    Here's my new picture!

    After one month, I lost 3.5 pounds (it could have been 4-5 pounds, but I ate a pasta dinner last friday night, and I kinda retained some water from that night still.

    BeilaLin: I see a definite "cutting in" at your natural waist line in the front view and I'm pretty sure your derrière is a bit more compact in the profile shot... Great job!!!

    On another note; I may have to gracefully duck out of the September shots, as I'm getting breast augmentation and abdominoplasty next month on the 12th as a reward for being done with the baby/pregnancy years :D I'm super excited, but certainly think I won't be swimsuit-photo ready for quite some time after that. Will see everyone on Aug. 1st though!

    I was just thinking about how close it is getting!!! The good news is, I have switched to a bikini. Not totally satisfied, but willing to make the leap.:smile:

    YAY!!!! Great NSV! :D I wondered why you were ok showing midriff in workout gear pics but not the suit. Are you wearing the bikini out yet or just for progress pics?

    I just saw this! I think this is a wonderful idea. I will post a pic on August 1st. I got rid of all of my bikinis after I had my son, but this is a great way to motivate me back into one. :)

    Thanks.:smile: Well, I have been wearing it in our backyard in the pool (and sort of publicly, when I had to chase the dog when she escaped the yard), but we really haven't gone to the beach yet this year. I think I will wear it when we do go. I have to get a new one that actually matches! But here's the thing--I've always felt that a bikini is kind of more forgiving in the stomach area, because it seems like a one piece accentuates a belly more because of the fabric straining against the chub. Anyone feel me on this one?

    *looks around* Some people are MIA :( Here's my good news:

    Since the July 5th pics; I went from 155lbs to 153lbs, 19.8% BF to 18.95% BF, a 29" waist to a 28.5" waist and a 40" hip to a 39.5" hip! It also appears that my bikini is growing, or more accurately... I'm shrinking!!! See how the hip tie keeps getting closer and closer and the rise keeps well, rising? Just want to give MellowGa a HUGE thanks for starting this thread! I really don't think I would've made it through the plateaus if it weren't for being able to see the side-by-side comparisons :) This is definitely something I will be continuing with or without the thread. I may or may not post pictures next month (though I will take them); my "mommy makeover" surgery is on the 12th, it will depend on how visible scars/swelling/bruising is and if my new rack "drops & fluffs". Anywho...

    You look incredible Swimgoddess =D.

    I'll see about taking some tomorrow, though, it may be as late as the weekend, depending. Computer's sort if whacked and posting pictures etc from my phone is a pain lol.

    sounds good Swimgoddess, but I don't think you should post after the surgery, you will certainly have swelling. But your progress is fantastic, glad it work for us

    This is such a great idea, I wish I would have joined in! The progress pictures I've seen look awesome! Keep up the great work!

    @Swimgoddess : YOU LOOK GREAT!

    I have slacked off most of this month. I will take pictures later today and post. However, I doubt I will see any change. I know I dropped 1.5 inches in July and maybe a few pounds(battery in scale is dead).

    Let's see if this works. I took these on June 1st. I am working on toning up the abs and thighs.

    Well done everyone!!

    I'm posting in a week (august 14-15). I started this late, so I guess posting mid month and reaching out to every one again will serve as a reminder of the half way mark and and remind everyone to keep staying strong and keep getting into the shape you want!

    Had to do it with no pc lol...so excuse and blurriness, it general color crappiness!

    Month one:
    7434194_99.jpg7434194_9722.jpg

    Month two:
    7434194_798.jpg7434194_3506.jpg

    Month three:
    7434194_4283.jpg7434194_3410.jpg

    Some differences...mostly between month one and two though I think.

    Can't wait till next month :)

    I totally forgot to post for August! Everyone who has posted looks fantastic!!! I think I looked better in mid- to late-July than I do now, but whatever. I'm sure there has to be some difference, bc I have lost since then. Will post soon.
