I'm 5'3" and 38yo. On the right side of the photo I weigh 132lbs, was eating 1200 calories daily and doing lots of cardio. Photo on the left I weigh 135lbs, eat anywhere from 1850-2000 calories daily, switched to weightlifting instead of daily cardio sessions.

Wow! What a difference. I've been weightlifting since January. Hope to get the same results. Good work!

So *that's* how you move the volume from the front to the back! I lost my butt (flat as a pancake now), but I still have a pouch on my abdomen. Great job!

I'm 5'1" & 47 years old (almost 48). I began my journey doing only cardio and Paleo but really what I needed was the regimen. The strictness and rules. I don't do well with *just a little bit* thinking..That's how I got to 196 lbs at my heaviest. My plan has evolved over the years. Now I'm lowish carb and mostly lift weights.

I cannot stress enough what lifting will do for your physique. I highly recommend it if you're able to do it safely.

My gym routine:
Lift weights 3-4 days per week
Zumba 1-2 times per wk
walk on the treadmill around 15-30 mins 2-3 a week. Sometimes longer if both squat racks/leg press are taken
Body flow (Tai chi / pilates) 1 x week
Below picture: 196lbs @ my heaviest and 130lbs currently

I love your results! How long did it take you to recomp?

You are looking so good! The last few seem the hardest but it is well worth sticking to it !

It took me a while to get to post the 'I'm done dieting' before and after. I did post a face before and after when I was close to done. I have been in maintenance for almost 2 months. So far so good. I was 175 - 180ish to start and now 125. I am 5'1 and 47. Now I am working on increasing my strength - I have been doing lighter weights for quite a while but time to pick it up I think.
