Double Chin - Almost Gone
I've lost 53 lbs and though I don't see much change in my body I can really tell a difference in my face. I know I have a LONG way to go still, but when I look at how far I've come it helps to keep me going! :D I'm looking forward to my body changing as much as my face has! Soon I hope the double chin disappears completely!

New Jeans - very excited

It's not a huge succes, but I have lost 2 inches around my waist so far, and starting to lose on my legs too.
