I'm not really that type of person either...
Not a single muscle in sight... 😁
Just dropping an image here so it doesn't look like I'm just talking...
Go easy...

I've been scrolling through all your photos, and man, there are some seriously impressive physiques out there right now! I can see 😍
Anyway, I figured I'd just throw my own progress into the mix, just so I feel like part of the crew here. 🙂

A few shots from this morning... First one right after my workout.

image

The water is freezing—but you’ve got to jump in regardless. A total cannonball straight into the deep end.

image

Get on your feet.

image

Well, that’s just common sense—go ahead and take it straight to the head.

image

Here are two photos of my absolute favorite ab workouts.

Here’s a shot of my back from two years ago—back before I overhauled my entire routine to include pull-ups and deadlifts (which were totally new to me at the time). I was weighing in at 143 lbs at about 5'9" or 5'10".

image

And this is three and a half months later, right around Christmas 2006. Weight was up to 150 lbs here.

I haven't checked this forum in four months, so I figured I'd jump back into the thread. ^^
Just finished catching up on all 20 pages...
@ the one who messed up

Oh come on, why is everyone complaining about people posting photos? It’s not like this one is some "look at my gym progress" or "check out my insane discipline and transformation" kind of shot, but seriously... =)

image

(This is from a Boy Scouts trip, and I'm clearly the cute one in the group, haha)

image

Just proving my strength here! (And no, it’s not photoshopped)

Just thought I’d drop in and check in with my fellow forum friends!
I'm uploading six photos here—five of them are from the actual run itself, and then the sixth one is just a little something I picked up along the way while out jogging.

Alright, figured I’d drop some photos of myself in here too, even though I’m still the new kid on the block 😉

What a blatant lie!
In my book, you're innocent until proven guilty... 😳

Yeah, quit the stalling and just post a photo of your chest!
Let Steven Carter3 lose his mind with jealousy! 😉 😁

I know, it's terrible... no cleavage, tight outfits, hair extensions down to the ass, bras...
I really need to work on this. ☕

So, here I am, joining the forum with my photo...
I played tennis for eight years, along with four years each of volleyball and handball, which definitely gave my arms some extra strength. For the last three years, I've been dancing, and I've picked up Pilates over the past three months... I'm 5'7" and about 123 lbs... I know my legs look quite thin, so please, feel free to share your thoughts...

Me too! I'm joining the conversation. So, here's the deal:
http://public.fotki.com/kika3321/ja/
I'm 5'10" and currently 154 lbs. My goal is to hit 132 lbs.
I've still got some lingering pregnancy weight and cellulite to deal with... 🙄
I actually wanted to take some photos without my jeans on so my husband wouldn't give me a hard time about it, but honestly, the cellulite on my hips is pretty noticeable right now.

The quality of these photos sucks, I know... but it’s all I’ve got lying around (honestly, I don't even know what era that third one is from). In that shot, my collarbones weren't sticking out quite as much, and the veins in my arms were a bit less intense... basically, those 7 pounds I lost seemed to spread pretty evenly across my upper body and arms, but my legs? They completely missed the memo. They were skinny back then too—just totally underwhelming. If only the weight had actually gone to my legs, maybe I could have pulled it off... but instead, I look like a total caricature in these pictures, kind of bulky up top with legs like toothpicks. At least now I look a bit more balanced.

And before anyone starts with the whole "you should have worked your legs more" thing... hmmm, I don't know about that... back then, I was absolutely crushing leg workouts (though, let's be real, my diet was probably trash). I was hauling construction materials up floors, lugging around an average of 55 lbs in my hands for like 2 or 3 hours every other day... plus, I was playing soccer once or twice a week for 90 minutes at a time.

Haha, here’s a happy little photo... look how my feet ended up after all that dancing...😁 ...but my arms look pretty weak, honestly. I just have this little bump under my shoulder from ballet, and I really need to work on the rest of my arm because I'm not a fan of how thin they look. Does anyone have ideas on how to strengthen them? I guess I'm wondering where exactly to build muscle to get more volume there.

http://img217.imageshack.us/my.php?i...6240051bx8.jpg
And here is another shot showing those thin arms; any advice would be appreciated...😢 I think by the end of the season my whole arm will probably tone up, but it might end up looking like a typical professional dancer's, and I'm not sure I love that look. I'd prefer to have a bit more volume in my arms.🤷

Thanks so much for all the lovely comments!
I do Lilith Pilates yoga, though I also squeeze in some home workouts with Renata whenever my schedule allows. I dabble in dancing, rolling, and just about everything else under the sun. I suppose I’m your classic fitness enthusiast who just loves keeping things fresh and changing up the routine.😉

Hercegovka, Nancy Campbell5, Morgan Torres, Gutaperka, Tyler Ross86, and Nicole Edwards56—thank you all!

And now, for the replies...😉😁

Nicole Edwards56, hearing that regarding my legs is such a huge compliment. I’m not exactly tall, so I always used to worry that my legs looked far too thin. Not anymore!😬

Here is a photo so you can see how it looks in heels.
(image)image[/IMG]

Tyler Ross86, I actually only own one single pair of sweatpants and I hardly ever wear them. It isn't quite true that I'm constantly in jeans, though I am almost always wearing a skirt.😉

Honestly, I didn't view this as some kind of competition, but rather as a nice little nudge to keep training. I really couldn't care less about competing with the ladies on here. After all, I've been around the block a few times myself!🙂👋😉

Hey there! So, I’m carrying a bit of extra weight right now, and I am fully committed to shedding it! I’ve already jumped into some exercise, mostly playing basketball and stuff, but I’m honestly sitting here wondering if that’s actually the best move for me. I really need to drop this belly fat fast because I have a huge party coming up in December, so I’m looking for the absolute most efficient way to get results!

Check out my arms—they look pretty weak right now, and I’m dying to build up some serious strength, especially in my back too!
image

I’m actually feeling pretty good about my legs, though maybe they could use a little more muscle definition, but hey, I don't know, you guys be the judge!
image

And here is where all that extra weight is hanging out!
image

I seriously need some advice, like, ASAP—what should I be doing to lose weight? Oh, and also, if there are any pills or maybe some kind of supplement out there that works, please let me know! Ideally, I’d love something that means I don't have to spend hours at the gym because my schedule is just so packed, so if I could just pop a pill and then go for a quick thirty-minute walk with my dog, that would be perfect. I can't really go out for a run because it gets so freezing cold in the evenings, and since I don't usually roll out of bed until noon, my mornings aren't exactly prime running time!
