During pics - for motivation

Today has been rough, it started with a less than pleasing weigh-in and kind of escalated from there. I decided to forgo my daily coffee in favour of a workout - day 6 of level 1 which felt great. But before I did it I thought I'd take some progress pics - 5 days of working out I didn't expect to see a difference, but with a fairly significant increase in weight (I know I know it'll just be water) I wanted to make sure I hadn't increased in size. I was blown away when I saw the result - albeit a small one.

In the white top was me day 1 of 30DS, black top is day 5 and I weigh 2.3kg (that's about 5.5lb) more in the black!! And I wasn't even sucking anything in.

PLEASE ADD YOURS!! I find it so encouraging to see little changes the whole way through.

    Noticeable difference for sure! I'm going to take a pic when I'm done with level one, which will be tomorrow night. And I keep having to remind myself the scale may not move as much since we are gaining muscle as we also lose fat, so measuring is probably a better indicator for progress anyway.

    That's an impressive difference! Way to go! I like the idea of posting pics after completing level 1, I'll probably go with that.

    Ok so level 1 is finished and I have new progress pics:

    I have them side by side with the 5 day pics on my computer and while there's not such a huge difference between day 5 and day 10 as there was between day 1 and day 5 my butt is smaller, my arms are smaller, my thighs are smaller and.... I have obliques!

    Would love to see some other people's progress pics after level 1!

    Oh my gosh, such great results in such a short time!

    I'm hoping my Level 1 results will be half as good as yours.

    Keep it up!
