13lbs HEAVIER, same bikini

Rae6503

2009 after only 2 children. Age 29. 145lbs. I went from 180 post baby to 145 with mostly diet alone, in 8ish months.




2012 after 3 children. 158lbs. Age almost 32. Went from 180 to 149 within a year (with exercise for the last 12lbs), then gained 10lbs during a muscle building period, then lost 2 lbs.






The end.

And yes, I suspect some people will say I looked better in the first picture.

"Only" 2 children. Ha! You look great. Awesome muscles, great posture, and so confident.

You look amazing!

I think you look awesome in both pictures. The first one has pretty natural light and a nice background, and you're tanner, but I think you look great in the second with the extra muscle definition even in the artificially lit bathroom . You definitely look smaller, which is why it's so amazing that you are actually heavier. Great job!

I'll have to talk to the husband about taking me back to Florida so I can get more comparable pictures...

Wow- this is MOTIVATION! Great post! You look amazing now!

I think both are great. I never really get why there is such a war of opinion. What should really matter is which look you prefer. And you obviously prefer your muscles.

Well done.
