Lost 10 pounds of 'summer vacation' weight

I am 5'6"
I had lost 20 pounds from September 2013, but gained some back when I went on a 2-week vacation and pretended I had the metabolism of a pre-DUI Michael Phelps.

I cut calories, paid attention to macros (60 grams of protein a day, not super easy as a vegetarian, but I made it), and added a regimen of pushups, planks and bicycle crunches to my aerobic exercises.

    wellllll, now that I look at it again, maybe there isn't as much of a difference as I thought. But I swear, in a certain light, I have abs now that I didn't have two months ago!

    There is a difference... your tummy isn't as 'fluffy', especially around the belly button area :)

    well you aren't going to see the same transformation with 10 lbs as you will with 100, but good job all the same! You can see a difference in the pics, in your middle and your arms too!
