    Is it set on private? It says it was moved or deleted.

    I've just looked through this whole thread and you all have done amazing! I've been doing 5x5 for 3 weeks now (although I was doing some non-directed light weight lifting before), these photos give me hope that I'll also be successful and be able to post some photos one day!

    I've been doing Stronglifts for many months. I have also been losing weight all that time. My strength has definitely increased. The problem is that I have areas where the fat is gone, but the space where it was is still there.and drooping. I don't really have excess skin. What I have would be called flab, I guess. I'm hoping that over time, and now that I'm just about at my goal, that I will be able to fill some of the space with muscle. Have any of you experienced this?

    Numbers be damned, you're definitely sleeker! :smile: Your waist is a lot narrower, especially the side view. Are you strictly doing just the 5 exercises, or ab work as well?

    Just the five. I've also been teaching swim since the end of May, I see a trainer once a week, and I do a cross fit type class on Saturdays. No dedicated ab work, but I'm definitely super active. :)

    well, you LOOK terrific. i'm the same way. dont' really mind measuring the waist. but the thighs . . . eh. not so much. i'm kind of setting myself up for the good kind of psych, where you don't measure until you're pretty confident that you'll like what you get. i'm going 'okay, when you weigh THIS much then measure them, because surely to goodness by then . . .'

    on the clothes size . . . well, i don't feel i can take credit for the 'petite' part of it :D but the 4 was a bit of a blink. i've shrunk so gradually and gotten so used to myself along the way, i've had times of wondering where the heck i could have been hiding those 20 pounds, because i didn't feel like i'd changed all that much.

    i love browsing this thread to see people's changes. everyone looks so strong and confident too!
