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.

    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.
