Have you tried a fitness program in addition to your running? I went from 185-156 in 3 months using beachbody, muscle burns fat. You should check out my video!

@ThickkBeautyy well for me all i did was run run run! You'll loose the baby/water weight nice and fast like i did. I know you may see the word "run" and cringe but trust me, it gets way better!! i would put on some music with a nice beat and keep a steady pace. Just take it a step at a time and watch what you're eating, remember its a lifestyle not a diet(= I wish you all of the luck in the world!!

[ThickkBeautyy]

@ThatNiggAmanda Thanks for the words of encouragement!!

I can't lie I do see the word "run" & damn near have a hot flash! Lmaooo. I'm soo not a runner; it def takes A LOT out of you when you're heavier! It def does for me! But, you're one of few ppl that have told me the weight loss perks of running so maybe its a sign that I need to try & start.. I usu take the classes which I really love (being as I used to be a dancer) & I do the elliptical. It pays off but takes a lil longer I think.

[ThatNiggAmanda]

@ThickkBeautyy Ughhh girl i know the hot flash feeling.. story of my lifee! just start slow and add on, if you have the determination anything is possible! Ohh and water, water should be your best friend!

As for the classes yes!! i love them as well, and i too, used to dance! haha Just do what you can to keep it busy and stay motivated. This may sound really lame but my motivation came from watching that show "I Used to Be Fat" on MTV. i know cheesy, but maybe you should check it out online?

[ThickkBeautyy]

@ThatNiggAmanda I used to LOVE that show!! Hahahah! It is motivating though. I wanted to be on that show but I don't know if I'd wanna broadcast my weight and struggles to the world. lolss. But yeah I got loads of determination to do this, esp this time around! & As for the water thats the best part of working out it increases the desire for water. awesomeness! Are you gonna be updating your journey on YT? FYI- 150 is my ultimate goal too. ;)

@ThatNiggAmanda @ThickkBeautyy just to piggyback off your conversation(LOL) I have a very similar goal. I'm 233 wtb 165. Started Weight Watchers yesterday. Made a plan. I've owned a treadmill for about 3 years- used it about 3 times..DAMN SHAME!!! BUT....there's hope for me yet. I did also used to be a dancer until I was 13. Had 2 kids, got a man, got lazy. I'm ready to change though. I think to do video blogs will be helpful so, you guys... subscribe to my channel. Coming Soon!

[ThatNiggAmanda]

@MyBigFatSecrets I am so happy to hear this!! Good luck girlll, im positive you can do it, and of course i would love to check out your channel!
