A couple of days ago I posted a few pics of myself to see if anyone could see the difference. I was discouraged because I wasn't feeling like I was making any huge strides in my weight loss and over the past 7 months, I've only lost 5 lbs.

Well a lot of you really AWESOME MFPers wrote that you COULD see a difference and really pumped me up and made me feel good! I was on such a high, that the following day I was getting dressed for work and didn't even notice until the end of the day that I had put on the wrong suit pants. Pants that used to give me a HUGE muffin top and squeezed me SO TIGHT I was uncomfortable and couldn't breathe. I finally broke down and bought bigger pants about 3 weeks ago and yesterday I thought I was putting the larger ones on and I wasn't!

I'm still really far away from my goal, but I was so excited I called my boyfriend and ranted and raved about how I'd put on the wrong pants for like 20 minutes. I feel blessed to have so many supportive people in my life so thank you MFPers for my very first NSV!

    WTG! Just keep at it and you will eventually reach that goal you set. If anything, this should motivate you to keep going. Congrats!!

    Thanks! Yeah, it really does keep me motivated! It has made me view this journey more positively, too, and it's a lot more fun when I have a positive attitude. And I agree, we are more critical of ourselves than anyone else would ever be! Thanks again!
