Luckily, I have found the time to stay on track with my exercise,here's my routine:
*I run 3 x week, 4.5-5 miles outside if it's not snowing ( or 2-3 miles on the treadmill)
*I do 3 days on the elliptical. I do High Intensity Interval Training (click for more info)
*I alternate with weight lifting
*For upper body: I lift 15 lb dumbells, do the lat pull, shoulder press, push upsetc.
*Lower body : lunges, squats, leg press, knee curls
A new year is approaching and it's time to set new fitness goals. My hope is to reach my goal weight (150) by my birthday which is March 23rd. I am about 15 lbs away so it seems feasible but losing these last few pounds has been quite the struggle. It's like I'm fighting body to get rid of these last few layers of fat. Also, because I'm nearing my goal I'm adding alot more weights so that my body can be toned the way I want it to be.
Also, I wanted to show you all that persistence pays off, I've lost almost 40lbs since last march. Check out the pics.
this was taken last February (i had already lost about 10 lbs....)
these pics were taken 2mths ago, I've lost about 7-8 more pounds since then
Enough about me, What are you're current fitness goals??
What are the challenges you're currently facing?
Look for more articles to come!!!

Hey Girl!
Congrats on your weight-loss. You have motivated me to do something for myself and get in shape. I am still trying to find a great gym to work-out at, until then I've just been working out at home doing crunches and a little jogging. I've been eating healthier and drinking water. (This was a major feat for me!) Since then, I've started to notice that I'm not as hungry as I thought I was and realized that I used to eat out of habit and not out of hunger. I've also noticed improvements with my skin. Keep up the great work and continue to be a blessing to many women everywhere! Take Care!
lol...no Mike that's not me
Brittany, Keep up the good work!! Keep us posted on ur success.
You've done a great job with your loss and you've done it in a sensible way. I think when you make reasonable changes it is so much easier to keep it up for life. Congrats!
I'm struggling to drop a few pounds before the new year and to continue on to my final goal in the new year. I probably have about 15 pounds to lose to reach my body fat goal.
I am gearing up to take swimming lessons in January with the goal of completing my first triathlon in June. I plan to do another half marathon in March too. So much to do, so little time!
Dang girl I can't believe you lost that much weight so fast, you lookin' good! i was you size and got doen to a size 14, and when I did I started lookin' for some really cool workout gear to make me feel and look better!

Liz I'm going to do some brainstorming and come up with some suggestions for you. It would help if you send me your email (mine is hypothesis1913@gmail.com) so I can ask you a few more questions about your eating and exercise habits.

Hey there.. congrats on your weightloss and your continued committment..
I have recently moved jobs and in all the settling into the new city, I have packed on the kilos.
And spurred on by a recent break-up, I have decided to take a little more care of myself, my mind, spirit and body.
I am not an exercise fan so I find getting up in the morning a huge challenge - I am glad to find this site so that I can gain additional support from all of your successes and challenges..
Take care!
