The difference just ten pounds can make.

I'm about to go for a float in my little bitty pool, and even though I mostly stay pale, I like wearing different suits so I don't end up with definite tan lines. So I'm wearing an old suit that I got years ago and never really wore. But I did take some "during" pictures in it in March, and thought I'd snap a few more and see how things are progressing...

Since the first photos were taken, I'm down ten pounds. Doesn't sound like much, but it still makes a difference. I can see it in my arms and torso, and a bit in my thighs, but they're still pretty meaty. Always will be. Most noticeable change? I have enough confidence to wear this thing for photos and not have to wear 4" heels. :wink:

    I definitely see a difference in your abs - much tighter and better defined - as well as arms and behind. Good work! Keep it up!

    Wow, that's a huge difference for 10 pounds. You look good in the before pictures, but amazing now. That suit bottom fits you completely differently. All your hard work at getting more fit is really showing. Thanks so much for sharing your inspirational photos!

    10 lbs loss looks fabulous on you! Don't worry about your thighs, they're fine. I have huge meaty thighs (I can see tons of muscle definition under all the fat on them) and combine this with being long in the torso and short in the leg.

    You almost don't look like the same person in the after pictures! I mean I can tell it's still you, but you have so much more confidence in the after pictures. And I can definitely agree personally that 10 pounds really does make a difference. I know it does on me, too.
    You look fantastic, congrats! =]
    And cute suit, by the way. Haha.
