Post your before and afters! I'll go first!!

I'm all nervous to even post these, I am so conflicted between pride and shame!
I have more (non-blurry) before and afters here, from when I officially started my fitness journey: http://livingdomesticallyimpaired.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html
...and I thought those were pretty good until I found this horrendous picture of myself from a hiking trip a full year before I started being really serious about losing weight. Compare to the before pictures in that link and you will see! I've lost waaaaaay more than I realized.

Before: Around November 2012, 5' 5.5" tall, weight unknown, but I don't even wanna guess.
After: Hiking this past weekend, in some pants that were too snug at my previous weight! Currently 129 lbs on a good day.


These pics are blurry, but I think we can see it's time to just retire those pants.


Never thought I'd have the confidence (or the hip circumference) to wear something like this!

Hi.
I am doing workout 4 times a week and after each session during fat reduction period I was doing 30 minutes on cross trainer (including HIIT for 10 mins). All the exercises I do at home because I work at night and during the day I spend time with my child.
All my life I was obese and finally saw the results since I started count calories. I bought kitchen scale July last year.
I found some calories calculator on website and calculate my daily calories to maintain the weight. I deduct around 600-800 calories just to get deficit.

I am using diet ''IF IT FIT YOUR MACROS''.
I eat everything and recording all macros. Clean and Dirty Food.
As long as it fit my balance, weight goes down without any problems.

During Fat reduction I kept macros :
-Protein: 30%
-Carbs: 50%
-Fat: 20%

Since I started mass bulk period I added around 800 calories and now my weight is going up very slowly.
My diet and training looks exactly the same. I just don't do cardio now.
At this moment I am on 4300 calories/day. I don't mind whether it's a training day or not.

Mass Gain period macros balance:
-Protein: 25%
-Carbs: 55%
-Fat: 20%

First 6 photos Fat Reduction -30kg in 7 months (from July 2013 to January 2014)
Last 2 photos Mass Gain +5kg in 5 months (from February 2014 to May 2014)

Before: Jan 1 2014 @ 162lbs ( 5'2")

After: June 15th 2014 @ 128lbs

Followed daily calorie intake of 1200 cal 4-5 days a week
Only water and diet soda ( for a treat )
Did not eat after 7pm
Mostly ate my carbs in the morning and no later than 2pm
Walked 25-30 min a day
Started tracking my steps of 1000 a day

Pm me if you have any questions

Still a work in progress
