    Woops- thought I posted to this thread and posted to the wrong one!

    I have been eating more for about 7-8 weeks. I'm only down a 1/2 pound but lots and lots of inches, 2 pants sizes and just finished stage 1 of NROLFW.

    Here is my before and after from when I started MFP at the beginning of the year. I think I might have been heavier than in the before photo by the time I started but hardly have any pictures of myself The after taken 2 days ago- and TOM is now so I'm even bloated :-)
    Still much work to do!!!

    Here is my before/after face shot. Admittedly an awful before picture. The after was from a few weeks ago, I think I may have thinned out a bit more, I can feel more bone structure when washing my face- ha!

    I have some before starting EM2WL but they are on my jefit app on my phone and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to upload. I think you have to have the pay version to upload and sync to your online account- bummer!!!
    Holy cats you look fabulous! Your before and after body shots look like 2 different people!! Go you!

    Thanks! Honestly if I can't believe that was me in the before. I SWEAR I never looked like that, LOL! At least I have proof.

    My first attempt at pictures. Aren't they a wonderful thing! When you feel down because that nasty scale is lying to you again, or you are tired and don't want to exercise ever again....start looking through pictures. I found the first pic going through my album on my phone. The funny thing, I had lost about 5-7 pounds due to a job change in early 2011 and thought I was looking pretty good! Ugh! So now the second pic I took before going to my HS reunion just a couple of weekends ago. My husband was out of town so I wanted to show him the new outfit I had bought for our casual get together. What a difference! I'm down 34 pounds and numerous inches. I hit about a 2 mth plateau when I decided to join EM2WL and though I haven't lost scale weight, I believe that my body is transforming in other ways! I'm half way there!

    Edit: whoops! Can't see the second pic very well and I don't know why! I made it my profile pic also and you can see the whole pic there! :laugh:

    I hope this works...

    The first pic is me at starting weight of 219, second pic is about 199. I lost that first bit of weight eating 1200 plus exercise calories. Then the next pic is about 6 lbs less, 193. That is since starting to eat more so between 1900-2200 calories. There isn't a huge difference between the pics but I can see it and feel the difference. You can actually see the start of my arm muscles starting to show through the fat lol.

    You look wonderful! And I know you earned it!!!!!!!!!!!! denise
    Hello! This is my first post and I wanted to share my progress so far. I've started lifting heavy in early January and entered an 8-week transformation challenge at my crossfit gym around that time.

    A little about me - I'm an ex-college athlete, 28 and 6'0" --

    25-Jan-12/ 25-Feb-12 / 25-Mar-12 / 5-Apr-12

    Weight 193 / 186.3/ 181.2/ 178.9
    Natural Waist 30/ 29.5/ 29.125/ 28.675
    Hip (not around bum) 36 / 35.75/ 35.25/ 35
    Chest (over) 38 / 36 / 36 / 35.75
    Chest (under) 33.25 / 33.125/ 32.5/ 32
    Belly button 33.125/ 32.5/ 31.75/ 30.875
    Thigh 25.5/ 25.125/ 24.75/ 24.5

    The BIG ones --- 24-Jan-12 / 21-March-12
    BMI: 26.1 /24.6
    Body Fat %: 26.8 /22.3

    I'm still a work in progress as I'm in the middle of a lifting program, but the results I've seen so far are very encouraging. I have to admit that when I first started in January that I was eating too little (1300-1450) and at my first 3-week weigh-in at our gym of the 6lbs I'd lost, 4.5 of it was muscle. Obviously that wasn't going to work, so I read some threads, read the NROWFW (as recommend by Lucia!) and started to slowly up my calories. I added about 100 calories a week, and though I've hit a few stalls/small gains for a week or two, I've been able to keep loosing throughout. I'm now eating about 2,000ish a day and am planning on bumping to 2,100 next week with the end goal of 2,300 as my daily goal for WEIGHT LOSS. Once I get to my goal weight of 175, I hope to be able to eat about 2,600 a day. Because I'm 6'0" and my BMR is 1895 (per dunk tank), with 6 intense workouts a week, this seems about right to me. :smile:

    and now, photos!

    Looking forward to more results and NSV's with weights - but most of all, I'm so relieved that I don't have to eat 1300 calories ever again to maintain my fitness! It's so nice going to bed satisfied and waking up feeling stronger, leaner and ready to work! This seems maintainable to me now, and I will never, ever, go back to starving my poor body. Pass the protein!! :wink:

    So you have to use a photo hosting website. I am using tinypic lets see if this works!

    These are in the last year where the major work has started for losing.

    August 2011 203lbs

    nxl7ar.jpg

    March 31, 2012 179lbs

    34i4emh.jpg

    I have never been a dieter just tried to make smart choices. I have been logging food for a couple years and joined MFP late last year. Logging food keeps track of what I eat and I was consistently losing weight. However, I have been at a plateau since March and I have been doing a lot of research about EM2WL. I was consistenly netting 1000 calories when my BMR is 1620. The last month I have been eating at TDEE -15% and prior to that I was really trying to eat all my exercise calories back. Currently, I am up about 4 lbs from the 179 but eating more has made me feel so much better. I have cut my cardio from 7 days a week to about 4 and then I have added strength training 3-4 times a week. I am hoping by the end of August to post a more recent picture and I am really hoping I have dropped some inches, I really dont care about the scale at this point, I just want to trim down. I am in the best shape of my life!

    Oh, and you ALL inspire me. Great job everyone!
