Semi-full-frontal.....clothed, of course.

These pics really do not do me justice when it comes to the definition I can see in the mirror. Maybe it is the lighting, who knows? Again, a little puffy here, but am weighing in at 127 this morning, about 2 pounds up from my normal weight.

Semi-full-frontal.....clothed, of course.

OK, so this is my mid-section with my thighs exposed...

This is just a closer picture of real estate that was once owned by the Abdominals.

Oh my God, I can't believe this is what I look like from behind....but the BEFORE pics are supposed to be grodie, right?!

From the side it's not completely gross...but nowhere near where I want to be.

Doing a little "pose"...hopefully I will never take a picture looking like this again.

My butt-leg in all its glory!

This is about 2 weeks in, working out by myself...the diet COOOUUUULLLD be cleaner and I probably could be eating more. 145 pounds.

Where the TRICEPS are looking to relocate to.

So, I thought it would be interesting to see HOW my body is changing, so I did an overlay from one week ago. Kinda crazy! There is definite change in the ol' muffin top! The outline is from the May 8 picture above compared to the one I took today.

I can see a little difference in my chest and shoulders....

I love getting that little "bowl".....

Here is a (crappy) shot of my back.

OK, this is the LAST pic I am posting until Tuesday. That is when I will be posting my pics for the EXTREME FAT DESTRUCTION...I have a friend coming to help, bc, as you can see, I can only take pics of 1/2 of my bod.

OK, OK...I know I said no more until Tuesday. This is it I swear! I just wanted to see if there was ANY change in the old butt...and I think there is; granted, I was standing with my feet together in the first one and slightly apart today. New "starter pics" and measurements Tuesday!

I haven't worked out in a week. My diet was perfect until Monday. Haven't been eating too much b/c of the sickness...but I have been "cheating"...not all the time but a little. Going to the gro sto tomorrow to replenish my clean eats.

This is not what I want to look like...but I figure it is an alright shot of what to work from...my tummy is definitely chunky here...not digging the uteral pouch.

Here is a little bit of a closer shot. I was trying to capture what I see in the mirror...that slight line by my hip bone....

Here is another booty shot. I swear, there is like no shape. It is just.....big. It does appear to have a little less cellulite though...

OMG. Ok, so I don't know why I think I look better than I do....thank God for self confidence! But the pictures show things I don't see in myself. WOW. OK, what I want is attainable, but I HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. I wasn't even going to post bathing suit pics, but, after the ones from earlier, I had to.

Full Back....FLEXED?

Front Thigh Flexed. I want my legs to be pretty again! 64 Days til goal!

Here are my full body shots! This is my OFFICIAL start of Week 1 on the EFD. Here I am on day 4. These shorts are a little small on me...they are what I USED to work out in, so that was kind of the point....

Full Body...Front Flex

Ugh....Full Back Relaxed

Arm, side pose, flexed.

I want to be able to stand with my feet closer together and for my butt to look good and my thighs to help Smokey out and not create forest fires when I walk.

I don't even know what to say......DO WORK is all that comes to mind.

Pretty self explanatory...

These are "the JEANS" that I took a pic of myself in my FIRST pic........my abs are so stubborn! Ugh, but really, I HAVE to drink more water.....and do more cradio. Can't blame anything but me at this point....

This pic doesn't do my arms justice....

I am liking my arms and shoulders.....

Here you can see more of my stubborn midsection. It probably did not help that I ate THEN took pics, LOL. OOPS.

This week coming up, I have got to take things more seriously. My diet this week has been 98% good....I have missed a couple meals...but I have GOT to get 4 days of cardio this week. That is my goal.

Just a comparison shot.....this was after I stopped and started my EFD plan with Stevep78 3 times in as many weeks.....more consistent now.....on day 14. This pic was taken on day 13.

This one is a little far away and I am standing at a slant but I can see light poking through my thighs! Please excuse hair/facial expressions in these pics....just woke up. Day 18 of EFD, and Week 1 progress of Hot Body Project.

Although I have plenty of cellulite still, my butt does seem to be perking up from the side view. It is very difficult to take pics of my own backside....I need a full length mirror.

Slimming down a bit....

These pics REALLY do not do my back, shoulders, and arms justice.....

I need a tan....

The black shorts...

Black shorts....comparison from earlier this month...

NEW WORKOUT GEAR! I thought it would boost my motivation! :P

Ab shot.....

My lower abs are stubborn.

Still rockin the cellulite, but I think it is improving. Gotta get consistent with my cardio.

This one is a little closer and looks a bit better, too.

Getting better, but not good enough.....

These are my GOAL JEANS; I used to rock them back in 2007. As you can see, they are too small. BUT, I was not able to get them over my hips a month ago. Imporovemenr for sure! These are size 3...I was rocking a 10 in Jan.

And the GLORIOUS muffin top.

Checking myself out in my work out gear....tummy still soft and love handles still lovingly clinging to my obliques, but definitely slimmer.

Are you kidding me? Less than 2 months ago I could barely BREATHE in these!

WOW. I am loving this!

This is so crazy...these are the jeans from the very first pic. I would do side by sides, but I broke my laptop and don't have access to the old pics. THANKS STEVE P!

Please excuse the bad lighting and the blurriness.....just woke up. :)

I see some definition in my legs....still have a long ways to go. I am pretty happy with the way the front of my body is progressing...it is just the backside that is not so much.

I think these shorts just hit me in a weird place. But I am liking my quads.

BLURRY! But, it looks like there is small improvement.

The booty is perk-a-lerkin.

Definitely slimming down....Gotta keep pushing on my cardio and keep up my clean diet!

I know these oics are a little dark, but I see more definition this way. I am surprised that I look lean, I have been slack the past 2 weeks but have my diet pretty clean. I am getting there.

I am starting to feel like I am looking long. That is a good thing.

A little better....I need more definition though.

My booty is looking better....not so....FAT. Need more cardio, squats, and lunges. Not bad for 7 weeks.

So much better than Day 1!

I was checking me out in full. And this is the first time I have straightened my hair in a while...I am growing it out and it has grown A LOT in the past few months!

Ha Ha. I am silly.

Just a little comparison.

I am finally starting to see some progress in my back! It is a little blurry, but it is there.

A little closer. Doing this supp free is tough, but I am determined to get results au natural. It may take longer, but whatever. As long as I am stage ready by Dec 5 IT IS ALL GOOD.

SO MUCH BETTER. I have a long way to go, but I am going to work really hard to get my booty right.

This suit looks a lot better now. I am still soft in the middle, but my legs are definitely smaller.

I still have a little pooch on my stomach, but I am definitely a lot leaner than I was a month ago.

OK. Week 7. After the 15th, I am stopping the EFD and embarking on a 16 week journey to my first competition.

From June til now....not bad.

Today is day 66, my Goal Date. I am pleased with the progress but this is only the beginning. I have a long way to go but I have a great network of people who will help me get there.

I like how my obliques are starting to come out.

PROGRESS! In the light, I have cellulite still, but it is ok, it is perking up. I have a lot of work to do here though.

Not bad for 8 1/2 weeks.

So, here is a preliminary pic that I took a few days ago. Holding steady at 130.........

First real progress pic in a while. Bad lighting and I am pale, pale, pale.....but I am happy where I am and the progress I have made thus far. Slowly but surely, I am moving towards where I want to be.

I like how my midsection is looking. I want more definition, but this is great.

Looking strong!

Flat, but I would like to see more definition. By this May, I will have a 6 pack!

A little side shot....

And the other.....

This was taken yesterday morning just before I was leaving for the gym.

And this was after I came back. Slimming on down. About 127 lbs right here.

Remember the "goal jeans"? Well, this is them!

Remember the "goal jeans"? Well, this is them!

Remember the "goal jeans"? Well, this is them!

Please excuse all the red marks; I was bundled up in several layers of my uniform for a while today. Besides that, loving it. :)

A little leg action....I definitely have not been going as hard as I was over the summer and need a tan, but I will say, they are looking good. I definitely want more definition. but they are coming along nicely.

I know this doesn't show much, but I think it is cute. I like how round my shoulders are. :)

I am just feeling FANTASTIC!!!!

So this is one of the suits I plan on competing in, possibly. I need to work on standing at an angle....also, I am feeling puffy today, so there is not much definition in my midsection.

Here is my backside...while I will say it looks a million times better, there is still a LOT of work to be done here and around my lower back.

These pics really do not do me justice when it comes to the definition I can see in the mirror. Maybe it is the lighting, who knows? Again, a little puffy here, but am weighing in at 127 this morning, about 2 pounds up from my normal weight.

Here is my backside flexed. It seems as though I have lost a bit of definition here. Also, the love handles are prevalent in this pic, but they will be taken care of. Now I know where I stand, where my trouble areas are, and what I am proud of. I have plenty of time and I will do my best to get the rock hard bod I KNOW is inside me. I have come a LOOOOOONG way since the summer of 2009!

Side by side, Jun 2009- Jan 2010. I have come a long way, but I have a long way to go. But I know, this is not a race....it is my lifestyle.
