I started lifting weights regularly at the first of the year. I'd been doing mostly cardio work the previous 3 months. The top picture is where I started in January. The one beneath it is the last set of progress pictures I took at the end of march.

He doesn't like the weights at all - he'll go hide in the bedroom if I'm lifting. If I am doing Yoga or floor work tho, he thinks it's time to get a scritch.

He's showing off his 3 lbs lost in this picture....

I've lost 2inches off my chest, stomach and hips. an inch off my thighs. I think all total its right around 8 inches.

I don't go by the scale at all. Because if I believed the scale I've lost nearly nothing in terms of weight.

I just about fainted when I saw the pictures on Friday.... I was wearing a different shirt when I started the picture process (I didn't think it would make a difference) Then I was checking to make sure that I was in the frame and all that other stuff and it dawned on me the that my sides were actually one line with no huge bumps of fat under my arms. So I changed my shirt and into my sports bra to make sure that everything was "equal" and I wasn't imagining things. And I wasn't!

Do you do measurements? You really look like you lost inches, especially in the waist/stomach area! Keep it up! I always want to take before/after pics but keep forgetting.

Yup.... I need to do measurements again - I put it off to get rid of TOM bloat. I've lost inches through my chest, tummy and hips. Bob thought the Tummy and waist were the same thing so I didn't get a waist measurement until Mid-March.
