Few extra pictures to show muscle tone and definition: week 8

Week 4

**I can not figure out how to make the post like the edited view I see. Sorry for how spaced out this is. Also the coloring of the pictures are due the type of lighting. I took the lighter pictures in natural light and the darker picture in artificial light.

There isn't a lot of change from week 4 to week 8, however I am much more toner and my muscles are more defined. I fit way better in all my clothes. Notice no muffin top on pants anymore. :-)

I didn't get rid of a lot of clothes that I like because every year I tell myself I am going to fit into them. I love what Transitions Lifestyle system is doing for me!!!
