Small Success, BIG Motivation!

I decided to post this under the "Motivation" Board, as opposed to the "Success Stories" Board, because it's not so much a success as just a small step in the right direction. Still though, I was incredibly proud of myself, as I've fallen off the wagon I don't know how many times, and with having only ~15 pounds to lose, and focusing primarily on muscle gains over weight loss, it's been a tough time seeing results, on or off scale...

Unfortunately I've lost a lot of photos, so the closest thing I was able to find to a "before" body shot, was this photo from the beginning of October last year...



It's not entirely accurate, because that's my boyfriend's shirt, and it was windy. But, you get the idea (kind of)

This, however, was taken yesterday right before my workout.



Repping that new gear!

So all in all, there's maybe a 10 pound and 2 inch difference here between my "Before" and "Now" photo. But it's so great to see a NSV-- (okay, well the BMI and BF% were from the scale, but still)! Small steps lead to big changes, and I'm excited to have finally gotten over the plateu to a point where I'm rolling towards some REAL change!

Would love to see other peoples "In Progress" photos, no matter what your goal! It always feels good to brag a little, especially when you know you deserve it (and you know you do!)

Stay Strong!
