    So this is taking a lotta balls for me to post but I found these old pics on my phone from August 2012 (2 months into Paleo), and I took new ones the other day. I was shocked, it's truly amazing what a difference this lifestyle has made in my body composition. I was probably about 164 here, and now I'm 150. The last time I was 150 was in high school, and I was about a size 9/11. Now I'm 150 and a size 6. Just goes to show what a difference lean muscle mass and clean eating can make!! I owe this to eating clean, Jillian Michaels workout vids (especially 3 months of Body Revolution that I just finished), some running and also Bootcamp. It's been a long journey for me (since September 2011) but it's been soo worth it. :) I love my Paleo/Primal community!! <33

      HOLY crap. Looks like we could bounce a quarter off those abs. Good work (and hard work I'm sure).
      Fantastic change and I bet you feel amazing.

      What a great job!! Amazing how the scale can't dictate size!!

      I too am down from the 160's (I actually started Paleo March 26th at 174lbs) and am currently 152!!

      My computer is blocking the photos!!! I'll have to remember to come back and look once my new Mac gets here.

      I sometimes wonder why so many people want to weight so little. 150 is a very healthy weight for an average female, especially if that's 150 with lots of muscle. :)

      Aww thanks loves!!! I did used to want to weigh way less...now I realize that I am healthy, my body is happy, and I am focusing more on changing my body comp and gaining strength & endurance rather than scale weight. Scales suck lol.

      Wow thanks for all the love guys!!! I am so blessed to have such a sweet and supportive community to belong to. And the fact that you refer to me as inspirational means the world to me. I just got my personal trainer cert, and am training to become a bootcamp trainer. All I want to do is help inspire people to better their lives, so that feels great to hear. Thank you!!! :blushing: :heart:
