i’ve always wanted to do a before and after with the same clothes! the first picture was in december 2011 and i weighed around 107-110 lbs. i took the bottom picture this morning and although i look like i weigh less, i actually weigh around 115-118 lbs now. muscle weighs more than fat, so clearly the number on the scale doesn’t mean anything!

losing-every-extra-pound:

Strawberry Banana Spinach Smoothie

delicious and packed with vitamins, minerals, & antioxidants
approximately 150 - 190 calories

Ingredients
6 medium Strawberries
1 Banana
1 cup Baby Spinach
6 cubes or ½ a cup of ice

Directions

Combine ingredients in a blender or food processor and enjoy!

I usually find it hard to eat raw spinach, but in this recipe, I can barely taste it and it’s so quick and easy to make!

My legs were made for walking, not to look skinny. My tummy was made for holding my organs, not to be flat. My bones were made as a structural foundation for my body, not to stick out. Appreciate what your body can do for you instead of trying to make it 'look good'.

Preach. Needs to be said. And repeated. And repeated again.

You should better try to make the best out of yourself. And stop comparing your body to others

Imagine waking up on the last day of march and knowing that you worked your ass off for 30 days straight. Imagine looking in the mirror and grinning because you're actually seeing results: your stomach is flatter and more toned, your legs are becoming shapely and 'dat ass' is looking rounder than ever. Imagine looking in that mirror and feeling proud that you ate clean for 30 days. Yes, you allowed yourself the occasional treat but in general you were fantastic and stuck to your healthy regime. Hell, you even enjoyed it. Imagine the feeling of pride you'll have, and the feeling of confidence knowing that now you've done one month the next month and the months after that will be easier. Imagine trying on some old jeans and feeling the space in the waist-band because you are so much slimmer now. 30 days. 2 Litres water per day, 30 minutes working out a day. A clean diet. That's all. Let's make March our fittest month yet. Who's with me?

This is a picture of me and my two gorgeous best friends. Clearly, we all have very different body types, and you know what? None of us is healthier, prettier or happier than the others because of it.

That’s me on the left. I’m short, super petite, and have about as much muscle mass as a blob of gelatin. Despite being naturally thin, I have always been far from in shape. Not even a month ago, running two minutes at a time was a struggle—now I can run without stopping for more than a half hour.

Felicia, in the center, is probably the most active girl I know. The opposite of me, she’s one of those people that can build muscle just by looking in the direction of a dumbbell. She loves running like I do, and we’ve discussed running a 5k. She’s a big yoga enthusiast and has tried all sorts of different forms that I can’t pronounce, and she’s found free community yoga classes for us to attend together. Also, she has abs of steel, seriously. She’s helping me with my ab workouts. She’s also recently lost over 60 lbs through her active lifestyle and healthy diet.

That’s my friend Maddy on the right. She’s curvy and feminine, but she’s a beast in the gym. Strength training is her thing. She could probably bench press two of me. Not only is she incredibly strong, she’s insanely flexible and an avid pole dancer. We’re taking classes together even though she can spin circles around me on that damn pole, and look gorgeous while she does it.

My friends inspire me so much, and remind me that diversity is lovely. You don’t have to be skinny to be beautiful and confident, nor do you have to look like girls in Nike ads to be strong and fit. You don’t need to weigh a certain number, fit into a certain size, or have a certain appearance to be confident, healthy, or happy. I think that my friends prove that to me.

I’ll never be long and willowy like a supermodel, or well-built like all those fitspo girls. I’ll never look like either of my friends, and they’ll never look like me. And that’s ok, because fitness is about being the best you can be, not comparing yourself to others.

Embrace what you have, and help others embrace what they have. Fitness is funner with friends. Get them involved. Take a class, go for a walk, make a healthy dinner together. You’ll always have support and a fun activity to bond over.

this is one of the best things i’ve read on tumblr. Friends come in all different shapes, colors and sizes. May your friendships be everlasting

I just can’t NOT reblog this. Everyone should read it.

They told her she couldn’t. She said “Watch Me.” And Did. Don’t ever let anyone hold you back. Ever. Fitness has no weight limit. It is about getting out there and giving your 100% whatever that looks like <3

Another morning ritual I learned from my granny is to stay in front of the mirror, smile at your pretty face and tell yourself “I’m beautiful” :)
