    You look amazing, can I ask did you drop inches? You didn't really have any to drop from your before pictures but I'm always curious.


    I didn't really drop inches either...maybe like a half inch around the hips and a smidgen in the calves. If anything I have gained inches in a couple areas, but feel like the composition has changed for the better. In my case, the scale is the devil and tape measures don't even show me adequate progress.

    If I just weighed and measured, I would have long ago quit.

    Take progress pics!

    Amaze-balls!!!! Do you know how much bf% you dropped and muscle gained? You look incredible!

    It's all about the pics. The numbers just give a way to qualify your progress. The pics help you see the body as a whole which is how everyone else sees it. It's not like the numbers are written all over so people can see them. Pictures let you step back and see the whole package. And OP you are the whole package:love:

    Love that your goals are around what you can do with your body! It's not just something to look at and feel good (or bad) about. You do look great BTW!

    Thanks for the kind works and support everyone. I hope that I can inspire others to work towards fitness goals and keep going, even if there is no scale change or you feel like "it isn't working". Dedication, persistence, and patience!

    This is a good place to start to figure out your calories requirements and macros. I wear a Fitbit and use that to figure out my TDEE (plus manually adding in a lowball estimate for weight training days). I make sure I get 120g of protein, 50g of fats, and let the rest fall where they may. I have been known to 1800 calories while cutting and 2400 calories while bulking. I am still playing around with some numbers to maybe lose a little more fat for the summer and then will pursue gaining lean mass again in the fall.

    Also, for anyone wondering....VS Swimsuit :) The bottoms are the same, but I went with a new top this year - I think they are on sale still.
