‘I don’t know why, but I can’t stop laughing when I look at these pictures – I think it’s because I have REALLY piled on the muscle… I look like freaking Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

‘Ryan [Libbey] hasn’t taken pictures of my bod and I haven’t seen angles like these in weeks (I didn’t want to be insensitive and post weekly body progress shots during this strange time), but now that the challenge has come to an end I wanted to take photos for my review.⁣⁣’

Explaining why she has decided to share her pictures, Louise said: ‘1. I am genuinely proud that I stuck to it (and I even built a butt along the way)⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

‘2. It might motivate others. I know that when I look at my fellow LLL challenge goers progress photos & when I read their comments/reviews I get a surge of motivation which makes me want to be more active, so that that might work for you too?⁣⁣⁣⁣

‘Anyway, I guess that’s mission accomplished, the last 12 1/2 weeks have been a resounding success and the best part is that i’m not alone…

‘I have lots of other women to celebrate with! The only downside is that we’re already starting to miss it!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ‘

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Louise had said ‘ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣I know that I was already in pretty decent shape at the beginning of the year, but I wanted to get back into a better routine with exercise and to push myself to achieve something greater.

‘It honestly still shocks me how to see how much can be achieved over such a short period. It’s not just the physical gains, but I feel a lot happier in myself and I think that translates into other areas of my life. 

I was in a bit of a funk at the end of 2019 (Ryan will tell you) and I think a lot of that was down to lacking perspective, purpose and structure.’
