Getting Closer

I often like to have fun and joke around on the forums, but I have been working hard to lose weight. I didn't have much to lose when I started and I haven't lost much along the way. I have seen a huge difference in my body though. For example, The photo on the right was a size 14. In the dress I'm a size 8. According to my ticker I have lost 3lbs, but it's closer to 9 (I need to get that fized!) Subtle changes, my shoe size has gone down. I know that sounds crazy but My feet have shrunk. My glasses slide off my face. I don't get tired doing cardio as easily as I used to. I am becoming more confident. I am trying to remember that it's not always weight that matters. I started at 169. I haven't dropped below 160 yet, but I am happy with where things are going.
I don't know if I will ever reach my goal weight, but I am happy with the changes so far. 9lbs doesn't seem like a lot but when I see these pictures next to each other, I can tell! The biggest change I made was adding weights into my routine. I didn't make any resolutions this year as far as fitness goes. I just plan to keep at it with support from my awesome friends!

    WOW!! You look like you dropped 25 pounds from one pic to the other and it was only 9. That is so amazing! You look fantastic! :drinker:

    Thanks! And yes, it does look like I dropped a lot more. I should have measured inches when I first started, but for some reason I just didn't. I honeslty think that if I had paid more attention to inches lost rather than pounds lost, this wouldn't be so frustrating. However, I am starting to see results and they are pretty fantastic!
