Past goal weight and reached goal size

I starting really calorie counting and hardcore exercising this past January due to a contest at my job and kept going once it ended. I weighed in mid January at 196 lbs and I wanted to get to 160 lbs. As of yesterday I weighed in at 157.8 and I reached my goal of size 8. Here are some pic changes. No laughing at the bikini pics as I know I can work on more toning. I wouldn't mind losing a couple more lbs and I definitely want to get more toned but either way if I can do it (and I yo-yo'ed in the past like many) than anyone can. Now it is about maintaining and I am confident I can because I know the hard work it takes to get here and there is no going back.

    Yep! The pear shape...all the weight stays in the lower region ha ha ha. Thanks everyone I really do appreciate it more than you know!
  • Congrats on reaching your goal. I reached mine at 150 this morning and am now thinking a few more pounds wouldn't hurt. It's a great feeling to reach that goal!:smile:

    How did you get your abs to look that good? Are there any specific exercises or toning you can recommend? I carried all my weight in my stomach, so now I have a lot of loose skin. The good news is I can see if finally starting to tighten up some.

    My abs are not that good ha ha ha thanks though! I do aerobic classes at my gym and strength training classes. Many times they do a portion of abs work out. I really want to get into pilates and yoga because a former co worker told me that is a great way to tone. Hope that helps.
