In the past five weeks, I have lost 15 pounds. I really couldn't tell that much of a difference until I found a picture of me at my starting weight! I am so excited to finally be losing weight again and I can't wait until I finish the 30 Day Shred and see the results then!

    thats quite a bit of weight since you were kinda small to begin with.

    well done though, i want to lose the same but i think it will take me a few months

    Omg thank you for posting this you really can see a difference. All I want to lose is 15 pounds but I was nervous that it wouldnt be that big of a difference. But your pictures show proof that there is! Keep up the great work, you look great :)

    Not to denigrate your accomplishment but I think you were beautiful and sexy in the "before" picture. I'm not sure that I would have thought that you needed to lose weight based on that pic.

    Thanks! Truth is, the first picture was just taken at a flattering angle. I was quite chubby. Another truth, according to BMI, I am still overweight... :(

    Thanks! I actually wasn't small, the picture was way more flattering than reality. I thought losing this much weight would take forever but by eating a 1,200-1,400 calorie diet and doing Dance Central daily, I lost it really quickly. You can do it too! Keep faith. :)

    I know 15lb make a huge difference. My pants are super tight *sigh*. Some I can no longer wear.

    Nice! You look great in both - but yes, you can really see a difference! I just hit 16 lbs myself and I think you can see it. My partner says you can, but he's biased :-) But I did switch to a smaller size jeans a few days back - woo hoo!!
