I was overweight as a kid, as a teen and through all of my adult life, until now, at 33, where I’m in the best shape of my life.
I always said that once I’d reach my BF% goal of 18.5%, I’d post pictures. Since getting an accurate reading is more complicated than I ever imagined (gym device 17.1%, Bod Pod 11%-talk about off!, and online calculators have me at 18.4%), I’m declaring “goal met”!
In the past months on MFP, I’ve loved to see people’s progress pictures, as they were motivating for me. So hopefully, by doing this, I do my part in helping someone else too, as well as show my MFP friends what their encouragements helped me accomplish (they are a great crew!). I can’t say I’m comfortable showing the “before”, but then again, this is probably the case for everyone. I’ll have to admit that even the “after” is beyond my comfort zone, but hey, we only live once!
I still have goals, but they are fitness related (mind you, if I can get rid of the new found excess skin I have from the weight loss, I would not mind getting some ab definition! Time will tell.). I do weight training 3 hours a week spread on 4days and a minimum of 30min cardio 6 times a week. You would have told me in January that I would actually enjoy this routine; I would have said you were insane.
So MFP population, this is my journey in pictures as well as pics taken today.
I wish you the best of luck in yours!!!
