Really, I should say before and current, since I still have some progress to make. The photos on the left are from October 2010 at 156 lbs. The ones on the right are this month at 136 lbs. (I'm 5'4".) Not sure what my BF was at 156, but I'm currently around 23% or so. (Just bought calipers a few weeks ago...hope I'm using them correctly!) But can tell a lot has changed, as I went from size 8/10, to a size 4/6.

I've been on MFP for about almost a year, and so happy I joined! I feel so much healthier, stronger and better about myself! I love the boards and the groups, especially the NROLFW group!

    What an inspiration! I am 5'4" and currently weigh 156.5. I weighed 167.5 in October of 2010 and am trying to get down to 135. Great pictures! Any advice? Or was it just eating right, exercising, and staying focused? Great Job, and you look wonderful!

    Thanks everyone! Jodi, so much has been watching what I eat and tracking my calories. My focus when I started was dropping the weight, so I was counting calories and doing mostly cardio (zumba). I did eat back most of my calories during that time.

    Now, my focus has been body composition and weight training. I haven't actually lost any weight since October, but I can tell a huge difference since adding the weight training. I have increased my calories and try to get 30% from protein. I've not been as strict on tracking my calories...but I should be! My goal is to be around 20% body fat, and if the total weight doesn't change much, that's OK with me!
