You look fabulous!!! This is just the reminder I needed to make lifting a priority! I love how you showed the progress with different diet & fitness routine! Nicely done!

5'4" here. Started at 135-ish when my last baby was around 10 months (2004). Got down to 100-102 at one point, but got smart and started lifting weights and eating right. I now sit around 113 and have way more muscle than I used to. I've kept in maintenance or purposely gaining weight/muscle for 10+ years now. I aim for FIT not skinny.

135 here - no exercise, and terrible diet


105 pounds here, lifting very little weights, 3-5lbs, decent diet but very low calories...note the excess amount of dimpling/cellulite on my legs! Ugh!


Finally started to lift weights, did about 6 months of Crossfit and heavy lifting by this point, and 112 pounds, lots more muscle


Last year, when I really started noticing the best changes, my cellulite is practically all but gone, heavy lifting (bad pic but you can see the change in my legs)


Recently, I was in the middle of a bulk here, but I'm still same weight - approximately 113 now - and much more muscle (and yes, I do still drink beer!)

I am 5'4" and 32 years old. Progress pic on the right is from December 2013, I have lost a few more pounds since then….

You inspire me! I am 33, starting weight of 232, goal of 145... Just like your pics!

An additional bonus I've seen from many of the before and after pics is how much more gorgeous and prominant a feature our eyes become when the excess weight comes off. Just noticing!

This is incredibly inspiring! I've always felt that "FIT not skinny" is more important. It's hard for me when my co-worker (who is big into WW) always wants to know how much I've lost. That has never been my goal. I want to be in shape. I love how you show the pictures and talk about the differences in your routine with each. It amazes me that you are only 135 in that first pic because I would have guessed heavier, which is only more proof that it's not about what the scale says.

Thank you for sharing!

Two years (of legit effort ) and 125ish lbs down. Still working, Still have a good 80 to lose. I'm 5'4, starting weight was 365-380ish (not sure, my scale wouldn't weigh that high) but I've always counted it as 365. Now at 247.
