So THIS is what losing the weight of a small child looks like!

Thanks everyone! I'm excited to be getting close to the end of my weight loss journey. I think the harder part will be maintaining it.
 
You have really done an amazing job!

As far as your goal, you need to decide what will be healthiest for you.
 
I never got around to taking pictures late last fall when I first met my initial goal of losing 50 lbs because I had a bit of an 'accident' with a ladder and was covered in bruises around the time that I should have taken new ones. Then with the holidays I put a few lbs back on, which I have lost again, plus a bit more. Since the first of the year I have shifted my focus from losing weight by watching what the scale says to building strength and muscle tone. I have a pair of size 6 jeans that I'd like to comfortably fit into. Right now they are a bit too tight and I have a little muffing top of fat that hangs over the waist yet.

I currently weigh 134.0 lbs as of this morning (started out at 185.8). I used to wear a size 18 jeans, but now am wearing size 7. The bra in my before picture is a 38G, the one in my after is a 36DD.

My measurements are:
(starting/after)

Hips - 48/38.5"
Waist - 36/28"
Ribs - 36/30.5"
Bust - 46/38"
Upper arm - 14.5/11.5"
Thigh - 27/22"

These are my before photos on the left, with my current photos from this morning on the right. Certain parts I think are looking a little too skinny, but my tummy and around my hips and thighs could use a little more work. Too bad we can't pick where we want the fat to come off!

From here on out I'm hoping my progress pictures show more muscle tone starting to show. I can feel them firming up a lot lately, but there's still a small amount of fat hiding them. I will have to wait and see what my new focus on strength training does for how my body looks I guess.

Make healthy choices everyone!

The transformation is amazing!! You look great!! My starting weight was 185lbs as well and I'm also aiming for 130ish so this is super motivating.

Congrats! :)
 
Wow! Check out how thin your ab area is. I'm jealous! Well done on the weight loss, you're looking fantastic!! :hurray:
 
Tig you look more and more amazing every month!!!! Your body is tightening up so much and all the hard work is really paying off.
It seems that you aren't only driving your husband crazy but are also attracting women now!!!!! I would have been extremely uncomfortable about that woman touching me unless it was a close friend playing about. :D
Oops I read your other thread earlier and didn't have time to post and came and posted this on the wrong thread.:doh:

Thanks Tally and Stacey!

LOL Ecky! I figured when you posted on my other thread that you had left me a post but then it was gone that you maybe did it over on this thread. And sure enough! Here it is!
 
Thanks for posting the "before and after" pics. Very inspirational. I am only on my 3rd day of dieting and seeing stuff like this helps.
