    I hate to ask, but which is before and which is after? The cut/shape of the shorts/bottoms in the two pictures is different, so it is hard to see any difference there. Your arms look muscular in both photos. You certainly don't look overweight in either picture. Good for you!

    I'd bet the photo on the right u weigh more because muscle weighs more than fat but u look good in the right pic so who cares?

    The right picture is the after in which I am heavier.

    I have lost over 90 lbs in the last few years and started lifting heavy last April.

    I didn't realize I wasn't suppose to post pictures if I look good... I can get some fat pictures if you want. *shrug*

    I'm sorry. I certainly wasn't implying that you can't post pictures if you look good. Actually, that was my point. You look good in both pictures. Don't you think so?

    Yes, both are good... I def looked better than when I started my journey but I am way more solid now... I prefer to have muscle so the second picture appeals to me more. Thanks tho, I know what you are trying to say. :)

    this is a big inspiration for me when I feel like the scale just isn't moving fast enough...or gaining even. You look great! Way to go!

    I can totally see the difference. The definition in your abs, arms etc. I found your story inspiring because I find the scale lies too! Thank you for sharing
