Fantastic! There's an obvious improvement on your torso and your bum. Keep up the good work!

10lbs down is great to be able to say- but don't get too caught up in the scale. Keep taking photos and measurements as they're a much better indicator of progress.

I know!! That's the hardest part. That's why I've taken weekly pictures. They make me SEE the differences even if the scale isn't dropping the way I'd want it to

Thank you so much for the kind words, everyone. It boosts the ego and motivation when the change just isn't in your head, but in your body and others can see it too!!

I also wanted to post this in hopes of those people that have been at it a month or two don't give up. There ARE changes going on in your body. I don't want to be just another person that drops off after a month of tracking. I'm in this for the long haul and I WILL reach my goals!

CONGRATS to you for losing the weight and also for your emotional wellbeing achievements! I've experienced similar improvements in my personal relationships as well, as I become healthier and happier! You're very inspirational!

I've had a long history of depression and self-image issues. I finally made the decision on December 30th, after a particularly hard year, to make a change in my life. And it has been an amazing change! I no longer feel depressed (though I do have my off days) and I am much more confident. My relationship with my husband (of 10 years this June) is better than I think it has EVER been.

Now I'm in my 8th week of tracking calories and exercising 5-6 times a week. I have to admit, I'm thrilled with the results when I see them in this photo.

I know I'm in no success category as some around here (love looking at those posts BTW), but I'm proud of my accomplishments. No magic pills, no shake mess, no substitutions. Just good old fashioned hard work and effort. I still have a long way to go, but I know that if I keep at what I'm doing I WILL succeed.

Thanks for letting me share

Good for you and Amen to good old fashioned hard work!

Fantastic! Just goes to show the numbers don't always represent the results, I would never have guessed just a 10lb difference. Thanks for posting much needed inspiration

You made my day. I LOVE seeing the pictures of obese people who are now crazy fit BUT this, to me, is even better.

Your ten pounds seriously changed your entire body. It's incredible. I keep thinking "ugh ten pounds won't get me anywhere" but I can see it totally will!!

Thank you for sharing. Keep it up
