    Ive not really dieted, just tracked. Weighed myself the other day and was 145 but not sure if that's consistent yet (and no pics!)

    I'm 5 foot 7.5 inches, pear-shaped.

    Almost 4 months progress, I'm 5'6". Kind of gave up on hitting 160lbs as a goal weight as I'm 2-3% away from my ideal body fat percentage (19%)

    @ Day 1: 181.5lbs, 32%BF
    32.5" Waist
    38" Hips
    36" Navel
    23" Thighs

    Day 108: 177.5lbs, 22.5%BF
    29" Waist
    34" Hips
    31" Navel
    21" Thighs

    you guys look great!! Thanks for the inspiration. I just started the day after Easter, I weighed myself then, but haven't since...if I haven't lost anything I don't want to get discouraged.

    Well, I'm 5'5" and 170 now and I am less than 27-28% body fat so actually I don't even know if I'm planning to go down or just stay here and lose body fat. I am a size 8. I will be at less than 20% at 155 ish so I'm not sure. I want to be 22-20% BF. I feel really good at 170 but 170 can be totally different on people depending on your body composition. I have been doing body recomp since January and have stayed nearly the same weight. These photos are only 4 pounds different.

    Everyone looks great!! I don't have any pics, but I started out at 178. I'm 118 now and just trying to tone up what's left.

    I'm 5'5'' and my starting weight was 169lbs. I'm currently 160, thinking a good goal weight for me is 130lbs. I have 3 herniated disks in my back but will get there slowly but surely!
    Everyone has done a great job. Well done guys!
