Hi Friends!

I have been watching my calorie intake and exercising on and off all year. I started in January at 186lbs, and I am so glad I took a photo. After a rough year, I fell off the wagon quite a bit.... but in August I started watching what I ate and found a new love - ZUMBA! I had become completely obsessed. I was going 5-6 times a week. The second photo was taken in September- at 163lbs. Although looking in the mirror, or even at the photo, I see that I am still not where I want to be.... seeing these two photos next to eachother is so thrilling! Now I have started strength training and kickboxing... my body is transforming quickly- I will post another picture at the end of December.

I just started engaging in the community of MFP this week. I had used the calorie/exercise tracker... but never read the message boards. I am so inspired. Thank you to everyone who is active in the community- on a tough day... it's wonderful!

Here are my before and during photos. I am hoping to post an after very soon, as I am 13lbs from goal! Thank you to everyone on here that has posted your pics, it has inspired me to do it (although I am terrified...)

    You have amazing legs btw. Good for you. I notice your abs got smaller too, excellent! I am seeing that too on myself and I have huge pregnant looking abs. Did you notice your stom going from out to in in the middle? I am noticing that on myself. The fat that was on the outside is getting smaller, The only issue I have is from the side. Oy! That is a huge issue for me!
