I'm addicted to nutrition and fitness news and love to workout. I'm always up for a challenge, and find the rhythms of MC Hammer awe-inspiring.
I started www.FitBottomedGirls.com to inspire all women to workout and eat right not just to look good but to FEEL good!

I am an art director living in Kansas City, Missouri that has transformed herself in the last 5 years from an overweight fatass to one of those skinny girls that I use to hate. It hasn't been an easy journey but all the sweat has been so worth it! I can say that I am in the best shape of my life!
|
I'm a new found workout-aholic. I feel my best after a good workout!

i'm a classic lazy butt who's recently caught the work out bug. i started training for a half marathon a couple months ago and now i'm hooked on running. i'm trying to do the modeling acting thing in la so that's incentive to keep things in check.

I'm 43 and have been SLOWLY losing weight and becoming fit. I was tired of being frumpy - I want to look as good on the outside as I feel on the inside!

Im a 26 year old who loves everything fitness. I love to read magazines, books, blogs, etc. about fitness. My job keeps me mostly fit with alot of running up and down basement stairs, lugging heavy tools, materials. I help my fiance run his water filtration/water pump business. This includes a variety of jobs such as installation, paperwork, restocking, etc. So most days I get in alot of moving around! Now that spring has arrived I am preparing for veggie gardening. I just love eating the green beans as Im picking them!! One in the basket, one in my mouth. Reading has been a long time favorite for me. I am always game for a good book. My two cats, bella, and kealey love to snuggle when Im reading. Im stopping the rambling now!

I'm a married type ii diabetic who's weight shot up gradually after high school and found myself 24 yrs old at 195 lbs. I gained 87 lbs with my pregnancy, topping out at 282 lbs at the end of my 3rd trimester. I only dropped to 250 lbs after having him, and for the last 10 yrs have slowly taken off the weight and had gotten down to 160 lbs. I hit a plateau, then found out I had to go back on insulin December 2008, which caused a weight gain of 20 lbs in 3 months. I'm currently btwn 175-180, and have recently hired a personal trainer and joined an athletic club, where I hope to get fit, lose the excess weight and continue on my path of a healthy life style.
|
I'm vegan and trying to reverse years of eating standard American fare. I have become passionate about nutrition and trying to become just as passionate about fitness. I have a long way until I achieve my goals, but I am ready for this journey.

I am turning 30 this summer and trying to finally address my emotional eating. I am an active person (workouts 4-5 days a week) but I tend to overeat, binge, or eat when I am not really hungry. Now that I am older I have noticed that my weight and health are changing and I want to start on a path of balance now so that I can age healthfully.

I am a single person who doesn't like to cook much. I try to do some kind of exercise every day. I like to exercise and think it is a good habit but it can get old at times.
|
|
|
I am 22 years old, approximately 133lb (just over 9 stone). Whilst this may not seem a lot, I prefer to be at around 120lb (around 8 stone).
Having put on the extra weight since I stopped regular dancing, I would like to get back to my previous weight of 120lb and also eat a bit more healthily.

Undergrad student, trying to work out a healthy lifestyle so I can feel more confident in social settings.
|
Part time student and full time office worker, my SO works long hours which means that we eat late and eat a fair bit of take out as some nights I am too tired to cook by the time he gets home. We moved from a small town to large city about a year ago and have found it really hard to meet people here, which leaves me lots of time for mindless eating.
|
|
I have always been an athlete. I have really never had to worry about what I was eating becasue I was so active, I burned everything off. Now that I am getting older. I am finding it harder to schedule time to work out and eat healthy. joining Weight Watchers has really helped me look at what I have been putting in my body. Now I just have to work on scheduling my exercise better. With a puppy it is harder to get to the gym so we have been walking at night. I hope to be able to work in time at the gym this summer in addition to time outside with my puppy!

I'm 18 going on 19, at the cusp of being overweight. YIKES! For a sophomore in college, that may be normal but I don't think it should be. I like being healthy, and fit, and I know I can be by changing my daily habits. I'm around 148, 150 right now, and I want to be down to 130 by my 19th birthday - December 12th! I have about 3 months, exactly 89 days. Let's see then... 90 days, about 18 pounds - so about 6 pounds a month. That I can do!

I just turned 30 this year, 3 days after giving birth to my and my husband's 5th (count 'em-5th!) child. 1 month before I became pregnant I had a brain surgery that left me in the hospital for 5 days afterwards, and quite weak for a while as well. I was sick through the whole hospital stay and lost the last few pounds I wanted to lose but had never really pushed for. Because of my weakness/inactivity and being pregnant, over the last 11 months I put on an extra ~30 lb. above where I would like to be. Now my son is 2 months old and I'm 148 lb. I have always been pretty careful about my shape but had a lapse in eating/exercising when pregnant with my 2nd child 9 yrs. ago. I was able to lose 40 lb. over 2 years of working out/being active, and eating healthy. My normal weight has always been around 127-130, and if I can get back to that I will be happy. Of course, if I could get down to the 118 I was when I came home from brain surgery, that would be SUPER EXCELLENT to me, but I want to take it one step at a time right now. Five or 10 pounds lost would be a huge boost for me. Things are already hard enough trying to lose weight and get back in shape.

I've been seriously committed to this weightloss journey for over a year now. I graduated Grad school in 2007 weighing 230lbs! I started at 193 which was still overwight for my hight. Now I'm down to 168 and I'm looking for new supports for this next phase.

I'm a very active person, I just want to stop eating so much and I need motivation because my family is ok with living an unhealthy life, while I am not. I'm on a competitive soccer team so all my teammates have seemingly perfect bodies so I feel self-conscience at pool parties. I'm 5'4", weigh 128#, and have a 31" waistline. I know it's healthy to have a 32" waistline but this still looks bad on my body type since I have short legs too.
