I'm so excited to be able to post my success story here. Woohoo! Okay, let's get started.
Here are my stats:
Age: 24
Sex: Female
Height: 5'5"
HW: 165 lbs (2006)
SW: 155 lbs (2012)
CW/LW: 124.2 lbs (9.20.14)
GW: 125 lbs
And here are my current measurements. Unfortunately, I didn't start measuring until I started lifting in April.
Bust: 33.5" (from 35")
Waist: 26" (from 29")
Hips: 34.5" (from 37")
Thigh: 20.25" (from 22")
Calf: 14" (from 14.5")
Arm: 10.5" (from 11.5")
Now for strength gains:
Starting Working Weight:
Squats - 45 lbs
Bench Press - 45 lbs
OHP - 45 lbs
Deadlift - 95 lbs
Current [Estimated] 1RM:
Squats - 170 lbs
Bench Press - 100 lbs
Push Press - 85 lbs
Deadlift - 190 lbs
Here's the very short version of what I did to reach my goal weight.
1850 calories per day when averaged over the week (more on weekends) and lifting heavy. For more info, check out my blog.
And finally, onto the pictures. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures at my starting weight. These before shots are from the end of March, right before I started lifting. I was about 138 lbs at the time.
(I don't have any before pictures of my back.)
So, in closing...
I'm so excited to finally reach my goal weight. I haven't weighed 125 lbs since I was 17 years old, right before I met my husband. However, this is far from the end. I've still got recomp and a possible clean bulk cycle in my future. There are always improvements to be made, and I have no plans on stopping now. Here's to always getting stronger, hotter, and better!
