    Wow! Thanks for all the encouragement guys!!!

    And for those of you who asked, I'm about 5'4 1/2 and based BMI charts, I'm considered obese in the first pic and still 10lbs overweight in the 2nd pic. Just goes to show you BMI isn't always accurate! I don't feel overweight now but I'm not quite at my goal weight either. I love my curves and don't want to lose them, but I"m also striving to be as healthy and fit as I can be.

    Thanks again for all the kind words :)

    Do you cycle or spin at all? Your tibialis anterior musclesis are thing of beauty!! Wish my legs had that kind of definition.


    I do some spinning (maybe 1 time a week) but I've also just been doing a lot of strength training.

    Wow.
    Actually if I would have that body, the only thing I would do is handing the guys over the mop to clean up their own dribble.
    **** the BMI.



    Very very jealous.

    Okay, like everyone's already said you look amazing in your before photo and fantstically amazing in your after photo. You seem genetically blessed with great proportions and firm muscles. I really want to encourage you to continue with weights -- you have the perfect body for resistance training and the more you do, the heavier you go, the leaner you will be. Check out some of the women on this site who've committed to weight training. I can't wait to see where you are in another six months! Congrats! (Oh and people - "your "is possessive; "you're" is you are)

    I definitely will continue with strength training as I believe that is really the reason there is a dramatic difference between the two pics. I've lost weight without doing strength training and the visual difference was not as great. I've actually found that I really love weight lifting! I love getting stronger and stronger each week.

    You look great. So jealous. I only have 20 of my 40 lbs left to lose also. But I definitely don't look like that! You should be so proud!

    Looking great, 20lbs really makes a difference, I've lost 20lbs also & didn't think there was a notable difference but it is; thanks for sharing!
