Half way there

It's been almost a year since I started this journey. And I am half way there! I look at some of my comparison pics and it's hard to see the difference, or should I say believe the difference! Everyone else says it's noticeable, and I am sure that it is. Just funny how our minds play tricks on us. How many of you were like, me - didn't realize how much weight you've gained until you see a picture, because the reflection in the mirror never looks the same as a pic! I don't feel like my face looked that fat before, but damn let me tell you! The pics don't lie!!!

Anyway~ I am 42 in Seattle, WA. I am always looking for new friends to chat with so feel free to add me!

    Thank you! I've got a ways to go still, but I am amazed every time I look at my pic and compare to older pics. Seems very surreal.

    Comparison pics are the way to go... I'd rather look and feel better than weigh less any ways. I use to take pics once a week (called it 'Photo Fridays') but now I've started once a month.

    I'm glad that I did start taking progress pics, because if I hadn't - I would have given up in the beginning because I couldn't see a difference in the mirror. Hell I still have problems seeing a difference in the mirror! I tell everyone to take pics, as much as we might HATE seeing them, one day they'll be grateful to have them. That and measurements!!

    Thank you!! I am feeling a bit more confident and doing things I wouldn't have done before... body jewelry is one of them. A few more tattoos... LOL Trying to keep it under control...but I need to express myself.
