    WOW!!! Amazing transformation!

    Okay, man! Where did you learn how to use PhotoShop so well? I mean, those abs look toooooo danged good to be true! LOL! Awesome job, man! I am a bit envious. Amazing results. I respect the work that you put in the gym. And, first and foremost, in the kitchen!

    That last comment is so sexist. Not all women work in the kitchen ;)

    @PAFC84 - is that "the last comment is so sexist" directed at me?

    I've no idea. I'm not going to scroll back to look. Did you post about work in the kitchen? If so, then yes it was a comment based on your comment. It will have been said in jest though-and actually on a second reading my comment doesn't quite make sense. I should change it to-"its not just women that work in the kitchen".

    Then it might have been! All good! No worries. :smiley:

    Yes, it is. It looked - to me - for some reason like a star. I sit corrected!

    Awesome, you are so beautiful now. You look like a completely different person. Have people who haven't seen you in in awhile been shocked? Love your gorgeous hair!
    Awe thank you so much! Yes especially my family! And my husband tells me that when he puts his arms around me it’s like so shocking to him! I love that the most.

    Loving the new look

    Thank you! When I lost the first 60+ pounds I took the picture in my favorite gym tee shirt... now it’s big on me. The other pics are of us running the Golden Gate Bridge Friday! Huge day for me!

    WOW! Amazing transformation!!!! What worked for you (besides being in a caloric deficit)?

    Thank you! It’s gonna sound super boring, lol: but at first, it was eating less and moving more. I lost around 20 lbs that way without dieting/exercising. Earlier this year, I decided to try running (mostly because a doctor told me I’d never run again and I’m stubborn, lol). Turns out, I’m not bad at it and it lets me eat more food, so I’ll take it. In the summer I joined the local gym so I could lift as well (and for winter running). I was starting to look scrawny and wanted to keep as much muscle as possible while sculpting. I’ve lost another 20 lbs with running/lifting.
    I successfully reached my goal weight and doing a bit of a recomp now and trying to figure out what maintenance will look like. Thanks for your encouragement!!

    Hey, boring is sexy! It is all about mindset, right? And I used to run a lot, too! Loved it....along the Roanoke River early in the morning or late in the afternoon.....nothing better! Now, I just go pick up heavy things! LOL! Any, you are more than welcome. Keep on, keeping on, lady! You do look ABSOLUTELY amazing.

    This is stupid for a number of reasons. 1) the comment was made to a guy 2) there's a saying that abs aren't made in the gym, they're made in the kitchen. #fail

    I bet its a laugh a minute with you lol

    Well, he (?) is an Eagles fan... :D

    Dude, looking good! The ladies are going to be all over you. I can hear the song right now....Sharped Dressed Man! LOL! Killing it, dude!

    So, in all seriousness, what did you do? What worked for you?

    I did the keto diet and made my fat butt run like I was in the marine corps again.

    Awesome sauce. I am doing low carb thing (I blow up like a puffer fish if I eat too many carbs) and timing my carbs around my training sessions. I am "prepping" for a power lifting competition in March, 2018 so will explore Keto after that competition (I have a strong interest in it but need to figure some more things out for myself).
