Even 17 pounds makes a small difference

michelleinpa

Because I was feeling a bit down with the amount of weight I lost in the past few weeks (17 pounds since 8/25/10) - I decided to look at a picture from when I started at the end of Aug and one today - I can actually see a difference. It has def.helped renew my confidence and determination. As painful as pictures can sometimes be, I think they were a valuable tool for me.

The week before I started 8/2010 and today

I can see it and 17 pounds makes a big difference. Stack up 17 pound boxes of butter next time you are at the grocery store and see for yourself. Great job!

Wow! You look great! I too lost 17 pounds to this point (7 with MFP). I know it makes a difference because my jeans are getting loose, especially around my waist and my rear end. I can't wait to buy a size 14 jean instead of a 16. Keep up the great work! :flowerforyou:

I have lost 17 also. Reading your story helps me to stay on track. I love this web site. I have been watching the numbers go down on the scales, sonething that has not happened in years, but I am having a hard time seeing them gone on my body. I have a long way to go. Keep up the great work. You look wonderful. I can sure see those pounds have left you.

Big difference, great job. I like the neckline on the second shirt. Very pretty.

8.5 lbs a month is pretty good. It adds up pretty fast. Just think...... 8.5 lbs times 10 months is about 85 lbs! That is ALOT!!!

WOW! YOU LOOK AMAZING!!! That is no small difference! You should be proud of what you have achieved! Anyways, it is healthier to lose weight slower than it is to lose it fast. 1-2lbs a week is a great loss and you are right on track with that! Keep up the good work!
