Don't Give Up

I had an icky moment of feeling frustrated this morning because in my feed virtually everyone was posting a loss .. I've gained 14 pounds since July, have lost several inches and am wearing a smaller size ... my point being (and I've said this time and time again and maybe I keep posting about it because one day I will actually believe it) that the scale is not a great way to determine progress. The difference in the below pictures is about 40 pounds ... I would love to lose another 20 and get below 200 pounds but I'm not sure that that will happen. I started lifting weights a few months ago and as long as the inches keep coming off ... everything's cool. When you get down on yourself .. go grab a few old pictures and see how far you've really come ...

That really is amazing! I had never seen before pics of you. You look completely different now. You really should be extremely proud of what you have accomplished. You look great!

Jan 2012 looks good! We all have out ups/downs literally. You'll reach your goals.

Thanks for the reminder! I've got a couple of pics of me from about 18 mos ago (way before MFP) and I HATE them. It doesn't help that they're around my sister's wedding, so I can't exactly burn them But, they are a really good reminder of how far I've come since last April if I'm having a bad day.

BTW - keep up the awesome work. You're doing great!
