What a change in 6 months!

DH took some pictures of me when I first started trying to lose weight. We decided we were going to look at some of those pictures last night and WOW, what a change. DH said "please don't stop going to the gym". I knew my cloths were getting bigger but until I looked at those pictures, I didn't relize how much my body has changed.

I also had an instucter at the Y today tell me I looked skinny, I haven't heard that in years. I was a little shocked at first, I went into the hall, came back to the class and told her she made my day. That made me work out just a little bit harder today.

This helped alot since I am just 2 1/2 pounds shy of my goal weight and I was ready to give up on that because the scale isn't moving. Then I have to remind myself that the scale doesn't matter, it's what you see in the mirror and what other people see that matters.

Congratulations..that must have been a great feeling. I can't wait for another month or two..hopefully people will notice that I look different too! You look at yourself all the time so you think you're not making progress...it's good to get positive reinforcement from others!

How nice to get comments like these!! You've been working hard and sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day routine and not realize how far you've come!

Congratulations!!

Would love for you to post some of those before and now pixs. That is always such a inspiration to me! Bet your DH is really smiling

Hang in there those last couple will just "melt" off when you least expect it and you are SO RIGHT it is the overall and not some number on a scale

Good up the good work!
