    Thank you!!! I'm so happy people find this helpful and inspiring. That was my goal but I was hesitant.

    A lot of people have been asking what I do: I bench press, bicep curl, and do tricep kicks 2 days a week. I squat, deadlift, and do lunges 2 days a week, I do good mornings, a back row, and bent over rows with dumbells 2 days a week. I take one day off and rest! And I eat more than I probably should. Around 1800 calories most days now.

    This is very inspiring and it is exactly the kind of transformation I'd like to have!

    Can I ask - how long does it take you to do the above each day? (Just curious about when/where I would like to fit something like this into my schedule.) Also - do you do anything else? Cardio, yoga, anything?

    Thanks and congrats on your success!

    It really depends on the day (leg day takes the longest because I have to rest between sets for 2 minutes) but typically 10 minute cardio warm up, 40 minutes of weights, 10 minute cool down which is primarily stretching.

    I try to have an active lifestyle so I walk anywhere that is under 2 miles if I have the time, so I get my cardio in that way. I do very little cardio at the gym. If I do, it's High Intensity Interval Training or on days where my legs are really sore, I'll do 30 minutes of medium intensity cycling. I also use the rowing machine for 5-7 minutes on arm day usually because it's an all over body exercise and it gets my heart rate up a lot. I do yoga if I'm sore on my rest days. Hope that helps!

    You look awesome! I'm kind of in the same boat as you (potentially a bit more out of shape than you were starting out), but like you said, it's really hard for me to see changes. I just took some photos this morning, so I'm hoping that will help me notice a difference.

    Thanks for the motivation!

    No matter where you are starting, you can always end up in the same place: fit, happy, and healthy! I'm really glad you are taking pictures, it has helped me SO much. Also consider taking measurements with a tape measure
