Maybe I don't quite belong on this forum yet, as I am not even halfway to my goal, but... I'm a shorty and weight really shows on me. I've been here for a long time (4 months) and while I have only lost around 20 pounds (I've been bouncing around the same loss,) I feel great and look a lot different. At first I cut calories way back but now I just try to eat clean. Calorie cutting lost me my first 20 pounds, and then I started NROL4W. Since then I weigh about the same but my body fat has dropped by about 3%, so I'm a leaner 160 than I was before. The after pic was before I started the lifting program so I look a little different now, and the pants I'm wearing don't fit anymore, but I didn't bother getting out of my sweatpants today so I didn't update the picture to current. :) I've been cheating a lot lately so seeing these pictures really makes me feel better and I hope I can help someone else too!!

I resized several times and its still showing up huge. Working on it, sorry!
