Here’s what I notice: better posture, skinnier face, more definition, flatter stomach and midsection overall, the shorts in my pics aren’t pulling around my thighs, bigger light gap between my thighs, I can comfortably wear the shorts lower, my skin, especially on the lower half, is smoother (less cellulite?), I have to wear my bras on smaller notches but fill out the cups better, and my armpit flab is smaller.

I was on maintenance during stage 1, so I didn’t lose any weight and I fluctuated between 148 pounds -151.2, but I feel a LOT stronger. I'm cutting cals to BMR on my weeks between stages and doing lots of cardio during those times to try to help lower my bf%.




So excited to move on to stage 2 and continue getting stronger!
