    Ok, first time posting and I feel really silly... But I'm going to do it anyway! Not sure if I'm doing the photo embedding right or not...

    5'9"
    Work full time with 4 kids, and a 2 1/2 hour commute each way (2 times a week)... Had to MAKE time to work out for ME!!!

    Before = around 180
    During = around 167
    Goal = 150ish

    So this is only a face comparison as I don't have really any full body comparisons. Now that I am under 200, I want to take progress shots every week or two.

    You look great! What is your current weight?

    I'm 5'6" and currently 217!

    You look great! We are very similar except I am just starting out at 256. Can't wait for my own before and afters! :)

    ETA: several apologies: Sorry for the messiness, the dirty mirror, and the size of the pics!

    Wow, that is a fantastic result! Especially in such a short time! Can I ask what your strength training program was??? Thanks x
