The before picture is from July 4th last year (and yes, that's a bowl of homemade ice cream in my hand...I just realized that, lol...didn't even put it down for the picture!) I didn't actually start SBD until January of this year. The after picture is cheesy I know, but I was taking it for my husband to show him the bathing suit I'd bought. And I faded my face out cause I'm just paranoid, lol.
This way of living works. Eat healthy, exercise, enjoy life.

| Hey you look great. If I looked that good in a bikini, I'd be posting my picture all over the place. |

Wow!!!!!
You look fantastic! What was your exercise regime?
I agree with your approach of eating healthy and exercising but after 5 months of exercising my abs are still lacking!
Great job!

Thanks!
I've lost about 23-25 lbs. I'm 5' 2" and was around 150 when I started. I'm about 125-127 now.
I've been doing Jari Love- Get Ripped videos three days a week, and some kind of cardio the other days. Get Ripped is a series that is strength training with light weights and lots of reps. For cardio I ride my recumbent bike sometimes, or do Walk Away the Pounds, or do something off of the On Demand videos they have for exercise on comcast.
My belly is still pretty soft, lol. I can't really tell if there is muscle under there or if it's just the way I'm shaped. I told my husband I had a 12 pack (six muscles, topped with a layer of fat). But I definitely think the muscle I have added all over has helped me drop the weight. I hope the toning up will continue.
My only regret is that I waited until I was 40 to actually do something good for my body. Guess better late than never? |

| i second that regret....i started this when i was 41.....probably shallow thinking on my part, but i can't help but think that i wasted most of my 20's and my 30's fat..............but, like you said, you gotta start somewhere. and don't they say 40 is the new 20......i know i feel like it :). |

| we are the same height and your starting weight and current weight are my starting and goal weights. thanks for posting this so i can see what a difference it will make. i can use your photos as a little motivator for myself when i feel the urge to cheat. i don't think eating any kind of "forbidden food" would make me feel as good as it would feel to look like that. keep up the great work!! :) |

Thanks y'all!!
It helps me seeing the pics sometimes too. It helps me stay on track and think about whether I'm making healthy choices. |

Thank you for the compliments.
I keep thinking of the conversation, I think in Nessa's journal, about self image. I don't see anything worthy of the comments here. I still see mostly flaws.
It's something I'm really trying to work on, to just accept what I am. It's incredibly intimidating to post a picture like this!! |
