    You look amazing. It's results like this that make me realise it's not all about the scales!

    Yes! Inches matter more. Lately I've been trying to watch my diet, lift heavier & record the results every Monday.

    Awesome job! What have you been doing?

    - I try to stay between 1200-1500 calories.
    - In August I started going to a crossfit-type workout class 3 times a week which helped me tone up.
    - On off days I was riding a recumbent bike on a somewhat challenging program for 1hr -or- I would jog on the treadmill for 30 minutes.

    Recently...
    - 4 weeks ago I cut out bread, pasta, cereal, potatos & all those starchy carbs. That made a big difference on my waistline & helped me lose 6lbs
    - 2 weeks ago I decided to focus on building muscle rather than burning fat with tons of cardio (because I was stuck in a plateau). Now my trainer suggests lifting heavier weights with less reps, and not to do anything on my off days.

    I guess I'll find out if building bigger muscles will help me tone up & lose a bit more fat!
