Using Progress Pics To Get back On Track

I am now 9 weeks in and down 30 lbs. I have been slacking a little lately and was looking for some motivation to get back on track. I took a look at some older pictures on my computer and now that I've lost a few pounds, I can really see how out of shape I had let my body become.
The first two pics are from earlier this year. The second picture was cropped from a photo of me and a group of five friends. My entire body was not even in the frame. I'm not sure what was up with the funky smile other than I was probably talking in both pics as the photos were taken.
The side-by-side is from 1 1/2 weeks ago (I did post this pic on the NS boards and my profile but wanted to share again). The side-by-side head shot is a shot from early this year and one from 1 1/2 weeks ago.
The hats I wear are kind of my trademark and have been for many years. They also help protect my head from the sun (and the cold).
I can definitely see how far I've come so far but I know there is a long way to go. Not only to reach my goal but to maintain the loss. I do feel confident that I will be able to do so but I would also like to reach my goal sooner than later and will need to be a little more disciplined.

Thanks all. I just feel like I've been in a funk for a few days and want to get back to basics. It's probably just from going off program on Sunday but I really need to snap out of it.0
