Hey MFPers! I am ALMOST half-way to my ultimate goal of 155, and so I finally took some progress pics today. I can see a slight difference, and curious to see if others can see any difference...

When I real goal, i will post a more complete "success story" with all my stats, back ground info, my story, etc.

for now, here's some basic facts:

I am 29 yrs old, and I am a clean eating vegan (been vegan for about 3 years).

I am 5'9"

I just started strength training ("Body By You" book is my guide) last week for the first time in my life.

I have PCOS, and doing this without meds.

    You can definitely tell! It's not a slight difference either. Everything is smaller and there's definition popping up all over the place!

    Keep it up! You're awesome!! :flowerforyou:
