Before and After Photos

So I just took my first set of before pictures. I've already lost 22 lbs, I wish that I would have done this at my heaviest. I just really just need to work on my mid-section and lift my booty a little. Any exercise/diet advice is appreciated.

I did find this picture which is me at my heaviest- 160 lbs.

    I'm doing 30 Day Shred which has a lot of squats. I have a knee injury so I have to be cautious with squats.

    Body weight squats won't help. You have to use some weight, and if you do it properly it can help if you have knee pain or something.

    I went from 165 to 186 in one year when i moved to USA and i got knee pain, now i've started training (one month ago) and my knee pain is gone.

    I mainly do squats, deatlifts, rows, overhead/bench press. NO MACHINES, free weights only!

    I'm really aware of my knee alignment while working out. I'll have to try with more weight. I've been doing 8 lbs in each hand.

    I have! I just didn't know her name. I've not gotten that one. I've been told I look like the girl from twilight- Anna Kendrick.

    Thank you! It's been a long road. About 2 years to get to the weight I'm at now and another 2 years trying to tone up.
