Figured it's long overdue to make a picture thread. So here it is! :bigsmile:
I'll start :glasses:

I haven't got recent pictures, these were made on April 6th, one month into the All Pro program. I'm 34 years old, had 2 babies (one born by c-section), 1.65 m / 5'5" and a weight of 56 kg / 123 lbs. Based on these pictures Sara and SideSteel estimated me at approx. 24% BF. Since then I've lost another 2 kg of weight:

I'll post newer pictures soon! :flowerforyou:

    Think my back is the most lean part of me, very curious how it looks now. Another reason to get DH to take more pictures of me soon :wink:

    You are both much smaller than me. Sorry, I should phrase that as "leaner". I still need to lose at least another 15 lbs., maybe more.

    According to your ticker, you've already come a long way. Kuddos for already being this far! :flowerforyou:

    I did have dh take my before pictures today with me in a swimsuit. Maybe I will post those once I can post some after shots with them. I gave no muscle definition in my flexed pics. :frown: In the meantime, here's my first MFP body shot, also taken today...if I can do this from my phone...

    Mod edit: Picture removed as requested by poster.

    Ive got new pictures! I'm quoting the old ones below for coumparisons sake:

    My arms and shoulders are better developed then I expected, legs, abs and buttocks are lagging. I am however very glad to see that there is a big improvement in bum shape since the April pictures were taken! (Edited to add that in the original April back picture I was feeling rather self conscious about my behind, so I cropped it out. Now there is improvement, I'm confident enough to share the real before with you :wink: )

    In these new pictures I'm about 3 kg lighter then in the old ones.

    Your arms and shoulders look fab! I noticed the difference right away. The last picture is super-cute - your tattoo looks so great on your toned waist and you clearly are feeling good about yourself :)

    Ok, here are my most recent before and afters. The before is from when I started All Pro; the after was taken at the beginning of my current cycle (6). Clearly, I'm pretty happy with the results. I *heart* All Pro 4 EVA! :love: :love: :love:

    Looking good pandorakick! I can definitely see progress everywhere, yes, you're right that there is probably more progress in your upper body, but I can see a difference in your lower body as well. Overall, a leaner look. Great job! Love the last pic!

    cmeirun - amazing progress! So much muscle showing, and yes, you look happy in your current pic. I love the way your waist dips in. And only a 12 pound difference. Wow, just wow!

    Ok, so I have never posted pics on MFP, I'm reading a forum post on how to do it. I'm getting it to work, but how do you get them side by side, like yours cmeirun? I am actually trying to get 3 side by side.
    Edit to add I am using photobucket, and what size do you make them?

    I made the side-by-sides in powerpoint: just copy in the two pictures, adjust the size/crop/align them together as I wish, then if you select all three images at once (by clicking and scrolling over with the mouse) and then right click you will see "save as image"; it'll save all three as a single jpg. Then you can upload to photobucket or wherever. For forums photos with a width of about 600 pixels is good :)

    ^^^^ Ditto this. I was just too lazy to do this, doesn't help that I currently don't have the software I'm used to for graphic design / photo editing. (Where art thou, oh Photoshop?!)

    Pandora: I see a huge difference in your arms! But I also see a difference in your back and look at those legs...you have a gap between your thighs you didn't have in the first picture. Excellent!

    You look great! Look at that teeny, tiny little waist of yours and those guns and of course, that back!

    I will never be as thin as you and Pandora but I hope to have some muscles like you ladies one of these days.

    Wait, what? Do I have a "thigh gap"?! When did that happen?! :noway:

    Ok, you asked for it - here goes! As much as the before pics horrify me, they do show how far I've come. My goal is about 20 more pounds to lose.
