3.5 months in our local box. New to this sub. 26/f. Any ladies in this sub?

I have already lost 25 pounds and stronger than I have ever been before. Wore a bikini to the pool for the first time in 6 years. Is this a good place to post before/after pics? How strong is this sub? Any new people to cross fit?

@p1saint2 Hey! I've been doing CF for about a year and a half. 40/f . I don't post a lot, though.

Congratulations on the body transformation!

@yohannessheep You are a hero! You should post. Starting crossfit at almost 40 make you a role model . How inspiring! You have the guts to do what many don't. Please do post more.

@cadi I started Crossfit 2 weeks before my 45th birthday. I must be a grand Poobah, then.

Funny story---one of the younger girls at my box asked me to talk to her mom about Crossfit. "You know, to explain that it's not just young people who do it."

@faitheisthesubstance You should be proud others view you as a role model. I am sure she meant it as the nicest if compliments!

 

[faitheisthesubstance]

@mikemcmack She did! And I did speak with her mom, too. The daughter is an awesome girl and I made sure to tell both her and her mom that.

@p1saint2 Best username I have seen in a while

 

[p1saint2]

@owlsight I have been on reddit over a year but I couldn't remember my last password after my phone updated the reddit app. Hardest thing for me to do making a username.

@p1saint2 it is Aggressive yet Feminine, seem like Crossfit is the place for you

@p1saint2 Not 1 negative comment on this thread. We need more women in r/CrossFit.

@p1saint2 38 cis female, just hit my 2 year old CrossFit anniversary. Lost 85 pounds in a year doing 4x a week CrossFit. The year prior, I worked 4x a week with a personal trainer and also did an hour on the elliptical or treadmill, gained several percentages of body fat so I can definitely say it was "CrossFit" weight loss.

Just to keep perspective, CrossFit year one: 85 pounds down on the scale, from a size 20 to a size 12.
Crossfit year two: gained 10 pounds, went from a size 12 to a size 6.

@dreamer6424 39/F, here. Thank you for sharing that! I lost 70 lbs in about a year, a year ago. Started Crossfit in October and lost a few more pounds but lately the scale has been inching up while I feel like I still "look" like I am getting smaller. Clearly I need to do measurements again....but it really helps to hear that I may not be crazy.
