I've been drinking water like a champ for the past 2 weeks and last night I went to my moms house and she took pictures and for the first time in a long time she took a close up picture of me and there was no double Chin Action goin on =) So this morning when I did my weekly weigh-in and didnt lose anything even though I was sad I remembered that picture from last night and it kept me happy and more motivated for next weeks weigh in =)

    YAY! Even though the scale doesn't always show it, it's nice to know that you are making progress! :)

    When all my efforts seem so extremely minute when I step on the scale... these victories are so important.

    I have to be in front of a camera for work more often than I'd like, I'm afraid! Whether it's at an event, or receiving a cheque from a donor, there's the evil camera. Since I adjusted my lifestyle 6 weeks ago, I'm not as apprehensive about the flash. In fact, I have a shoot this coming Wednesday, and I thought to myself... "Awesome! I'll have a picture to compare to a month from now".

    I also take my measurements every week, and diarize them... the scale's reports might by slow and steady, but those inches are melting away!
