    Congratulations on your progress. You look incredible! I have never posted in these before, but I can relate to acne. I have tried every treatment in the book -- expensive and what works for me (for years), is plain and simple Dove bar soap (sensitive skin type). I use it to wash my face every night. In the morning, I use Neutrogena oil-free acne wash and if I have breakouts, the Neutrogena on the spot acne treatment. Before you spend the big money, try it and see what you think. Give it a month. I have never wavered from that routine because it works for me so well. For moisturizer, I use Clinique dramatically different gel (for oily skin).

    Hey, you look totally awesome!

    This may not be helpful, but I went through some bad adult acne in my mid to late twenties. Spent a fortune at the dermatologist, etc. What's kept it at bay for me now is Cetaphil anti-bacterial soap at night and Neutrogena spot treatment (the mild 2.5%). In the AM I use regular old apricot scrub. Witch hazel toner in the AM and PM after washing my face, which I thought would be drying and irritating but quite the opposite.

    Congrats on your results!!!

    Thank you for the acne treatment suggestions lol. I will definitely take it into consideration. As I said I would before, I'll show a few pics of my mother (for any moms and/or older women here). Coincidentally, her and I did the same thing. Eating healthier, controlling how much we eat, and resistance training. The only difference is she does more cardio than resistance training while I'm vice-versa.

    Congratulations, but you mean you started at 40% body fat right? There is no way you are 40% body fat now.

    You both look great! Definite inspirations! Re: acne. I've had success with the very simple aspirin mask. Worth a try!

    You look fantastic. Well done. You've probably already tried it, but my kids have had good results with Freederm cream when other stuff hasn't worked.

    Per ance, you may want to get checked by a dermatologist. I know my wife and I both had cystic ance and had to get a specialized treatment. She used mirad additionally and it really helped.
