Krista asked that I post these, and im actually gonna X-post because I have had a few people ask me.
These pictures are my 4 month progress (Dec 15th-Apr 15th) I am obviously on month 5 now and looking a little bit more toned but these are the most recent ones I have as im not due for more pictures/measurements until May 15th.
I have got to say 6 months ago I would have NEVER said this would be me! Eating healthy, going to the gym 5-6 times a week and losing weight and toning up. I got to a point where I was very depressed over what my body had become and it affected my everyday life. All throughout high school/teenage years I was in the 120's and after high school I got a desk job and things just started going downhill from there. I gained 40lbs over about 3-4 years. Now a healthy lifestyle and the gym are one of the biggest parts of my life and I cannot imagine going back.
Please ignore my face in the "front" pictures I dont know why in both of them I am biting my lip or something.
Before Pictures: December 2010, 163lbs, Size 10/11
After Pictures: April 2011, 139lbs, Size 4/5
I dont have my EXACT measurements here with me, but we just added it up the other day so I do remember that i've lost over 11 inches off of my waist/hips/thighs! I believe it was 3 off of each leg, 3 off of my waist, and 2 off of my hips!
I have had BIG calves/thighs all my life so its an amazing feeling to have smaller legs!

Ash you look great! *jealous* I bet you have your dh drooling don't you? You should be really proud of yourself, that is a lot of hard work you have put in! Look at that six pack! And you are all tan and gorgeous, I so hate you right now! Just kidding.
DAAAAMN! What a great change in such a short time! I'm starting to get that flabby middle section look and you have totally inspired me. You look amazing!!
Thanks soooo much girls! My routine was pretty much just gym 4-5 (sometimes 6) times a week doing cardio/lifting weights...I also did a 180 with my diet. I only eat grilled chicken, pork (sometimes), lots of different veggies, sometimes rice, ...etc. Pretty much a very clean diet. It was HARD work but soooooooooo worth it. Now its not really hard to me anymore, its just how I eat and I wouldnt change it because I am so happy with myself for once in my life!

You look great! Congrats on the weight loss and the new healthy lifestyle. I recently just decided to start eating clean. I am now 164 lbs. Back when i use to eat clean i had gotten down to 125 lbs and look great. I just feel so freaking fat right now, I can't believe i let myself gain all the weight back. Thank you for sharing, its has motivated me even more!
