Same weight, only difference is weight training (pics)

RedHeadDevotchka

Ok, well weight training and clean eating. But still in both of these pics I weigh around 175-180, I think I may have been a tad heavier in the before pic, but let's not split hairs here.
This is my on my birthday and I thought I was in ok shape (welcome to the wonderful world of denial )
THis wasn't my heaviest weight and I was bordering on a size 14, 12 was kinda pushing it.





Ok, now to about 5 months ago. I was going to a wedding and my husband took this pic of me. Also, those shoes were not comfortable to dance in but that's a different story!

Impressive! I always feel discouraged with strength training due to the numbers on the scale, but you are living proof that it's worth it!

The power of inches! Great work!

RedHeadDevotchka

Thanks everybody! I still get discouraged by the inches! I swear it doesn't go away sometimes, haha.
BUT, I haven't gotten bulky and there's proof in pictures! I love looking back and going "hmm, I guess it's ok then"

That may just be the coolest most encouraging thing I have seen on here! I feel like I look so much better then my weight says and have wondered how much is because of fitness-muscle. I know I am wearing smaller sizes at heavier weights going down in weight then when I was gaining. Anyway, AWESOME!

So what is the difference in dress size between the first and second pictures?

I wear a misses size 10 now, and before it was a 14. As far as sizes....I was like XL and now I'm like a big Medium/small Large if that makes sense. I do believe if I had smaller boobs I would fit better into a medium, but their not going anywhere!

TrekkieChic

Amazing difference! You look stunning!

Slimmasaurus

Wow, you look amazing! I'm in agreement with everyone else, you really are an inspiration for everyone who might be discouraged when the numbers on the scale might not be going down.
Way to go, you look fantastic
