Progress.

Ughhhh, I need to do some weight training that's for sure. For my back mostly.. but the core is so hard to keep strong.

I LOVE SQUATS & LUNGESSSS. I use to run a lot but it kinda hurts my knees a little now, so I try to keep it at under a 30 min run.

What kinda crunches do you do? I love bicycle crunches, but I hate V-Ups.

Woah, that's awesome! I've went from 175 lbs @ 5'9" to 135 since half a year.

You'rs is a hella lot impressive though...I think we're the same pant size (but I wouldn't know since I don't wear jeans)

For a while, I was just doing traditional crunches, now I do Russian twists and v ups daily! I've also recently started the blogilates flat abs challenge that she put on her facebook, which has a handful of different types to switch things up. I do scoops and digs (might have another official name or something?) a few times a week, too.

I haaaaaaate squats and lunges LOL which is probably why my thighs could still use a lot of work, but blahhhh.
I want to join an actual gym with more equipment so I can use those for leg days rather than needing to rely on squats and lunges and the like.
@(you need an account to see links) that's so awesome!!! Congratulations!

Wow, you're so into it! I love it. I lost 30lbs just through diet and zero exercise, but have been working on toning now. I have always had skinny legs (Yes I love my thigh gaps!), but now they're more toned. I am terrible with upper body strength and core, I had an abusive boyfriend as a teenager and he really hurt my back, then I wrote off my car in a bad accident which didn't help it either. Yoga has really helped me start strengthening my core, it also helps with my anxiety.

I am too shy to go to the gym, I like yoga because it's quiet and mostly women.

God love you for kicking those V-Ups Ass, they're brutallllll...

@(you need an account to see links) guess what, I'm extremely fat. Also guess what, two years worth of losing weight (170 pounds down because I like to brag about it as it's the most amazing thing about myself that I am truly proud of) and I'm still extremely fat. I don't hide it really, a few people from here have seen me on Skype cam (looking at you @(you need an account to see links) and @(you need an account to see links), @(you need an account to see links) once and he made fun of me and my awkward/shyness). Whatever. I am just scared of TC because lots of people at once honestly scares me and puts me into anxiety/panic attack mode.

You've done amazing, keep it up. You were beautiful before, and you're just as beautiful now. Never hide who you are, if people don't like you for whatever reason, you don't want them to have any part in your life.

I have a long way to go myself, and I am working on it one day at a time. We got this, woman!

You look absolutely wonderful!
The words that came out of my mouth were "Dayummmmm!!" Haha.
That takes serious motivation and self discipline.
Congratulations, that's a great accomplishment!
Sorry I didnt see this sooner.. D:

Amazing transformation! Seriously! You should be so proud yourself! You look great!

I'm happy for you that when you couldn't ride a roller coaster you changed your lifestyle and life, and bettered your health instead of the more common "oh well I won't go to the amusement park then" attitude...

Again, you look great!

I am so proud of you @(you need an account to see links), congrats!!

I've been trying to lose weight for the last like 10 years with no prevail (I'm taking it seriously again though), I am amazed at your attitude and determination push through it. You look amazing and you have actually inspired me to keep pushing through.
