Summer 2004 It was easy to wear a bikini...I had just gotten married and was thin, around 133 pounds. Gained 65 pounds...stopped thinking about bikinis...lost and gained, lost a little here and there but figured I could never get that body back again.

I started mfp at 190 with a goal of 55 pounds to lose.

This year I started losing weight, my diet started on Jan 29th and I bought a bikini! Sometime in Feb or early March. The top pic is me trying it on at the store (knowing I was buying it too tight), next to two pics trying it on again on April 25th.

The bottom 3 pics are from today, 151 pounds. I am not at my weight goal but I am fitting that bikini! And I didn't have muscles before. I think the weightlifting is helping me fit the clothes better before I reach my weight goal!

Also below is a pic of me from my honeymoon :)

    Talk about some awesome motivation! I just recently bought my bikini and I'm kicking it hard at the gym and at meals to be able to rock it as confidently as you are! Keep it up, girl! Thanks for the positive boost for me, and the rest of us ladies, working towards our bikini's!

    I agree with you and the weight lifting. It definitely has given u awesome definition and muscle weighs more than fat so that is probably another reason why u look AMAZING even though you weigh a little more compared to your honeymoon picture. Seriously, you are great motivator! Just seeing your results doesn't make me want to give up until I reach my ultimate goal! I want your toned/strong arms, hahaha!

    thank you so much everyone! I've been lifting as heavy as I can either shoulders biceps triceps chest or back. On a workout I do only one of those muscle groups then next time another one. Sometimes I do some leg work or abs but want to add more. I also play softball all the time and a little kickball :)
    Ps I joined the gym at the end of February.

    I think you look better in that bikini now than you did when you weighed less. The muscles make a big difference. Great job!!
