WOW!!! This pic just brought me to tears BEFORE & AFTER

mshoneysmile7

WOW!!! This pic just brought me to tears :sad: ..... I was getting so frustrated and discouraged because I have been eating clean and working out for MONTHS and have only lost 5 stinking pounds :mad: ... Even the fact that I use to wear a size 2XL shirt and I just bought a Juniors XL shirt Saturday didn't help with the improvement of my self esteem. It wasn't until I did the pic stitch that I've noticed how much I've really lost. I am SOOOOOO happy IDK what to do with myself:bigsmile: .... I still have a long way to go, but I am happy that I can SEE that my hard work is not just a waste of time... The pic on the left is from mid June... The pic on the right is from today 7/31/12 ... Still only 5 lbs lost but it's clear the fat is melting away...

:glasses: Failure is NOT an option! :bigsmile:

rpantusa

thats because when your working out u can't always trust the scale. While ur working out...your burning fat AND building muscle...muscle is more dense...so, you're getting smaller but the scale doesn't tell you that...great job btw...keeping pushing and keep working.

you're doing excellent and I'm proud.:bigsmile:

TheNewo

amazing job!!! You've clearly built some muscle mass while shedding fat; I'm willing to bet that you'll start losing a lot more weight now that your metabolism has increased. Congrats on not being held back by what the scale says: it's all about consistency! I can relate to slow going, but just keep working -you're doing fantastic :flowerforyou:

Penelope2Plyr

Very big difference in the two pics! Looks much more than 5 pounds, but regardless, WTG! You are doing super! Keep up the good work.

MissNations

alostkookie

mshoneysmile7

waffleflavoredtea

You are AMAZING!!! Throw out that damn scale and start using your tape measure, because you have lost SO much fat and inches, you look gorgeous!

Your skin actually glows now too - it's amazing what clean eating and exercise does!

glittermouse

YES! You are doin' it, lady! Great work! I know it can be so discouraging when the scale doesn't move, but CLEARLY you have been workin' it!
Keep going!!!

mshoneysmile7

Goodness everyone! Im too emotional for this LOL! Thank you all for your kind words! I was really in the dumps about my journey! I am so glad that I can count on the MFP community to help me with encouragement and I will do my all to return the motivation. We have to stick together to stay around :bigsmile:

slimmimi81

You're doing great!

newmrsdec10

You are looking amazing! I completely understand your feelings and had a post similar to this one talking about how I would have quit if it had not been for pictures. I recommend that everyone take pics! Even if you've already started, even if you hate how you look in them (especially if you hate it, ha), DO IT! My profile pic is a 4 lb difference that I was letting (and still let) frustrate me.

The scale does not tell the whole story!

I am also on Instagram! Love the fitness community on there. I'm going to follow your journey; please follow back: @csuperstar02

Keep up the good work!

YasJas2011
