Hello all,

I joined this site today and read some of the diaries and became truly inspired. Here's a little back story. I've always struggled with my weight I'm 5'2 and the lowest I've ever weighed was 139lbs the highest was 173 and that was after I had my daughter. Right now I weigh 152.6 so that means I've only lost 20.4 lbs of the baby weight :cuss: in 9 months!. I desperately want to get down to 115. I think I would look perfect at this weight, especially since I'm so short. I started turbo fire on the 23rd of July and have lost 2 lbs since! whoohooo! lol. I'm hoping to get to my goal weight by christmas, but I'm willing to settle for the New year :)

I workout with turbofire and plan to do a chalean extreme/turbofire hybrid after I finish the inital 12 weeks, to gain some muscle.

Heres some pics at my starting weight. (well when I was 155 lbs). I will take new ones every 10 lbs I lose to show progress, so when I reach 145 I will take some more.

I do it all for this little one :)

She's beautiful! What a gorgeous baby!!!! Welcome to the forum and good luck with your weight loss! Are you going to be logging your food? x
 
Kimmy Luna-- I get more inspired each day I post, I'm really hoping to be another success story on here :) and thank you!

Sunflowe-- aww thank you! and yeah I probably should be logging my food.


So far I've had water and an emerald "breakfast on the go" meal.

Total calories 190


My goal for calories is 1200 a day and I aim to burn at least 600.
 
Omgsh, that is the cutest baby!!


Love your pics, sure you have a little belly, but you look good overall!! Don't get too down on yourself!
 
Thanks Korrie! She's my mini me lol

I really needed those words of encouragement. After I had my baby I've just been feeling so down about myself. I still look pregnant:banghead:. I've been really serious about my weightloss since the 24th of July though, and have dropped 3 lbs total since then :).


TurboFire is no joke, I've already looked into getting Insanity. I'm committed this time for the rest of my life.!
