Well I must say that this post is to motivate others, but also to motivate myself. I originally started my weight loss on January 16th 2013. I had the plan to lose 22 lbs by my 22nd birthday which is may 24th. Sadly I am 3 days away and I did not reach my first goal. Today I got down on myself about it, but as I was putting on my workout clothes that I wore on my first workout, I thought, "hey why don't I take pictures and compare from when I started!" so that's what I am about to show you guys. I can tell that this outfit fits a bit better now but I still don't think I look great in it. I definitely have more work to do and this picture both showed me that I've done a great job so far but I still need to work hard to reach my goal.
I'm down 17 lbs since January 16th. It's been a slow race but im getting there! My next goal is to be down 11 lbs (total 28.5 lbs half way mark) by September 1st! I need to push myself, but I know I'll reach my goal eventually!

    Your 17lb difference is WAY more noticeable than mine! You go!!! Don't let a little disappointment set you back. You will make your goal, just maybe not as soon as you wanted.
