Maliah Michele is my end goal. Even tho she's taller than me (i think) and my stomach may never be as flat as hers I was where she was once before and know I could do it again.

Ladies excuse me but focus on lower body since women lose fat from the top down.
I don't because I just want to look like the best me. I feel comparing myself, for me, isn't good. Why would someone roast you for that? Most people don't care.
signed up for a free 7 day gym membership that comes with two personal training sessions.
if i don't decide to go to that gym, at least i'd get the chance to properly learn how to use certain machines.
...might go to that gym though (Anytime Fitness) seems affordable.

@BlackPearl how is the jump rope challenge going for you?
Very good. Got my resting heart rate down from 82 to 67. I didn't have any weight to lose. I just wanted to tone up. I see a difference in my legs, an improvement in strength, and just overall improvement I'm fitness.@BlackPearl how is the jump rope challenge going for you?

I've only been working out every 2 or 3 days (30 minutes a day) because the routine is like 60% calisthenics and 40% jump rope so I am usually sore. So I give myself those days to recover. Once I stop getting so sore I'll eventually get to 4 or 5 days a week but I'm really surprised how well you body has responded so far. I have a FitBit and being able to track my progress has been great too.
How many do you do a day?
I dont know if u ladies recall me making threads about struggling to lose weight in my mid section area and how i barely had a waist line and love handles for days 
Well a year later i finally have a smaller waist line
And my love handles are disappearing
I havent been hitting the gym but ive been eating healthy as hell and become more active. Im going to join a gym later on this month tho so i can continue losing weight and tone up.
This is my goal size for now:

I definitely do with celebrities (or fitness gurus though rarely) but only those that are my size/shape or close to it.

What do y'all eat before you work out? I usually don't eat anything before I work out but I'm trying to break that habit. I feel like I can do so much more if I just eat something beforehand. I don't want to eat anything that will slow me down or mess my body (particularly stomach since that's always my main focus) up when working out. I'm a mess, I know lol.
HIIT workouts are were it's at. Constantly bringing your heart rate up and then down is burning maximum calories. All you need is 30 min a day. When you are doing cardio you are burning calories and as soon as you stop the burning stops. That's why it's vital to lift weights as well. Because when u lift weights your body is constantly burning fat and helps your metabolism as well. I meal prep every Sunday and yes it gets old but the results I'm seeing make me stay with it. I go to the gym every single day. No days off for me I wanna hit that goal!
youre not supposed to do HIIT everyday, neither are you supposed to do it for 30mins
15-20 minutes max
Because apparently, just trying isn't good enough for people. I guess I don't come off as someone to take seriously anymore.
Anyway, my thighs are screaming. Did 30 minutes on the elliptical yesterday, 4 minutes of the rowing machine and used the remaining 25 or so learning some of the strength machines (leg extender, that curler thingy and the thingy you pull down on… I forget the names). Could only go today for 45, so another 30 on the elliptical and I made it to 7 on the rowing machine (that shyt is so hard).
The pain is only temporary.
