    Thank you!! I suppose I do see a bit of a difference. Could just be that I like my bathing suit better in this month's picture! Hahaha :)

    No way!

    The swell of your hips is more gradual in the second picture for sure. I mean width wise the change is small...but from your waist to your hips is a much gentler angle. You should be proud =D.

    I definitely am very proud! Lots of hard work and determination for sure. And thank you for noticing the waist to hip ratio. That's the small little area I'm looking to slim down. They can stay the same width for all I care, but I want that angle to not be so pronounced! Good stuff :)

    Don't thank me hun...lol it's plain to see =D. And yes...your hips aren't too wide at all...getting that slope more gradual (you're very nearly there!) will make you a perfect hour glass.

    Classically beautiful, to say the least.

    Okay, so here is my photo from June 1st. I'm trying to slim my hips. I'm not sure if I see any difference, but I've lost about 8 lbs in total and toned up my legs, butt, thighs, etc. Still having trouble with those damn hips though!

    And here is my July 1st photo. Or, I guess I should say my July 4th photo.

    000_0019.jpg

    I definitely FEEL better, and I fit back into the size I wore in high school. I still need to lose more on my hips. Hopefully this month will see an even bigger improvement.


    PS...I'm sorry the pictures are so big! I don't know how to resize them.

    PPS...I didn't realize how much my mirror needed to be cleaned! Good Lordy!! Sorry about that too!

    You look great hun! Don't worry about the picture size lol...they fit in the screen so it's all good =D.

    Definite difference by the way. Like I said...you really do look great!

    In complete agreement with Cris, you look great!

    You really look fantastic. You don't need to lose anything off the hips. You've got a real hourglass thing going!

    How much weight is that difference? That is an incredible change. Would love to make that kind of progress in a month.

    You know also...it probably depends on how relaxed he was in the first picture lol. I can make myself look 10mos pregnant still if I'm just lounging =p.

    I still think it's incredible work though...he's got a lot to be proud of!

    well for me, I am doing weight training, and Cardio, I focused more on Cardio to trim down the weight, I am switching more to strength training now.

    The key really is the diet, dump the crap food, and eat better, healthier, it allows the body to build and distribute the calories better.

    I also think the second pic is closer and I am tanner, and my hair shorter..lol

    Basically eating smaller portions and more often, less beer.

    Hi everyone! Okay, here is my comparison shot. Excuse the bad colors as I used two different cameras. I see the biggest difference in my stomach and mid-section and unfortunately (as usual) no difference in the butt. LOL It just wants to stay with me forever! For those of you who are curious, I am 5'4" and 130 lbs.

    I've been slacking in taking my July pic, mostly because I don't think there is any difference, besides facial hair :laugh:

    Ok, ok *hands up* I'm SO late posting these, but they were taken on the 5th. Just got really busy with home improvements. June turned out to be one ginormous plateau for me, I'm only down 1lb, so I think any "differences" can be chalked up to lighting mostly (like where I'm standing in relation to the light coming in through the front door, though they were taken at the same time of day).

    edited to add: yeah, after looking at the side-by-sides, that 1lb had to be all derrière. I want it back!!!

    Alright, here goes. I lost a decent amount of weight over the past month, but despite feeling like I look thinner, these pics don't seem to show it! Anyway, my first swimsuit one didn't show my full body, so I'm going to post that, along with two from June, and then my July swimsuit shots....kind of new at posting pics, so hope it comes out alright...

    Here's my new picture!

    After one month, I lost 3.5 pounds (it could have been 4-5 pounds, but I ate a pasta dinner last friday night, and I kinda retained some water from that night still.
