not much red meat at all. Pretty much ate the same as before but portion controled & tried to aviod starches. Lots of crunches & other exercises i found on google for my target areas, & a few some people suggested. Go to nowloss.com they send you a free video. Took a few months to get to the last picture but i was only trying to tone up too. I lost all the baby weight after like 6 months, it just fell off. The one exercise i liked the most & feel i got the best results from was laying on the floor flat, arms out to the side to form T shape. Legs together & lift legs & shoulders off ground hold for 10 secs relax & do it again. Repeat 20Xs. Increase reps when it gets "easy" to 25-30 times.. ill find the sites that also helped me a lot & post links. Stick to it really want it & best of luck

Thanks..i dont think my weight will just fall off because i have hypothyroidism which makes it hard to lose weight. Im not drinking any soda or junk food but i love fruit so its easy for me t.o e.at that as snacks. I am 170 but i was most comfortable at 135 which was before my third baby. I am 5'6

Muscle burns fat so keep up with the diet & work it away. It wont happen right away but if you get dedicated to it you will see results. I'm short 5'2" i was 124 before any kids & 111 before my last baby (14 months old now) last time i was weighed i was 103. Having kids took everything from me lol. Boobs are first to go   i just wanted to mainly work on the mommy pouch & make things stop being so jiggly lol. My best advice is set your mind to it & keep up the hard work. There's another member on here who is really into working out & she may be more help. She does the fit and happy quotes if you use the search bar im sure she could give you better advice.

I forgot to tell u ive been running/ walking twice a day does that help? Each time its about 30-45 mins.

I read somewhere that that will help you maintain your weight but not lose weight. I walk about an hour a day, 7 days a week and I lost 13 lbs in two weeks. I started at 147. I'm now at 134. I also do strength training and core workout.
