Hi all,

This is my first success post, so I hope it works. The picture on the right was taken in April 2012 in Vietnam and I weighed 162lb. What a difference a year makes! The photo on the left was taken last week (April 2013) in the Philippines, and my current weight is 126lb (a loss of 36lb).

I am not completely happy with my bikini body yet, I need to lose a few more pounds (more than I originally thought), and also TONE UP! But I thought I would compare last year's picture to this years to see if I could actually see a difference and to keep myself motivated. It has helped me feel better about being 1lb away from what I thought was my goal weight (which I now realise isn't).

Thanks for taking the time to read, and keep motivated everyone. :)

    Wow, amazing well done! Was your loss just down to calorie counting on here or did you follow a specific diet!?

    Looking great!
    You look like your well within the healthy weight range. Rather than loose more weight I would suggest a heavy weights programme to build muscle (not bulk,) and reduce bodyfat. Your weight would essentially stay the same but with more muscle definition. I can recommend a book called 'The New rules of Weight Lifting for Women.' Sounds hard core, but it's not :-)

    Way to go! Your body looks great now, I'd suggest you work on toning/small muscle definition instead of losing anymore as your general frame looks perfect for your height :)

    You look beautiful and made remarkable progress in a year. I agree with the other posts that at this point you probably need to primarily focus on muscle tone. Congratulations!!
