Wow, check out those guns!

I've been busting my @$$ to make sure I don't have a repeat of last year's fall holidays fiasco where I lost ten pounds. I'm at 156.2, which is less than a pound from my all time high. Very pleased.

Rocking the way-too-big Mickey t-shirt at Disney World @ 113 pounds. Watch out ladies!

Wow, check out those guns!

I got this far on my own. Taken before I joined the gym. 139 pounds, 12.8% bodyfat. At the time I actually thought I looked pretty good. Good lord what was I thinking?

blah

Starting to get a little leaner.

This is the first picture I started noticing progress in.

Less than a month of working out at the gym.

I still think this is one of the best shots I've ever done.

Finally broke 147 pounds. w00t!

149 pounds 8.8% bf

First time hitting 150 lbs in my life!

152 lbs. pumped after shoulder day.

I *lost* two pounds over Thanksgiving holiday. :-( I am officially a freak. 150 LBS

I was very surprised when I compared this photo to the one on 8-11-07. Honestly I thought my chest had only changed a little since I started training but it looks very different in these two photos. Make sure you take progress pictures! I'm glad I did. It's very motivating when you see hard work paying off.

Ok, now I'm up to 152.5 which is more than I've ever weighed. Unfortunately I'm about to hit a two week stretch for Christmas where I most likely won't get to work out or eat properly. Knowing me I'll probably drop weight. :-(

I knew it! Another holiday, another two pounds of hard earned gains lost. [going to go smash my head against a wall repeatedly] :-) Was able to squeeze in one workout before New Year's madness starts. Going back to my normal routine on 1/3/08! 150.2 lbs

Still hovering around 150.

Less than a pound to go and I'll be back to where I was before the holidays knocked me out of commission! 151.8 lbs

152 lbs

After my FINAL workout (leg day, blech) with my personal trainer. :( 151.6 lbs around 10% bf I think

Weight is finally starting to go up again. 153.4 lbs

I took a little over a week off in Feb for a vacation. I tried desperately not to lose weight and ...... I lost weight. blah. I'm just now getting back to where I was. I am excited I am seeing progress with the arms. 153 lbs

154.2 lbs!

154.2 lbs!

154 lbs!

Inching closer to 155, but still not there yet.

154.6 Argh! Why can't I get to 155?

Got sick and dropped some pounds. Sigh. 152.4

Almost back to 154 again.

Back up to 154.2. Knowing me I'll be dropping some pounds soon. :-/

FREAKING FINALLY! I've gotten so close to 155 pounds so many times but never reached it before. Very, very happy. :)

Still holding at 155. w00t!

I actually took a very short vacation from lifting (my first since Christmas!). I tried not to lose weight and I of course lost two pounds. At least I'm consistent with that. Ugh. Whatever, time to get back to work. 153 lbs

155.6 new record for me. very happy. :-)

Arm day is my favorite day!

I took this after International Chest Day so I obviously have a pump. Too bad it doesn't last forever. :)

I tend to be hard on myself and feel like I'm a slacker on leg day (probably because I hate it so much)....but I am seeing improvement in the wheels I think.

Ughhhhhhhhhhh. November was a complete disaster training, diet, and health wise. I also kept alive my tradition of losing weight over Thanksgiving. I'm now lighter than I've been in over a year. :( 147.5 lbs Time to get back to work!

I'm five pounds lighter than I was a month ago but I don't feel any different now that I'm back into my routine. 150 lbs

Holding at 150 right before Christmas. Knowing me I'll be in the 140's when I get back to my normal schedule in January.

Holy crap I was happy when I saw this. Right now I'm five pounds less than where I was a month or two ago, but there's still quite a difference from where my arms were last year.

So *HAPPY* to be back to my regular routine after WAY too much time off. I didn't weigh myself after International Chest Day because it would have just killed the mood. I'm definitely under 150. Time to start eating right again!

I have mixed feelings at the moment. I'm pissed that I've lost so much weight since November. On the other hand I feel great and I haven't lost much strength. Glad to be back to work! 147.5 lbs

Happy International Chest Day! Feeling great and the weight is going back up.

Increasing weight = happy monkey. :) 151 lbs

Definitely starting to feel like my old self again!

Not really expecting to see any quad progress since I'm trying to get back to my pre-holiday stats.

I can't believe how I look in the top pic. I look skinny-fat! Seeing proof of hard work paying off is so rewarding and makes me want to push for even more.

152.2!

Just finished the dreaded leg day...

Weight is progressively going up again. Very happy.

Not sure what I'm doing here, but I'm doing it around 155 lbs!

After an old school chest workout. All pushups!

Weight is holding around 155. I'm very happy with this considering that I stopped taking weight gainers.

Benched with 80 lb dumbbells today for the first time and weighed in @ 157 lbs for the first time. OMG I am thrilled!

157!

157.6

157.6

Artsy!

158!

158. Very happy with that.

Been hitting my forearms the last couple of weeks every arm day and am seeing some changes.

blah

Two years of lifting!

I feel bigger but I'm not bigger. Weirdness! :)

I've said it a billion times. Take pictures when you first are starting out. You will not regret it.

I've been busting my @$$ to make sure I don't have a repeat of last year's fall holidays fiasco where I lost ten pounds. I'm at 156.2, which is less than a pound from my all time high. Very pleased.
