Hi everyone! Kind of excited and nervous as this is my first success thread. So, a few big successes for me, I finished the 30 day shred and I'm only 3 pounds away from my halfway point. I also went from a size 17 to a size 9. Yay single digits! I figured these were good reasons to post some pictures! So this first pic is from before I started dieting, not sure of my exact weight but I know it was over 185. My MIL posted this on facebook and tagged me in it. I looked at my notification, saw it and cried.

This one is from about 3 months later. I thought I looked pretty good that day too. Not so much. Sorry about the face lol. Didn't know someone was taking a pic! I tried to avoid them. Also I love it /sarcasm/ when people tag you in pics like this.

Here is me in the same shirt 10 days ago, a little better I think.

On April 25 I started 30DS after finishing 60 days of Brazil Butt Lift, which was awesome if anybody is thinking about trying it. I lost 8 pounds during 30DS and a few inches too. Here are my before and afters for 30DS. Before has the black undershirt and after has the green undershirt.

Not sure if there is much visible progress there but I feel so much better and my clothes fit better too! (yay) Also here is a before and after face comparison.

Finally, here are my 2 biggest NSVs so far. The first one is that I am now halfway through C25K. The second is that I finally bought a pair of shorts and am wearing them in public! I haven't worn shorts in public in 3 years!

Thank you for reading my success story and looking at my pics!

    During BBL I lost 16 pounds. I lost an inch from my neck and 3 inches from my waist. My measurements say I only lost an inch from the widest part of my hips but I lost 1 to 2 pants sizes (depending on the brand) and my bottom got a lot higher and a lot less jiggly, lol. I would definitely recommend it! It was kind of fun too. It works out the rest of your body also.

    Good for you! I can definitely see a difference between the before & after pics when you did the 30DS.. I just started it 6 days ago... and am regretting not taking a 'before' picture. I *think* my stomach looks a little different, but that's it.. but I know changes don't happen overnight! Thanks for posting your story/pics.. it's always such a motivator to see real people getting into shape!
