[quote=Anonymous]Emily here. 32, 5'3, 155, size eight. I am extremely muscular and not as concerned with weight loss as I am with toning! I have back fat, which was never a thing before kids, and want to firm up my stomach and thighs. I was a size six and 145 before I got pregnant the first time (4 years ago!!) and the smallest I've been in my adult life is 130/135, but I seriously have to starve myself to get there and don't think my face looks so appealing at that weight. So, my goal is to get down to 140/145.

I had a baby almost a year ago and have lost fifteen pounds over the past few months by no great effort. Mostly just eating smaller portions and not drinking (I quit in early November). I also stopped adding sugar to my coffee or honey to my tea. Sweets are my absolute downfall: I picked up a package of Welch's fruit snacks for my daughter yesterday (something I never buy) and ended up eating nine of the ten packs - all in a day! Ugh.

I think the path forward is continuing to be active in daily life, increase hard workouts (I'm currently into walking on the treadmill or doing gentle yoga LOL), keeping the sugar at bay and, yes, I could probably do with fewer simple carbs.

Way to go everyone![/quote]
