My weight is down to 156.3lbs No idea what my bodyfat is though.

[Snowgrrl83]

My transformation..... 3.5 months of lifting. Started at 104lbs...bulked until I hit about 116lbs....then cut back down to 108 lbs. I'm going to keep up the lifting FOREVER! Possibly compete in a year or so?!

Latest Pic Update! :] Please gimme some feedback, I love hearing constructive criticism or anything that will be beneficial.


Here's another one I noticed. Pic on the left is from September 2010 (didn't really lift legs...), Pic on the right is from April 10, 2011 (started lifting legs in January-ish). I'm liking the progression of my quads :]

All these transformations are so inspiring. It's so hard out in the "real world" because there are so many people, close friends even, who always talk about needing to lose weight and they never do, and just make excuses. It's hard to be around that all the time but seeing all you amazing women who have made the change lets me know that I can do it. Great job!

Just keep thinking to yourself that you are only bettering yourself. I love when I see myself eating a grilled chicken salad with like brown rice or something on the side and then I look to the left and see a girl talking about trying to lose weight-yet she is stuffing her face with nachos or a burger with curly fries? hmm...

Keep staying positive and motivated! Remember this will only benefit you physically (good, nutritious food = healthy body systems) and mentally (high self-esteem, just being happy with yourself overall.) Gotta love yourself.

I started at around 140, I cant remember exactly because I always said i was a few lbs lighter! I know I was a little over 32% body-fat back then too. After two years I have dropped to range between 113-117 and 15.5% body-fat.

You look amazing! Great work! Loving the abs!

[perumina]

great work mccanin! What are your goals? You look great seems like you put on muscle quick!

thanks!! :]
umm...well i'm trying to build lean muscle while doing fat loss. I haven't put on any weight really, i have lost weight or toned up in my trouble areas though. I'm trying to build my shoulders and now arms since they are lacking...i just lift heavy for all of my lifts with also some higher reps within the workout.

my legs can get muscle quick! it's my upper body that doesn't (except my back i'm assuming.) Shoulders and arms won't work at the pace i want them too :[

I know what you mean. My shoulders were way smaller than my hips and my thighs. I was told I needed to build my back and my shoulders up to make up for the difference because well, it wasn't looking all that great. I got my shoulders to grow, my waist is trimming down and my hips are even a bit smaller. My thighs are a little bit smaller but not much so it's up to my upper body to get the proportions right. And that's a lot harder to do than the lower body.

phew, someone knows what i'm going through :]

Totally! I ended up training my shoulders twice a week while trying to not overtrain. Delts are developing nicely though and my back has gotten pretty big. Now I'm back to shedding fat to see what's left after I drop a bunch of %.

January 1, 2011 to May 16, 2011

[oregonchick76]

Sometimes I have a hard time seeing the physical changes... But I think over 3 months I can definitely see improvement. My strength gains are much easier to measure! I still have a long ways to go, and I'm struggling with excess skin/fat on belly from having kids, but I think by the end of the year I'll be happy with my body.

[RRV2]

I just wanted to say thanks for the motivation. I clicked through all the 15 pages of this thread and I see that there's hope for me yet. I don't expect to look like a figure champ after 4 kids, but I hope to have some transformation pics of my one one day.

[TeayotaSoupra]

Ok I have to ask... How in the CRAP do some of you still have big breasts?!

I was at a car show/race the other weekend and there were 2 females with really big breasts and yet skinny. Why the hell didn't I get the milk from that cow or egg from that chicken?!?!

I think it's just genetics. I started lifting heavy about a year ago and my body fat is down a lot. My waist (where I carry like 95% of my fat) is several inches smaller but my boobs actually got bigger. I'm only 21 so it's possible they were still growing, or maybe there's muscle underneath now that I can't see, but I went from probably 21-22% bf with 32Cs to maybe 18ish% bf with 32Ds.

Well, they were huge to begin with, now they're slightly less huge...

[karoline8]

here's my contribution the first is 10 months ago...I don't have any older ones except on my bodyspace...

[summernags]

Wow, you all have made such incredible progress! I am very inspired.

I am pretty new to Bodyspace, but I have been on my own health journey for a little over a year now. The first attachment was at my highest weight, about 165 give or take. Then the second two were both taken recently. I am currently at 137 pounds. My body fat % is a little high..well, average actually..but this summer I am going to kick myself into the best shape possible! Hoping to obtain some killer abs while I'm at it.

P.S. The first attachment's filename is kind of upsetting. When I saved that picture on my computer I know for a fact I wasn't very happy with the sight, resulting the "ew"..
I am happy to say I no longer think "ew" at the sight of pictures of myself!

Fantastic transformation...good for you, you've worked really hard and it shows!

[Kushkiss]

Holy crap... this thread blows my mind. I know this has been said about a billion times but it needs to be said again! You guys are SO inspirational! I seriously can't wait to be able to post pictures here.

[grapplergirl]

My weight has stayed the exact same at 134lbs, but I've lost about an inch and a half from my waist. Granted...I am crazy pale and have terrible posture in that first pic. Looking forward to leaning out more!

[VolleyCoach]

Its been almost a year since I started training after the birth of baby#2. I’ve been training primarily for strength...followed Bill Starr’s 5x5 from Dec to April. When volleyball season started, I added in some HIIT that I did w/ the vball team I coach. We had to cut our gym memberships to save some $ when life threw a curveball and one of my sons had to be admitted to the hospital. (He is fine now.) Instead of throwing in the towel and stop training, my hubby and I switched modes to sprints and plyros on the beach coupled with playground fitness...lots of work on the monkey bars. Anyway, here is my progress. I can’t believe it myself!

Through most of it my weight didn’t not fluctuate at all. I maintained 140 lbs. Since we started the sprints and training on the monkey bars, I’ve lost 3-4 lbs.

Great work and progress to everyone on this thread! You all are awesome motivators!

[ahez1991]
