My fitness journey has lasted over a span of 10 years.
I became overweight when I was 15. One day, I realized that my weight gain had brought me to 185lbs, and i knew I had to do something...So here I am, about 60 lbs down, just working on decreasing body fat.
CW: 126
I have no "goal weight"
Goal BF :17%.
Current BF: 20%
In addition to "working on my fitness" - I'm also a mom, and a fiance. I work full time and I also go to school full time. I have a full plate, but I wouldn't want my life to be any other way. :)
Loose skin and stretch marks
Okay, before I get into this… Let me just say that I LOVE my body.
But UGH, my loose skin and stretch marks seriously drive me nuts at times. I wore a SLIGHTLY cropped top to class last night and was only MILDLY self-conscious about it. And this was only after I was fixing my hair in the bathroom (made my shirt go up more) and noticed that my tan skin against white shorts made my stretch marks very noticeable.
Plus I go back and forth from thinking that portion right around my belly button is loose skin and that it can actually be tightened. Sometimes I think it’s just a lost cause, and sometimes I think there is hope.
It’s not like I can afford to get loose skin removed anyways, so I can’t really sit here and stress over it (plus, it’s not worth stressing over). But I’ll try to be optimistic and I guess we’ll see how I look in another few months.
Lol, I know right?
Their next tip will be promoting a new diet trend called the “Look like a Zombie, diet”
I need suggestions for good YouTube fitness channels/videos, please :-)
K, thanks!
These turned out so good! Lettuce wraps with quinoa and baked shrimp! Get in my belly! #food #foodporn #fitnessfood #lunch #healthy
Om nom nom nom nom. Shrimp is my FAVE and this looks divine.
Well, I can think of a few things……
Like ice cream on a hot summer day.
Get your mind out of the gutter… :p

This was posted on FB today. I think it’s the dumbest “Fit Lifestyle Tip” I have ever seen.
I hate when people promote appetite suppressants as a way to be “fit” or “healthy”. It’s like, seriously?? That’s from the official LA Fitness Facebook too. What a pile of dog doo doo.
I can do it but I don’t like to show off
He’s actually air bending.

I shake my fist at you, Vegas.
I ate badly,I drank,I cursed like a sailor, and wanted to hunt down a guy who drunkenly tackled me and stumbled away like nothing happened.
I probably would have tried to fight him, but a lady who worked for the hotel saw what happened and apologized for him and she was so nice that I suddenly saw sunshine and rainbows.
I then attributed my lifting to “why I didn’t fall to the ground” when that guy ran into me.
All in all, it was a cool experience and definitely something I want to do again (Minus watching my fiance play basketball from 1 pm to 8 pm)
But I’m happy to be home and to get back on my grind.
