The new and improved RedPanda!

You know how photos don't always match the image you have of yourself? Since I started kettlebell training in mid-2011, I thought I had leaned out a bit, and here's the proof. My weight is about the same in the first two photos.

The difference isn't dramatic, but it's noticeable from my official "after" picture, taken two years ago.

And just to put these pix in context, here's my official "before" picture, taken in 2001.

Congratulations - I can definitely see the difference! You look very lean now.

(btw: I think you are beautiful in all of your pictures.)

Thanks Lori! And "very lean" is music to my ears (sniff!)

You do look very lean - and like you could kick some butt! Very athletic! Congratulations - that is fantastic!

Congratulations!! Yes, you look leaner and can kick some butt. But I know that from your boxing threads too.

It's always fun to put a face with the name. You look amazing!

You look wonderful, Susan! You looked great in the picture 2 years ago, but now you do look leaner and firmer. Congratulations! Well done.

Congrats, you rock!

I am hoping for similar results from P90X (when I get up the courage to start it!)
