Hello everyone!
First of all, a huge thanks to all my friends here on MFP!
I have posted before/after photos a month ago, but then I did not see any ... promise of abs! It was only a dream. Now, it seems like some optical illusion - so help me, tell me - is it true? Are they there???
This is my lowest weight... and I had to take some shots to celebrate it!
All done by exercise, calorie counting, upping my cals occasionally and luring myself into maintenance mode (hehe). No starving!

First, one gross before...

And one more...

I realize I was not too overweight, but I was really chubby and round and too soft really. Wearing L pants and t-shirts as in LARGE did not help my ego at all.

And now bikini shot, fresh morning photos (yes, before I get full of smoothies hehe):

Now PLEASE be HONEST and tell me... are those some very shy abs I see? Or am I just so eager to have them that I can see them even before they show themselves? I do have pink (fitness) glasses sometimes!

Thanks everyone!

PS: If any of the future readers is thinking about running, or entering a race - add me, Ill be your huge supporter! Running and entering a race was the best fitness decision I did in my whole life!

    Hi!
    Everyone is asking how... well, in my blog I also often complained of my stomach muffin!

    Except for calorie counting - which all of you know - I ate back my exercise calories (all I spent running around, I ate back) - and when I hit a plateau, I upped my calories - that helped.
    Also, I am weight lifting (whenever I have money for gym) and I am running and running... 3x per week, usually some 15-20km per week. Entering a race has been HUGE motivation for me! I think the cardio helped a lot to get rid of the stomach fat!

    Please STOP posting pictures from the Victoria's Secret catalog on MFP. Oh wait, I'm sorry, that's your pic.

    You look wonderful and your body is beautiful. I can see the abs coming in nicely. Congratulations!
