No Longer Self-Conscious in a Swimsuit! (pics)

Since I moved to Florida over two and a half years ago, I longed to be comfortable in my own skin on the beach. It has been an up and down battle, but have finally made it! About 5 months ago I found a great personal trainer who has helped me to stay motivated for the long term, and it has made all of the difference. There is still progress to be made, but today I celebrate!

Thanks! I am working out with a trainer 3 times a week (mostly small group with some personal training mixed in) and I normally squeeze in 1, sometimes 2, other workouts a week. We do some heavy lifting, but it is really a lot of old school calisthenics, plyometrics, and body weight movements. As far as eating goes, I eat healthy, whole foods about 80% of the time and still do plenty of pizza and wings (and beer) on the weekends.0 -
Great job. Well done!
I have not heard of plyometrics. Going to google it now.

Sure! I'm 5'4", and I was pushing 180 when I started (size 14 pants, large or xl top). Now I am about 155 with a size 8 pant and medium top.0 -

In the past I would try these super strict diets and ultimately never stick to them because I just really enjoy some not-so-good-for-you foods. I've finally found a balance so I can make this a long-term lifestyle. And I simply can't live without pizza and wings in my life0 -

I do! I really feel great and am so happy in life. And I think that is probably more important than anything.0 -

You are an inspiration. I, like Jenya05, have a similar body type. Great to have a visual sense of what perseverance will accomplish. You look amazing and are rocking that bikini.0

Thanks - yup, very similar stats to my starting weight on Jan 1st!!! I'm 5'5" and was 181lbs at beginning of the year. Have dropped 12lbs so far and aiming for goal of 140lbs. You look great at 155....I'd have said you were in the 140s....very toned so you've obviously lost fat & gained muscle. Nice work!!!0 -
Damn, you look good!0

Great work!0
