Hey guys!

I've lurked on this board for YEARS for motivation. I owe it to MFP members to give back! Here are my progress pics. My "before" pics are so embarassing, but whatever. These are just progress pics. My goal is to fit into a size 2 and have a visibly muscular body.

I started at 170lbs. Lost about 8 right away with very low carb eating. I decided that I could not live like that anymore and slowly started incorporating carbs back into my diet. I never gained back an ounce. I maintained for a few months, then April 23rd of this year I started doing Insanity. A week ago, I added Brazilian Butt Lift. Don't let the silly name fool you. It's a WORKOUT!!! lol

My diary is open. As of last Friday, I've upped my calories to 1800. I haven't met that goal everyday, but it's getting better. Thanks for looking!

BEFORE (October 2010 and August 2011 respectively)

    Thanks. I only use the Bum Bum video every other day. So far, it's seems like the most efficient workout.

    Thanks Amber!

    I can't stop staring at the AFTER pic. My husband bent down to take it and the lens was in line with my waist. The angle seems so weird and unflattering lol.

    Congradutlations you have done a wonderful job so far. Keep up the hard work.

    I had to laugh that you included the half inch on your height. I am right there with you at 4'11.5"

    Great job on the weight lost so far. I am 5'3", and I know how much 20 lbs off is for us compared to someone who is taller. Keep it up and you will get to your goal. Slow and steady wins the race!!!

    Thanks! I'm losing about 0.5-1lb a week now. Totally ok with that too. I'm more focused on working out than on the scale right now.

    To be honest, I just do one of the workouts every other day. It's called Bum Bum. I find that it is the most efficient. It's only 30 minutes long.

    Thanks. Maybe that top pics was a little over 170lbs....That was a horrible time for me. I had to wear that hideous bridemaid dress with a cast on because I had just broken a few bones in my foot. At the time, I refused to step on the scale.

    But yes, I do feel much much better now. I am a completely different person from the inside out =)

    I have a lot to lose, around 40lb but have lost 10 so far!

    Can I add you? I'm at 168lb now.

    YES of course!!!

    I know my before pics were from a long time ago BUT I took a lot of breaks doing this. Had I just stuck to it I would have lost it all within three months. You CAN do this!!!!!
