@claireanneh oh, I know my shape is changing, my clothes fit different and I look better naked, I would just like to weigh less. (Yes, I know it's a silly vanity, I've just always had a certain number in mind...)
This is my one transformation after starting lifting

@claireanneh Wow..you look great: strong and healthy. Well done!
@claireanneh Oh my god, that bit about the sausage jeans and marshmallow/feeling like you're on your period is me right now. I've been so discouraged thinking I need to cut back calories a bunch or something. Today YOU are my inspiration to keep going!

@sammac I think that's the main reason people quit. And I tell people that all the time, its gonna suck. Really, it feels gross. But you know whats better than that? Its walking down the street in a pair of shorts and not feeling your quads jiggle and thighs rub together. It's the sense of accomplishment reracking that barbell after a heavy set. It's changing from going to the gym and dreading it to going to the gym because you feel like crap and need a pick me up.
Thank you for letting me be your inspiration!

@claireanneh ugh I am in a major fat sausage mega quads state at the moment. damned roller derby..it's good but I need to lose the fat because my clothes don't fit any more!
@claireanneh I love that you are a shining example of a girl who EATS and looks amazing.
Keep up the good work!

@claireanneh What routine, diet, or plan did you start with and are you on now? This is amazing progress. I work out hard and eat well and I wish I could look like this.
@claireanneh Not to be rude, but how did you manage to keep your boobs after losing all that fat?

@claireanneh You look great!
@claireanneh Not sure if I just didn't see it, but did you say whether you cut back on calories at all? Or was it just you changed what you were eating in addition to beginning lifting? I'm about similar to your starting weight and am the same height, so you're definitely an inspiration!
Awesome work!
Awesome work!

@diamndiva No cutting back, I had to add more to add muscle 
@claireanneh Out of curiosity... did you begin your workouts with the leangains style or did you "bulk" at first and then switch to LG?
I'm currently doing kind of LG, I don't really pay attention to when I eat so sometimes I break the fasting and sometimes I don't. But I just eat more on lifting days and less on rest days, with more carbs on lifting.
