Updated progress pics




Well here they are. I'm a little disappointed in the progress but not too down by it either. I was looking at the first pictures I took when I started BFL last July, and I've made some pretty good improvements. I'm feeling much more confident in my clothes and wearing sizes I didn't think I'd be able to squeeze into. I'm finally able to wear a bikini at the pool and not be embarassed or completely self conscious the entire time. The hardest thing for me is that when I reach a happy weight/size, I slack off thinking "hey, I'm finally liking what I see" and then I end up right back where I started. I know that I have my down moments where I eat too much & slack off in the workout dept, but I believe that I can pick myself up fairly quickly these days and get back on the right track. I'm excited about my upper body development but really need to focus on toning up my abs and lower body. They're the trouble areas. I've got 3 mths until I'm in the caribbean strutting around in a bikini. Now if I could only get my boobs to grow and perk up. Ha.

I stop by your blog from time to time, but rarely comment. Today I couldn't resist. Ummmm, you look PERFECT already! Seriously. I'd never guess you've had a baby. I certainly wouldn't be disappointed if my physique looked like yours.

Wow! You look absolutely incredible!

If I were built like you I'd walk around in a bikini all day, every day! :-D

Seriously, you look really great!!

Hey girl!!! Looking good, real good! Don't fret, you'll look HOTT on that beach in September. That's if Jon lets you out of the room long enough to enjoy it.

Great job Melissa, you look fantastic! It's obvious how hard you are working, and you've got the guns to prove it! You should be very proud to wear a bikini!

I see a Jack Daniels something in the background, but I can't figure out what it is. It doesn't look a bottle, so what is it?

As I've always felt, I hope to be your body double some day :)

I hear you on getting comfortable and then not being able to maintain. You've done a great job since I've met you, though.

Melissa you look wonderful! Keep up the great work.

I do the same thing. If I weigh myself and it's down, it's like permission to eat bad. I just try to stay off of them.
