    Oi! You're not moving on without me! Okay, so I'm a day late, and my morning routine is out of whack, so these were not taken at the gym, but Berry, I have bared my belly for you!

    Just for comparison - this first pic is where I was when I started (no belly baring) at 15 1/2 stone (217 lbs)

    And here I am this morning at 8 1/2 stone (119 lbs)

    And because I promised, I let hubby take one as well (and there's the belly in all its wrinkly glory)

    When I started this month, I had gone to maintenance because I had given up hope of getting my tummy flatter, but thanks to Berry's challenge, I dropped my calories down to 1800 on non-workout days and 2100 on workout days and shed a whopping 1/2 stone (7 pounds) this month. Let's just say the tummy is looking a lot less flab-u-lous!

    Blimey Flausa, that's the first time I've seen your before pictures. Your progress is totally amazing, a true inspiration. I so envy your tiny waist and super-fit arms! :flowerforyou:

    Hi, I am Alan from bonnie Scotland. The first picture was taken in June 2010 and when my dad uploaded it to Facebook it gave me the kick up the backside I needed! I started my lifestyle change in January 2011 and joined MFP in September 2011.

    The second picture was taken in January this year with about 7 pounds to go and the final picture was taken last week at my goal weight. I still log in every day to maintain and am now doing strength training 2 to 3 times per week along with some cardio.

    This thread is awesome -you all look great and I can see the difference in everyone's pictures. I remembered yesterday halfway through the workout on the treadmill - so half of my run was liberated. :) That's a first for me! I'm going to join you all on the June challenge - very motivating! :):flowerforyou:

    I want to play!

    In the next week or 2, one of two things will happen:

    A) I'll find out I'm pregnant and not mind how huge my belly is getting

    B) Find out I'm not pregnant and start eating less!

    I'm guessing either option could make for interesting belly pics ;)

    Here are my May 1st photos:

    I'm not pregnant :cry:
