When I started to get serious last year about working out, I didn't do much. 30 mins cardio about 3 times a week, that was it. Over time, I increased my cardio, began strength training, and eventually graduated to trail running outside + strength training + lifting.

I'm not where I want to be yet, but this is my progress.. The first photo is a year ago, the second photo is actually a month and a half ago (I have just started actual lifting and have gotten more serious about strength) and the last photo was a few days ago in the middle of my workout : )
Before: 165lbs
Now: 115lbs
5'1

    Finally fixed the photos.. : P The first picture and second picture look similar, but it's because the sizes of the photos are off. I was a size 11 in the first picture, a size 2/3 in the second picture, and a size 2/1 in the third picture.

    Great progress!!! I love trail running too!!! Everything you are doing is a recipe for awesome abs, but remember, lean abs are made in the kitchen. Major props to you girl! You look fantastic!!
