Before & During - 150 lbs to 135

Hi everyone! To preface, I'm a 5'6", 22 year-old female.
A quick summary of my journey so far: in April, my fiancé and I went to the Florida Keys for two months. Thanks to loads of margaritas, daiquiris, fried fish, and general island life induced laziness, I put on about 15-18 pounds. Wow! I went from ~138 to 155. My fiancé fared about the same.
When we returned in June, we were determined to reverse this and become our fittest selves ever. We restarted our fitness routine of lifting heavy in the gym three days a week and hiking on the weekends. We took up a ketogenic diet, on which I've been eating around 1800-2000 calories a day.
Now, I'm feeling and looking much better. My goal is to lose 10-15 more pounds, maintain as much as possible of my current muscle mass and thereby lower my body fat percentage.
Here I am in mid-July at 150 lbs in the "before" pictures, and currently at 135 lbs in the "during" pictures:
MFP has been a great help in keeping track of my macros. I can't wait to post an updated graphic when I'm at my goal!

That's awesome! I have about the about 5 more lbs more than you did to lose. I always wonder what difference 20lbs really makes. These pictures were nice to see so I can have a better idea of how much it really does matter!0

Thanks everyone! 15 pounds is definitely not among the more dramatic transformations I've seen on here, but it's fun to change your habits for a few months and actually be able to look back and see a difference.
Also, props to my fiancé - he's gone from 215 to 196!0 -
You look awesome!! This post has got me right stoked, I started at 150 in june, and I'm now closing in on 140, aiming for 130! I'm also 5'6" and I'm 23, I hope I look half as good as you in 5lbs!0
