any time any time...just keep posting pics 8):D

but you know, it wouldn't feel so good to you to hear honest compliments if you didn't actually KNOW that you had it going on. The thing is, you are a hot chica who has put a lot of work into her body dietwise/exercise. You know that, thats why its so rewarding to you to hear compliments.

keep it going on! you're getting better and better and definitely an inspiration :)
 
A pat on the back does feel good. I no longer consider how I choose to live work. The first year, it was. Lifestyle changes can be. I am not strict in my routine. I don't count calories or pay attention to portions. I work out so I can enjoy eating and not feel shitty about any bad food or drink. It works for me and allows me to like what I see in the mirror.

I don't post photos to gather confidence from internet strangers but rather to remind myself...DAMN girl keep up the good work. All this good living is working for you. The list of things I don't like about my physical self grows shorter.

3 years ago, I would not have thought this way.

Your story is inspiring! Im glad to know its possible to live healthy and look good without counting calories or stressing over the occasional beer and pizza.

Any tips for shaping the legs?? I'm looking to slim and tone, NOT bulk as I am already pear-shaped and I so I don't want my legs to get any bigger... your legs look great IMO. Toned, but not bulky.

My short-term goal is to lose 5lb. by the end of May, a total of 15 or 20 by the end of the summer. I just started eating healthy today (after a 3 year complete abandonment of any healthy habits), so we'll see how it goes! Wish me luck! I would also like to be able to run a 5k in 24min by Sept. In highschool I ran cross-country and could run a 5k in about 22:30... I miss running! The last time I tried running 3 miles (about a month ago) it took me 35 min :|

I've enjoyed everyone's pics! I will post a before and after shot once I've made some progress.

Roller, good to see you back man. You did gain some mass, niiice. Were you able to lift weights, or only do those good pushups? 2000/week??? shiiiit. That's what I'm talkin about%)

PI...Owwww, hot legs!

Yo bro...

I did half of my sentence in the actual jail, and the other half was in the pre-release center with all of the DUI's and work release people....

At the pre-release center, they had a full gym that I was allowed to use on Saturdays and Sundays...I pretty much focused on deadlifts and benchpresses most weeks but threw in the occasional squat every other week or so....The worst part was the lack of protein....I completely lost my 6-pack and gained fat around my stomach area......My legs are also significantly weaker...Regardless, I have hit the gym with full intensity and have been really focusing on diet to get my BF % lower....

The jail part was hell and I lost a shocking amount of weight...During the week I'd do 400 + pushups a day, and towards the end was banging out sets of 50...

Thank god all that shit is oveer....jail is not a place to stop if you're as health conscious as me...
 
PI I would love to see what happens if you start tracking calories, cut the cardio, and just lift weights for a few months.

Then maybe add in 5-10mg of anavar every day...ahhh but I diverge into the darkside now though =D
 
lol dtergent, skeptical :)

I love that baby so much. I never knew you could be in love with a baby before (duh I guess I would have known that if I had thought about it). Like I get so excited to see him, he is just the most adorable little thing ever.

He spit up his mom's breast milk all over me yesterday LOL. Was gross. Their puppy licked up the regurgitate breast milk off me. It was a nut house :)
 
Just got back to Iraq yesterday. I was on leave for two weeks, and destroyed my body. I'm a little afraid of whats going to happen when I get home for good. 15 straight days of heavy heavy drinking, intertwined with weed, coke, ecstasy, and hydros. I keep telling myself it was just a reward for staying so healthy for 8 months, but i dont know.

By the way, everyone in here is looking beautiful, keep it up.

Heres a couple new ones from before I went home.

Squats and lunges. I like a tight booty and good quads. Girls worry about bulk and most aren't really doing enough anyway to get that way. Start running again like you plan to. I would like it if my inner thighs didn't touch but I don't want to give up my eating style.

I used to measure my worth by my weight. It was always once I get to THIS weight everthing will be okay. I was always trying to meet a goal and berating myself if I didn't get there or if I got off track. Such bullshit! Remember whatever you are doing to lose weight are habits you must continue to maintain that weight loss.

At 5'5", I weight 130-135 lbs depending on the week. This is easy to maintain for me. I used to try to keep my weight at 125 which was HARD! I was not exercising though. I use body fat % to measure progress. Last check I was about 19.5%. I don't place a ton of value into that though. It is just a number ;)

I suggest continue to make positive changes and hold on to them for life. Learn to love all aspects of your body. Focus on strength and ability. Focus on what you have and not fantasize. Fortify yourself with nutrition and live happy.

I think I could be a fitness model if I wanted to train that way :)
 
I think you definitely could. You have a really good base to work with. Well, its all up to what you want out of yourself and working out. Anyways, cheers :)
 
I figured out it is more difficult that I thought to take proper yoga photos with a 10 sec timer.

I am falling out of the pose but here I am.
My pants are dirty from repotting plants and filling the birdfeeders.
Time to hit the shower and blow the stank off me :)
Oh that's my dog Doogans.
