I've been feeling a bit discouraged recently because I haven't lost any weight in a couple of weeks.

I decided to compare some pictures of me now (at around 243 lbs) with pictures of me from about 2 years ago (before MFP) when I was at my heaviest - just under 290 lbs.

I'm not ready to start sharing pictures of my flabby beer gut (maybe when I get closer to my goal weight) but here's a comparison of my face.

This made me feel a bit better. Like the hard work is worth it. :smile:

    Dude, you look amazing....I mean good looking before and really hot now....Awesome job..super proud of you!!!

    Also just a side bar, we all go through times in which we have a difficult time losing, that is ok, keep working at it, maybe you want to change things up, such as calorie intake, try increasing or what you macros are or your workout. You may want to tweak just a bit it may work. Just keep going and if you never give up you will never fail, so I think you are doing awesome!!! Rock on!

    WOW! I found even when I wasn't actually losing pounds, my body was moving things around a bit and I lost inches.
    Looking good! Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged. At the very least, you're eating healthy and exercising - 2 things that are great for you all the way around!

    I'll just keep plugging away and stop worrying about moving the number on the scale.

    Hey- Great job! I am just starting to loose weight.. starting out at 289.. would be great just to get down to 243.. would you have any suggestions you might beable to pass along.. Calories you started out with etc.. any help would be great
  • I bet no-one will be calling you Fat Uncle Rob soon! Keep up the good work. I can appreciate goals being in Beachbody we always set the goals and when that voice in your head tells you that you dont want to work out or you want to eat that roll you tell it to "shut up" :laugh:
