Not a huge change for 5 months - only 4 pounds lost. Hopefully you can tell which is the before and which is the after! :)

I probably won't leave these up for very long. Any ladies who are interested after I take them down, just PM me.

    Congratulations! You look fantastic. I can definitely see a difference in your before and after. There's a lot more definition to your shoulders, abs and legs. Keep up the great work!

    I can definitely tell a difference in the before and after. You didn't have a lot of fat to begin with so you change may not be as drastic as others, but the proof is there that the system works! Great job!

    There *is* a noticeable difference - less pouch in the front and definitely thinner in the legs. You look *toned* and you look *strong*. (Your figure was pretty admirable to start with, imho.)

    Congrats on all of your efforts! They HAVE paid off!!!!

    I agree with Beeps!

    Great Job! Way to stick with the program for so long, I hope I have the same commitment ( I just started week #1).

    Questions:
    How much stronger did you get?
    Did you measure, if so, how many inches did you lose if you lost any?
    Did you eat at maintenance or a deficit?

    I agree with everyone else, you look amazing. Your figure was good to begin with but there is more definition all over particularly your abs and thighs. Grwat job, thanks for sharing.

    Thanks ladies!


    @perfect10isha

    I did eat at a deficit (I think lol). I had cheat days - not really planned, they just happen sometimes - that I didn't always log, so there's no way to know for sure, but I would guess that I averaged around 1500-1600 calories through out the program.

    As far as strength goes, here are a couple of major stats:
    Deadlift - 60lbs to 100lbs
    Squat - 60lbs to 80lbs
    Bent over row - 30lbs to 50lbs
    Bench press - 50lbs to 75lbs

    Measurements - I hadn't done them (shame on me!) so I'm glad you asked. I lost:
    Bust - 1"
    Waist - 1.75"
    Hips - 1.25"
    Thigh - .75"
