    You can definitely see the difference. I have been in your position many times myself. I started this journey at 272 in Febraury of 2007. I am just now at 193.9. It takes time and seeing the photos will help.

    I think you look FANTASTIC!! :flowerforyou:

    keep it up and remind yourself of all of the reasons you're doing this... I have to constantly remind myself that I'm worth it to live longer and be healthier and stronger...I started the beginning of this year, lost 32lbs in 4 months, was on a ROLL... then, my mom passed away... I've been trying and trying to get back into it... it's not easy, but you have all of us here for motivation and strength. I'm having to remind myself of that too..

    KEEP IT UP GIRL! AND KEEP YOUR HEAD HIGH!! :heart:

    YOU LOOK SO GREAT! Just think what you are not only going to look like in the next 3 months, but how you are going to FEEL!!!!!! You can totally do this! Keep at it! Don't give up on yourself! You have come this far on your own! What a great accomplishment!

    you look wonderful . I get discouraged too. Lot's of things help (but not overeating!). One of my favorite sayings: inch by inch life's a cinch....yard by yard life is hard (or another one......just for today I will stick to my food and exercise plan and not worry about tomorrow). Also it helps to remember that for each pound I lose it takes 3 pounds of impact off of my arthritic knee -- so my 48 pounds is really 144 pounds off of my painful knee! Hope that helps. -- (also, non food treats (like a bubble bath) are great when I get discouraged.

    Why do you think you're feeling discouraged? Is it because you are "missing" the foods you used to eat or the amount you used to eat? If those thoughts come in your mind, try to focus on the weight you've lost. 46 lbs in 3 months is AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing your success, maybe it'll spur someone else (me) on. Stick with it. Switch up what you're eating if you're used to eating the same things.

    You're doing wonderfully!
    Sometimes we need a break. Some people suggest eating at maintenance for awhile occasionally. If you aren't motivated to keep going, can you at least stay at maintenance for a bit? Let your body get used to its new, lower weight, catch your breath and then when you're ready continue on.
    Know that we all have good and bad times. It's important to not always expect everything to go smoothly.
