Four years ago and now. I only weigh a few pounds less now but I do a lot of strength training and have more muscle and less fat. Girls (and guys), don't be afraid to put on muscle and don't pay too much attention to the number on the scale.
Nickthegoof
I think the after one should be in the batgirl one ya know cause you're stronger (I assume ) in the after ones

TAPE MEASURE > SCALE

Squats, deadlift, and presses. Rock those compound lifts.

Also, side note: LOVE the new hairdo. And the new confident posture is very sexy.
ajoslo
Thank you :-)
Eldude3513
You look great in both pics, this is the same thing my wife went through. Muscle mass every time
TheRealPondo
More Muscle, Same Weight, Still HOT!!!
JessWebb
Something I really struggle with is those numbers! Thanks OP- you're an inspiration.
ajoslo
Thanks that means a lot. :-)
Dumbladorable
Good for you
HungryPumpkn
Nobody else saying it? Alright, congrats on keeping the boobs!
ajoslo
The secret is bigger pecs. ;-)
randomweirdness
would tap either way
Playswithtiddies
Double tap?
whooshby
Has your calorie intake changed? Are you more hungry, needing to feed the muscle?
ajoslo
Definitely hungrier. I eat way more than before and am still losing fat. It's awesome.

Haha thanks ^_^

My mother and I are the same weight, but she's a size 14 and I'm a size 4, absolutely crazy what muscle does
olganunes
Thank you. This is crazy helpful. I started putting in tons of muscle but losing no weight and was getting discouraged by that path. Thanks!
dangerkitty
Yup! Muscle is denser than fat (about 18%) so you could be smaller but still weigh the same. It sounds like you're doing great!
olganunes
I've never actually seen a percentage-- neat! And thanks. :)
dangerkitty
You're welcome :)

@OP You look beautiful in all of them though you do like a bit sad in the recent ones. If you need to talk message me.
ajoslo
Thanks but I'm like 1000x happier in the recent ones. But also like 20x more exhausted because I have a toddler now. :-P
kingbrujah
fun. My first just got out of the toddler phase and my youngest just hit it... Glad you're happy though.

OP is highly attractive

Absolutely beautiful. Way to go!
ajoslo
Thanks!
Melondwarf
Well done OP, great thing about losing fat and gaining muscle is you can eat more without putting it back on! (within reason people)
Sp00ks13
I had a month if eating Ice cream and cookies...only gained 2lbs. Yay strength training.
ajoslo
Definitely! I love food.

Cheers! I work out to drink beer.
Melondwarf
Hey don't worry round is a shape too! keep at it
ajoslo
Same
StonesOnTheHill
Best way to burn more fuel is to get a larger engine.
Melondwarf
Or a poorly optimised one, thats not recommended tho
HatsAreEssential
Wouldn't optimization be your metabolism? And... Don't you have zero control over that?
MasonBrott
Not necessarily there are ways you can boost your metabolism
Icecold11111
Eating many small meals each day, instead of 2 or 3 big ones will speed up your metabolism.
windmillwindmill
So uhm, like, you want to go catch a comic-con or something?
Argofuckyourself
You can REALLY tell around your face, awesome job
IndecisiveSlacker
Can't say the same for your cat tho
ajoslo
Haha Wookiee the Hutt stays big to intimidate her enemies.
Ryanxiety
This is really good advice for those who quit working out because the numbers on a scale seem discouraging.
Protean2648
Recently heard this weird advice that girls who want to lose weight should bulk up first. Increase muscle mass = more calories for eating
Protean2648
-> healthy later
Shinotsa
Yup! I've been working out with weights and the scale has been demoralizingt. My muscles in the mirror, however, have been supportive
Surrealle
I gain weight when I work out, and my clothes don't fit well anymore v_v it sucks
qussow
Currently in the same situation. It's just a little frustrating.
INeedAHotChocolate
Muscle weighs around twice that of fat. Aslong as your measurments decrease you are getting healthier (unless you are below healthy range).
alcogod
Is this true? I know muscle weighs more than fat but i didnt know it was twice as much.
INeedAHotChocolate
Not sure of exact ratio... just googled Muscle vrs Fat weight and there was a pic of 5lb of each and it looks like theres twice the fat.
IAmTheHaHa
You are looking GREAT! OP. Good job. IMO you look great in both the before and the After :-)
ajoslo
Thanks :-)
misterbelle
cute either way.
SoaringMuse
Agreed, but she looks better now IMO. Be happy for her, she's proud of her accomplishments!

Amkzul
Good job! you should be very proud and be sure to buy a new batman shirt.
ajoslo
Still have that one! Plus another one. Oh and one with Batman with sexy Ivy and Catwoman. :-)
Amkzul
Awesome! wait is batman being molested by them on said shirt?
ajoslo
Kind of? He's tied up with vines. It was from hot topic.
Amkzul
Ahh, *"poor"* batman. Been a lot of years since I set foot in a hot topic so I am a tad unfamiliar with the shirt :(.

TysoniusMaximusThePatronSaintofOffBrandBreakfastCereals

ajoslo
Plot twist: I'm actually the mugger. I lure you into a false sense of security with the bat symbol and then I strike. :-P

ajoslo
Thank you! :-)
TysoniusMaximusThePatronSaintofOffBrandBreakfastCereals
Maybe this will inspire me to get fit....*looks over at pizza* maybe
ajoslo
Shit, pizza's my weakness. I work out so I can eat more pizza.
