I joined this website in August of this year and now just 4 months later.. I reached my goal weight (one pound under actually)!! So now I weigh 124 pounds. My starting weight was 148!

here is my before and after shot..

and here is my front and back from today..
Picture1-2.png

as you can see, my arms are still a little hefty and i have a tiny tummy pooch. so my question is... do I shoot to lose a little more? I obviously need to incorporate more weights to tone up nicely.. but do I keep on trying to lose in addition?

    no way, your tummy looks fantastic!!! you have amazing curves. If you want to tone up a little more maybe do something like hip hop abs to define your abs more or do weights for your arms? I think you look freaking fantastic though!!! I can't see a place you need to change at all. Great job, you look fabulous.

    WOW - you look AMAZING!! I do not think you need to lose more - but that may be bc you are so small in my eyes! I think you should decide if you are happy where you are - do you feel good? Can I ask how tall you are? I am having trouble setting a goal weight. I have one in my mind - but not sure if it is realistic???
    Great job!! Congrats!

    Do what you want to do to look how you want to look, but you look AMAZING girl! If I were you, I would aim to tone up and leave the little bit of meat alone. Your curves are beautiful.

    Awesome job!

    I suggest doing some overall weight training. Muscle burns fat and increases your resting metabolism. Also, you'll get better results with full body lifting instead of trying to focus on a specific area. You probably won't lose much weight, but you'll be more cut and defined. I suggest checking out the book The New Rules of Lifting for Women.

    Great job girl! You look fantastic for sure!!!! I started this site in August myself but as the winter crept in..so did laziness. But im finding my way again and seeing your post is def more motivation :) I think you look great and if anything...dont worry about your numbers..just continue to stay active and eat healthy as your lifestyle. I hear Hip Hop Abs is fun but I have Insanity and Love it! Great job on all your hard work!!!
