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 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 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 tend to leave these "about me" sections blank, mostly because I'm not sure what the important bullet points are. I'm 31, 5'3" tall, I'm an Illustrator and a Graphic Designer. I live in Brooklyn, NY. I run, badly. I've been trying to loose weight for over a year now, and I've lost about 25 lbs.

I have been very thin before but I wouldn't say I was healthy or fit. I am much heavier after my first pregnancy, but well on my way to accomplishing my goals!

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.

43, married, teacher, 2 adopted troubled children, live on a farm, drive and ride mule and horses. LOST 10 POUNDS from JULY - NOV thanks to PT!
Heaviest: 149! mostly due to medications I was on at the time
Goal to be 125 or less, size 6 is best, 8 is acceptable.
|
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.

I have been married for almost 13 years, we have 2 kids ages 4 and 2. I work in a desk job, so I have spent the last 11 years sitting on my butt, and decided that I need to change some things.
