Its not too dramatic of a difference.. but here it goes.

Starting weight (1/23/2012): 172.8lbs
Current Weight (4/29/2012): 162.6lbs
Goal (July 2012): 145lbs

Just to give you an idea on the pics below, I started Cycle 1 of the 17DD around 4/10/2012 at 169 and finished off on 4/27 at 162.6. I basically went low carb (80 to ~120 g carbs per day) and higher protein (at least 90-110 g per day).
I still have quite a bit to lose which, in my opinion, is mainly around my hips, thighs, and butt... so I'm really hoping I can ramp up my routine and get close to my goal before I hit the Carribean in just over 2 months! I'm going to stick to eating more proteins and less starchy carbs over the next couple months... as well as continuing to train 3-4 days a week (if not more).

    1) I think sometimes even when we lose weight, our minds still make us see ourselves as the "old" us. You look great!

    2) I'm 5'7 and am fortunate to have a long (ish) torso... so I think that helps my cause vs if I had a very short torso. :-) Also, I think I have a medium to large build which has always made me weigh more. I almost feel like if I were to get to your weight, it would look too skinny for me- you know?

    Any tips for the 17DD? Started on April 16 and I am down 6lbs. My goal is to be down 20 lbs total, so 14 more to go!

    Your pictures look great. I wanted to check them out so I knew if the p90x plan would work as we have been talking about back and fourth, and yes, I think if you order it and get started, you will be so happy with the results. You arlready look AMAZING and I feel at 140 lbs you just motivated me to work on my stomach and thighs as those are my problem areas! Thank you for the motivation.....I told you we could help each other!
