I would have let you mow my yard with the push mower, battery died in the ride on. I'm a nice guy like that, lol

3rd pic looks good, just a bad second shot

Good luck, you're at a good starting point. All thats left to do now is grind away.

Thanks everyone for the support! It means a lot =)

Nothing wrong at all with thick thighs Congrats on making the decision to do this, lots of support here........ and plenty of yards to mow too!

good news is peoples appreciation for a large round booty has grown expotentially in recent yrs. i don't think cutting out weights such as squats, lunges, leg curls, and calf rises is a good idea. keeping reps in the 15-20 range will add muscle and give you a shape most women would kill for. plus, more muscle means more calories burned while at rest. considering we are at rest far more than we are moving would be huge plus. many women make the mistake of cardio only for the lower body and wonder why fat loss is such a struggle. and remember, the goal is really fat loss so don't just measure your weight loss.

Yep! Haha very true

So if I wanted to continue this sort of thing in a fitness log/journal style of posting, should I continue it here or post it in the "member online journals" place?

You can start a journal or I can move this to the log section for a fee, just let me know which you prefer.

Curious, how tall are you? The last picture, you don't look disproportionate at all. Second picture there is some obvious quad musculature there, so I think you have a good base. You already know what you need to do.
Welcome

Scratch that -- I just got physically measured again today for next season... According to the doctor I'm actually only 5'9.5 -- 5'10 at most... this whole time we've thought I was 5'11 based off of our measurements at home.... but my dad's way taller than me so the angle of his marks must have skewed the measurement.

Now I'm sad that I'm not as tall as I thought

Last pic you look very tall, maybe the boots. Which pic is closer to where you are today?

 

[BrynnCKr]

The second one! It was during our championship, so it was like 1.5 months ago

Welcome to the Den. I have always told women I train that building muscle burns bodyfat at a faster rate than cardio alone. I would recommend a bodybuilder style training regimine (geared toward muscle hypertrophy) alongside fasted cardio.
(For what it's worth you look great as is though).
