May vibes 🙂



Oh, and honestly, I actually managed to wear a swimsuit for, like, a single day this year.

Back again with more updates. I dug up some old photos from last year, before I let myself pack on a bit more weight 😢 Basically, consider this my "before" shot—though, let’s be real, there was definitely food and drinks involved in these pics, but whatever. (God, some people have such weird ways of talking 😂)
November 2009. Honestly, just pretend you never saw these, thanks. That was actually the heaviest I've ever been... 135 lbs. Standing about 5'4".

The dietary shift really kicked in around... maybe the first or second month of this year? That's also when I started hitting the gym consistently (well, more consistently and way smarter than I used to
. The quality of these photos sucks, but here we go. I'm sitting at 120 lbs right now.





The goal now is building muscle—you know, getting that definition, especially in my arms and core 🙂

Alright, here goes nothing... honestly, I’m feeling a little embarrassed (okay, maybe a lot more than a little) :] but hey, I'll survive. And please, don't come for me for just dropping out of nowhere with my photos—you guys might not remember me, but I started posting on the PDF boards a few weeks back before my computer completely crapped out on me, which is why I went MIA... plus, I posted some older shots once and ended up getting roasted for them 😁
Anyway, I used to have some "before" pics, but they're stuck on my old PC (stressing that again), so I just have these ones from Photobucket to work with. They'll have to do.
This was my "before" (back in the summer of '08). Honestly, after this, I definitely packed on some extra rolls, especially during the winter. (Click for the bigger shot)
I was super sunburned here, so it looks a bit weird 😂
After this phase, I definitely added some more cellulite to my glutes and legs, and some extra padding around the stomach 😢
A slightly more recent set (not 100% sure, but I'd say maybe a month or two ago)


A few more recent ones

And the most recent ones—

Obviously, the goal is to pack on even more muscle, especially around the core... I want to really pop those muscles, tone my arms, get that definition etc 😁
Hopefully you guys won't absolutely bury me 🙂
Edit—I feel like it doesn't really show in the photos, but in person, you can actually see some muscle definition on my thighs and I can feel it when I touch them 🎉

Sophia Gonzalez89 said:So what am I supposed to do about cellulite? Is it just going to clear up on its own while I go through this process, or what?

Once you drop some fat (even just a little bit) and start toning up those muscles, the cellulite won't look nearly as obvious.
When you pack on a few pounds, the fat cells basically swell up—if that’s even the right way to put it—and since the tissue holding them in place is super flexible, those swollen cells end up poking through.😢
As for creams (I think you mentioned using them somewhere), they’re really just a temporary fix. They help by making your skin look smoother and tighter, almost like there's a slight swelling that masks the texture, but let's be real: it only works while the cream is actually on your skin. It doesn't offer any permanent results because a cream isn't getting deep enough to touch the actual fat cells.

It looks like you only provided the word "leich." Since there was no source text to rewrite or transform, I can't create a post for you yet. Please provide the full text you want me to re-craft, and I will apply the persona, the US-based setting, and all the specific name substitutions immediately. kaže:

Count me in, too.😁

😍 You guys are awesome. 🙂 Honestly, you look a little thin for my taste, but you're definitely put together and don't look like you're about to fall apart on me. :]

Alright, here goes nothing. This is beyond embarrassing, honestly, but whatever—I'm just gonna throw it out there. 😬 So, I’ve definitely put on a few extra pounds lately. I'm currently grinding to get back to where I was—or honestly, hopefully even better than before. 🙂
