I would really like to be toned and thin similar to this one day. I am short, so this would be about 125 lbs for me, minding that all that beautiful muscle would weigh more than flubber

I already have my tummy tuck planned for when I do reach that goal. 4 kids in 4 years really did a number on my abs/skin and I need to have major muscle repair done.

Candace Swanepoel is my inspiration. She's thin while maintaining that curve in her hips and light muscle tone. She's only about an inch taller than me, so hey, I could do it!

I would LOVE to see some before and after photos!!!!

I took before and after pics but unfortunately they don't really show my loss or do it justice so I don't think they will offer much in the way of inspiration lol.

Maybe after another round I can do afters and then it will be more significant.

But yes I lOVE before and after pics!!!

Okay I can start this off! First pic is me at ~180 lbs. I took it as my before picture when doing the Insanity workout DVDs. It's not my heaviest, but it's pretty close to the point I was stuck at for 2 years!! (Btw after 60 days, I only lost about 7 pounds, and I thought that was good..hehe

Although I will say that I did lose inches and looked a little different.) Second pic is at the end of my very first round of hCG, ~162 lbs. I actually started that round at 187.5 lbs! Much better investment of my time, imo!

I'm still a work in progress and plan to start my second round in about a week! I'd like to see how I look at around 145-150

Stevie Renee · 08-06-2012, 09:20 PM

It has been awhile since I posted pix and I am just now uploading our mini vacation photos so why not post here?

My mottos: Progress not perfection. Never surrender!~

Fall goal is to get a few off as I always gain in the summer. Too much fun.

Plus I will be 49 and I really would like to be as lean as possible before I become a grandma on my birthday!! (DD baby is due 2 days before my 49th bd this November.)

Close to the time I started coming here to LCF. 233ish? This was in 2000.

This was this weekend at a destination party in Mammoth CA.

This is me about 10 pounds lighter from where I am today:
