    GO GIRL! Annnnnnnnd that's exactly why one shouldn't put so much stock into the number on the scale! You look MUCH lighter in the 2014 pic. I would've guessed your weight was the other way around. So toned and fit!!!

    Amazing!

    Very proud to have you as my friend! Always such an inspiration! :love: :happy: :happy:

    Great job! And a good lesson for those who want quick results, because true transformation takes time and perseverance. Keep up your great work :)

    Awesome job, Toni. I know that I need to work more strength training into my workouts. I tend to do cardio only. Never sure what strength training exercises to do. I love to do planks, but when it comes to lifting I am clueless. I just became a runner a couple years ago which has led to a total lifestyle transformation for me. I recently finished my first non-official half marathon in February (on my treadmill). I am going to complete my first official half-marathon in April in Toledo, Ohio. At my highest non-pregnancy weight I was a whopping 230 lbs with a lean weight of 145 lbs. I lost about 50 lbs, only to gain about 30 back. Now I am proud to finally be at a healthy BMI for my height, 5'9". I have always had a muscular/athletic build, and I know that I can add muscle fairly easily. I am the lightest I have ever been in my adult life at 163 lbs. I guess I fear weight lifting will make the scale go up again and it very well may. That is a mental thing for me. I hate to see that number go up. My boys are both teenagers now and are involved in sports year round. They lift at their school a few times a week. Part of me wants to lift with them, but I know that would be so uncool, lol. I am patient and don't expect results overnight. I guess I just am afraid to cut back on my cardio. Your story is helping me to not be so afraid anymore. :)

    O Hay there, fellow Glass City gal! :drinker:

    OP: AMAZING results!

    Great job. The weight a person is does NOT reveal the whole picture, for sure. What a fantastic representation of muscle weighing more but being worth every ounce. This so motivates me because I definitely weigh more than I seemingly should even when in top shape because of the muscle I gain. Here's to not being depressed over a scale again when I'm working hard and eating healthy!
