I didn't really notice at first, but I was showing my Mam, pictures of me in August compare to October and I saw the difference! I've been working my butt off since I finished uni, and I hope you can see the change too :)

I am 5'7
Starting at 165lbs
Down to 140lbs

I don't know if I am going to post these images correctly now, but I shall give it a go!

    Are you using the IMG file, and then changing your IMG on either end of the file to img?

    Thank you so much :)

    I am now on a mission to get back down to 126lbs, that's what I used to be. I am starting Insanity tomorrow morning, going to keep a Tumblr blog to keep me motivated :D

    I exercise 6 days a week if I can!

    I go to circuit training 3 times a week, which is both strength and cardio training. Some classes are with weights, and some are just body weight exercise. Then 2 times a week, I do my own strength training in the gym, and finish it off with HIIT, and then 1 day a week I just stick to cardio, sometimes this is just a walk at an incline, just to burn some calories so I can eat more in the day :)

    I tend to eat about 1,300 - 1,600, depending on how hungry I am, and how much I have burned that day!

    You look wonderful! It is funny-looking at your first picture, you look happy and healthy and I would not guess that you could lose 25 pounds. Seeing the after picture, I get it! I think I have to keep this one to remind MYSELF that losing 20 pounds will make a huge difference!
    thanks!

    Everyone said that to me too! But I knew in myself that I could do better, not because I really needed to, but because I wanted too! I feel so much better now that 25lbs has gone, I'm much fitter and happier! Good luck with your journey! I'm sure you'll do great :)
