We love them! Progress Pictures Please!

I can't believe I'm doing this...
It is my goal to sculpt and build some more muscle for the perfect bikini-ready body... As you can see, I am in desperate need of defining more abs (plus everywhere else... haha )
Nonetheless, these are progress pictures of my "Toning mission"! C:

I understand you want more definition - I do too! But may I just say, you look like a goddess! I love the smoothness and femininity of your body! You should be so proud, you are beautifully built! And, once you get some more definition going on, will be unstoppable! :drinker:

Haha! C':
N'aww! Thank you so much! It really means a lot to me.
Well... I just want to work a little bit harder on defining a more "hour-glass" like figure and then, I will hopefully be content (at last)!

Hello folks,

Welcome to the most obnoxious after shot, EVAAAAAR!

Before - just over 16 stone (224lb), August 2010

Former fatty, recovering binge eater, PCOS soul cyster, Zumba instructor, kettlebell-swinger and the happiest I have ever been.

You look fabulous, you look so much younger as well.

Wow you all look so amazing. It really gives me the incentive to keep going. I have lost 50 pounds a year ago before MFP but i kind of stopped working on losing weight for awhile and just maintained it. Now I am really working hard on losing my last half of weight and stop being lazy. I don't want to keep loosing and gaining the same 20 pounds. You all gave me the inspiration to keep going that there will be a light at the end of this difficult journey. Thank you all. I do have a question. I am 21 years old. Will my stretch marks from being overweight ever go away?

Most likely not, they will lighten up, mine have lighten up a lot



But they are still there for sure. They have creams out that can help with them. I'm actually using jergens natural glow right now, but that's cus I have really white skin. I hear that Mederma works really good but its pretty expensive.

Top is 4/16 right before I started lifting again
Bottom was 5/15 lifting for 4 weeks and eating at maintance



I still weigh the same 135.5lbs but I feel a little firmer. My bf% before was about 24.5% I need to recheck it.

[edit: I'm 5'1.5"]

From around 200 to around 160

You look absolutely incredible! Way to go

You all look amazing! Thanks for the inspiration!

OMG I was just getting smothered by discouragement and about to say F this and quit. these pics are such a motivating force!

Hey, we all do! But they are just thoughts!!! Dont have to follow your thoughts, just get back to it

I was at the same point when I found this thread again today! Instead I'm impressed and cant wait till the day I can show off pics like these! and I will take the advice you gave, too, just thoughts!
