It has been an up and down battle, but have finally made it! About 5 months ago I found a great personal trainer who has helped me to stay motivated for the long term, and it has made all of the difference. There is still progress to be made, but today I celebrate!
Wow! Great work! I have a similar body shape to your 'before' photo....can I ask your stats, please? Height, weight before & after? Thanks.
Sure! I'm 5'4", and I was pushing 180 when I started (size 14 pants, large or xl top). Now I am about 155 with a size 8 pant and medium top.
Thanks - yup, very similar stats to my starting weight on Jan 1st!!! I'm 5'5" and was 181lbs at beginning of the year. Have dropped 12lbs so far and aiming for goal of 140lbs. You look great at 155....I'd have said you were in the 140s....very toned so you've obviously lost fat & gained muscle. Nice work!!!
Good for you!! I have started to not care about the scale (or at least try not to!) because it doesn't tell the whole story when you are getting stronger and gaining muscle. I have actually only lost 1 lb since around Thanksgiving, but I have lost an entire pant size! My original goal was 145lbs, but since I am getting stronger/leaner I may or may not ever get there--and I am okay with that!

I soooo badly wish I had taken my bf when I started. Roughly 3 months ago, it was at 26%; I am scheduled for another reading in about a week so we will see how much progress I have made then! Ultimately I think I would like to be in the 18% range.
I've somewhat given up on having a goal weight though. I have always been naturally doughy (even when I was lighter), and I am learning that my body looks a lot different at different body comps even if I am at the same weight or higher. Originally I wanted to get down to at least 145lbs, but if I keep getting stronger, that may never happen0 -
Awesome work0

Ahh, the cursed upper thighs! They are going to forever touch, and I am just going to have to be okay with that. Thanks!0 -
