    Yes, please! I would LOVE for this transformation to happen to me! How did you do it?

    Cardio to burn the fat, started jogging but even fitting in more walking works, I do now go to the gym but it isnt necessary, the stomach for me took longest to shift ( probably because it has been there all my life!).

    You find that once you start exercising you make more conscious decisions about what you eat, my multiple trips to takeaways each week are gone and I try to eat the correct portion size. I still have chocolate, biscuits, pasta etc, just not the excessive amounts I used to!

    Good Luck :)

    Ah, well I guess my body does not work the same way. I ate a certain amount of calories, kept track of how much of each food group I needed & was a cardio bunny (Kickboxing, jiu jitsu, jogging, biking, walking & rollerblading). The belly fat still held on like super glue. Right now I'm trying out heavy lifting hoping that getting bigger muscles will help use up calories & fry off the last but of fat. Hoping!

    Second picture is from Dec (149lbs) after lots of walking, Stronglifts 5x5 which lasted about 2 month, completing C25K, 30 day shred, and other cardio exercises

    Third picture is from last week, weight 140lbs. After I completing Ripped in 30, and then switching to heavier cardio in Jan with swimming, biking and running in preparation for a Sprint Tri.

    I'm trying to figure out maintenance so the past month or more of my diary is not a fair indication of my eating habits that got these results.

    <<edit>>to be fair and honest, the back is great (IMO). the front not so much... loose skin and a pouchy pouch

    5ft6.5 - start weight 175
    finish weight 125 (though I fluctuate as high as 135 and back again)

    Before:
    dc29bf8a.jpg

    My size 16(UK) baggy jeans were skin tight and uncomfortable but nothing else would fit.

    After:
    b59c380e.jpg

    A size 8(UK) dress that was too big for me! There's about a two year difference between the pics, it took a while, but it was worth it!

    For the first time in my life, NO cankles!
