    LOVE! Awesome job!!!

    Thanks guys! It took me about 2 years. First year I lost 25, and this year I've lost 18.
    I go to the gym 6 days a week: lifting + cardio 3 days a week and just cardio only the other three. For cardio, I usually walk 10 minutes to warm up, run 10-15 minutes, and then hop on the elliptical for 20 minutes.

    Sorry to continue to bug, but did you do a specific weight lifting program? Or just free weights, squats, deadlifts etc. Thanks!
    No worries! I did circuits given to me by my trainer. Some free weights, some weight machines. None of those pop programs, though. The circuit I'm doing right now is something like:
    -24 weighted walking lunges
    -15 chest presses
    -30 step-ups on the bench
    -15 seated rows at a machine
    -10 burpees
    -12 single-leg deadlifts with a kettlebell
    -5 weighted 6-ways
    -12 tricep pulldowns
    repeat x3
    and then abs:
    -30 russian twists
    -30 double crunches
    -30 scissor crunches
    -15 mid-level leg raises

    hope that helps!

    Great job. On a side note, your waist is only a half inch bigger than one of my thighs. I've been cursed with the football player's legs.

    You look amazing! This is the exact size I want to be, I am bookmarking this for my inspiration to shift my last 10lbs!
    Can I ask how long did it take you?
    And also did you go to the gym (you mentioned heavy lifting)?
    Same question!

    Took me about 2 years! I did go to the gym - invested in a trainer to give me lifting routines, was diligent with my cardio, etc.
