I am not as lean as I was a couple months ago, but I am not where I was a couple years ago! With a knee that is giving me fits, I realize ever more how much I want to be fit and strong and try to avoid injury as much as possible as I grow older. It isn't as easy to maintain weight and muscle when we are no longer 20! At 48, I am working at it!

Thank you for your understanding and encouragement, #One! It is frustrating to feel less fit. I know my strength isn't where it was after nearly six weeks of reduced workouts. I know I need to be patient with myself. I'm sort of an all or nothing kind of gal. I can't do it all right now, but I can do better. 😊 💪

Pssshhh you are straight goals for most 20 year olds!! You are cut and lean ! Amazing work and results !!

You look amazingly fit, Melissa! And so tiny!! I would give anything to have that waist and tummy. I know what you mean about losing strength because I feel similarly right now. But your muscle tone is very much still there and you’ll get back to your preferred level of fitness in no time, I’m sure. Just take good care of that knee before you start pushing really hard again. No 100lb squats, mama bear! 💖

Thank you, dear, beautiful blessed! ❤️ NewnameMM, thank you so much. I look forward to feeling better so I can work t my normal level. Until then I know I need to be patient. Your tummy and waist look perfect, girl! 😁 I do remember feeling, after growing lots of big babies and gaining mountains with each pregnancy, I would always have a round tummy. It is a journey for sure! ❤️

This is a body that most of the young women would be jealous of. Excellent transformation !

John, I was actually feeling sort of OK in this picture. I had lost about 15 pounds in preparation for a trip. Even that wasn't down from my heaviest, but I don't have any pictures during the high end of my weight. I hid from cameras as much as I could. So many wasted moments feeling fat and unfit and frustrated with myself. I never want to forget or go back. Thank you, LaughingChevre!!!
