In January I started Project Me and set a Birthday Goal to rock a bikini on my birthday. I’m beyond thrilled that I stayed committed and entered my 40’s more fit than my 30’s … and even my 20’s.
Here are my pics and stats:
My BEFORE Stats, 1/1/2011
Height: 5’11
Weight: 195.5
Arm: 13 inches
Chest: 40 inches
Waist: 35 inches
Stomach: 39 & ½ inches
Hips: 44 inches
Thigh: 24 & ½ inches
My AFTER Stats, 4/28/2011
Height: 5’11
Weight: 170.5
Arm: 12 inches
Chest: 36 inches
Waist: 31 inches
Stomach: 35 inches
Hips: 40 inches
Thigh: 23 inches
While I’m celebrating my accomplishments, I really shouldn’t call this an “AFTER” picture because Project Me is not over. My body still has some work left to do. I feel another goal coming on. I’m motivated to continue my quest to be healthy and happy and there’s nothing like a looming deadline to keep your ass you moving.
Hmm, I think that bikini would look even better with a six-pack …
Winks & Smiles,

So AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If/when you have time…I'd love to read a recap of what you did specifically (eating & exercise). I've changed my eating habits about 50% of the way but need some ideas of what to eat (and what not to eat) and advice on an exercise routine.
