I have only lost 22lbs so far, but I have taken this as a lifestyle change, so still allowing myself treats every now and again.. but now I can actually see a bit of a difference I am going to step up the game for sure!!!

Its true photos REALLY do help! its the only way I can see how things are going for me anyway..

Jan.. roughly 225lbs

That is a pretty dramatic change already! 22lb is a fabulous achievement can't wait to see you in another 20lb!

I think you look great, CJ! Your face shows quite a difference already at 22 pounds lost. It seems like my face is the last place to show it! lol

DEFINITE difference! You've done a great job. And I agree, it has to be a lifestyle change, not just a diet. This philosophy is that ONLY thing that has ever worked for me. Thank you for sharing. It's inspirational!

"Only" 22 pound loss? I think it is a spectacular achievement! It's a net calories burn of 77,000 calories! Wow!

Or over 1 1/2 stones!!!!

Definitely don't put yourself down! I am losing "slower" as well - about 6 pounds a month - and it can be tough when it stops/starts and the weight doesn't come off as quickly as we would like but the fact is we are making changes. I haven't sat down with a pint of ice cream and polished it off in at least 6 months! Big win for me. You look great. Keep up the awesome work.

Great job! Don't beat yourself up. Slow is a good thing. Slowly losing weight has a greater chance of keeping it off. Wtg!

Your Topics caught my eye cause I too have been at this since Jan and only lost about 20 pounds. It's very true that it's a lifestyle change so have patience and keep on keeping on..cause the alternative suck! esp after we have already lost this much! Could you imagine being 20 pounds heavier again?

Great job!!! Congratulations on the weight loss.
