My weight loss journey has been extremely slow and frustrating. I've been eating clean and working out (in a serious way) for about a year and I was just not seeing any results. Finally I think thinks are changing. Here's some progress pics:

The "before"s are about 150 pounds and the afters are about 140 pounds. Not a lot of actual weight lost, but its clear ive toned up and gained some muscle.

SO HAPPY .

    Great job!! What have you been doing differently? I think you look great now!! ( but I understand the desire to get weight down lower - I am 5'3" and also have a more muscular build.) The scale has been stubborn for me lately but I am lifting heavy so....

    Hi,

    I am going through the same thing as you, been eating clean and working out for a year. But for me I don't care what I weigh since I will always weigh more than it looks like I do. Recomp is where it is at, and it looks like you are well on your way to leaning up and getting a tight toned body:-)

    I'm 5'4 as well! Muscle weighs more than fat, so the more you tone, the more you will weigh! You look amazing though. Who cares about the number on the scale!

    Wow you look fab. Love the abs. I am also 5'4". I really hate the scale because I am muscular and weigh more that an average person my height. I m trying to shred 20lbs and fit nicely into my size 4s again. I am currently a size 6-8. You inspire me!
