I took my before pictures for NROLFW and it instantly changed my perky and happy mood yesterday to being upset. Now I am in a ****ty mood about everything and feeling like this journey is going to take forever. All I can do is continue on and hope that results start to show eventually.

I'm sorry. I'ts hard to see progress now, but in just a few months you are going to feel and look so much better. I admire you for having the guts to take those pictures, I've been avoiding it myself. I know I'll want the "before" pictures when I'm an "after" but I just don't want to see it now. We are always our own worst critic. Is today your lifting day? I'll bet you'll feel better after. My legs are still singing from my session yesterday. You'll get there, not quickly, but in a healthy and strong way!0

The best things come to those who wait, you'll get there eventually, trust me! Pay attention to the little changes you see in your body, like maybe in your recent workouts you've felt a little stronger? Or noticed a little more definition that you wouldn't even see in a photo? These little improvements make all the difference,focus on the workouts and you won't even notice the time that's gone by, and one day you'll catch yourself in the mirror and think, wow, where did that come from?0

sorry you're feeling low.
i just rememberd this morning that i needed to take my before pics too. i'm gonna let the water retention go down from my workout yesterday and take them this weekend. my legs looked seriously huge last night. and my neck/shoulders FEEL seriously huge today....OUCH!!!
perk up!! slow progress and is more permanent progress. you will see it soon enough if you keep doing the right things.0 -

I love this comment! And wih today's workout at the gym I experienced the "I felt a little stronger" part with doing my barbell squats! I loved it and was surprised at how much easier it suddenly felt.
Hang in there, I'm sure you will see some seriously good results in a few short weeks!0 -
Thanks everyone! I am hoping that after lifting today I'll feel perkier! I always feel MUCH better after a workout! Thanks for the encouraging words. It's just so hard. I won't have to take those pictures again for another month when I compare them. So hopefully there will be some differences by that point. We'll see!0

I get what you mean 100%. I've been gaining weight and I feel like my stomach is huge. On the other hand I am getting stronger so I know the lifting is working but come on...I want to see the progress in my body. Hang in there.0
