1.5 months of crossfit before/after photos

I've been doing crossfit for about 1.5 months now and have noticed a great difference in myself. In just one month alone I lost 2 inches around my middle, GAINED an inch around my butt, and actually gained a pound. And those measurements were from 2 weeks ago, so they are probably different by now. Body fat percentage is still relatively high (and I don't know if the actual number is right, since I've had different people calculating it for me each time). But after the first month, my weight has begun to go down a bit. Although you can't see it in the picture, my back is more toned and so are my arms.

I go 4-5 days per week and (according to my HRM) burn anywhere from 350-600 calories per session. If I'm in the lower area of calorie burn, I run afterwards as well (I'm going to be running a 5k soon anyway). I eat around 130-140 grams of protein per day with a carb intake of around 120g. Not always clean eating (lots of friends who like to dine out!) but I try to eat healthy 90% of the time.

Anyway it was frustrating to actually SWELL up for the first two weeks (gained 7 lbs of water weight), but now that it's all starting to fall off, I am feeling much stronger, happier, more alert, and confident. Still have quite a ways to go for my goal (body fat around 19%) but this is encouraging to me. Hope it is encouraging to you as well!

Don't judge me by my beige-colored bra. lol
