I had not actually seen your before pics - just the ones taken when you started the online consulting/coaching with SideSteel. This is amazing progress and I am so happy for you.

I loved reading your story.0 -
Thanks for posting . You are truly an inspiration. I'm "older" like you (47) and have a similar starting weight (183) and height as well (5'1.5"). I'm just starting my journey with weight loss and strength training (lifting,etc) but you give me credible hope it can be done . You look amazing and congratulations on your tremendous success !!! Best wishes as you continue your journey0

Look at those abs! You've done an amazing job! I didn't see if anyone else asked about your bone density since you started lifting. This is a fantastic post. I'm glad I creeped your page this morning!0

Thank you so much!
I had a bone scan done last February (so 14 months from the first one) which actually showed more thinning, however, it was done on a different machine which I understand can show different results. Also, from the time I got that recommendation from my doc to resistance train, to the time I could actually start a program due to the physical therapy I did, I only got in 7 months of training. So while I am still concerned, I am hopeful things are getting better now, and next year due to an insurance change, I can go back to the clinic that did my first scan.

That would be great, I hope that works out!0 -
WELL DONE !!! An inspiration to us all.0

Really well done.
So glad you did it pre menopause. It will be so much easier for you to maintain and keep your bone density and muscle mass as well as you may still get a little skin shrinkage.
I started my much small journey half way through menopause and wish I had started a couple of years earlier so I wouldn't feel i was forever trying to play catch up with my muscles and bones.
Well done!!!!
For everyone reading this - please try to get in shape before you hit menopause.0 -

You're 50? Bloody hell...I thought you were 25 with a body like that! Amazing.0

Actually, I hit menopause 4 months into losing. While I wish I had started earlier, it's all good, as I am pleased I finally did it. No use having regret over something I can't change!

Thank you! The last picture is me just shy of my 53rd birthday. Let's just say I am in better shape now than I ever have been.
Though to be fair - pictures often show our "best side". What you don't see in the photo is the cellulite and loose skin. I have both, but will happily take those instead of obesity.
