The long-awaited bikini before/after!

Lifting weights and drinking protein powder will NOT make you bulky ladies!!!

Left (2012): SAME weight as I am now (127 lbs), but made poor choices with nutrition and did no exercise (basically this is your "starvation" and occasional cardio result)
Middle (2013): 140 lbs, decided to get my life straight. Took an entire year to read up on nutrition to fuel my workouts and develop a bulking/cutting system for myself.
Right (March 2014): Today! 127 lbs (weight matters much less now) and rocking the bikini better than I ever have. Still have a month and a half left of my cutting regimen before I try to get back into maintenance.

What's made the biggest difference for me? DIET. DIET DIET DIET DIET DIET. I am NOT one of those people who can do IIFYM. (see pic on the left!). I have 6 meals per day that are a source of lean protein (baked chicken, fish, etc.) with 2 servings of veggies. I alternate between low carb and high carb days depending on my workouts. I do crossfit or lift 4 times per week and try to add on 40 minutes of cardio one of those days, and do 40 minutes of HIIT on another day.

Woo! If I can do it, you can too!

Whoa! I'm so glad we're friends, I'm going to take a LOT of tips from you. Time for me to invest in some weights and make that a lifestyle.

WOW! It looks like you bought a difference suit. You are rockin' it! You look so slim. This is one of those great transformations that show how the scale isn't the only thing to gauge your success on. And congrats on your food success! You look great in all the pictures to me, but you can see almost feel the increase in confidence from the third. I can only imagine the heads you'll be turning at the beach! :drinker:

Beautiful!

I'm scared to bulk (and then cut), what plan did you follow?

Annabel193

Amazing! It's insane that your before and after weights are the same considering how different you look.

Your before pictures look a lot like me now so this is some good motivation!

How tall are you? It's crazy because you look so much taller in the after picture. Congratulations on finding what obviously works for you!

I'm also curious of your height?

kmclamb13

Thank you all so much! And yes all of you can add me

I'm 5'3" for those of you who are curious! I'm 25 and my job is mostly sedentary. I eat my meals out of tupperware that I bring to work.

The bulking and cutting plan that I followed was Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer (I did basically 3 months of stage 1 and 2, tried 3 for a month, went back to 2, etc. and am on 3 again) and I saw some AMAZING results. Highly recommend it!

Wow ! Great job ! I sure wish I knew what kind of lifting you are doing.

It's mostly olympic/power lifting... Not much static lifting anymore (although I did a lot of that when I was bulking this summer). Things like power cleans, squats, bench, deadlifts, etc. combined with a bunch of different exercises (pushups, situps, etc.). I do crossfit mostly 4 days per week and that gets me most of my cardio and lifting. But when I did bulking this summer I mostly went to the regular gym to build mass and did crossfit more for the cardio aspect.
