Stay with the fight, even if the scale doesn't move...Pic

Okay, so I sneak out here periodically to post a few before/after pics of myself to remind ME of how far I've come. I've been stuck at this weight now for about 6 months. I know I have more to drop, but I have yet to figure out the magic formula. So I'm concentrating on the OTHER changes I'm making. I AM stronger. I AM faster. I AM happier in my own skin than I've been in 20 years. And now, I AM seeing that I have MUSCLES! Not huge, but definitely there. This is quite embarrassing to post, because all of my flaws are just hanging out for everyone to see, and I know one is a front shot, the the other is the back, but the back is where I'm noticing the changes. My message to MYSELF and to anyone else struggling with not watching the pounds come off...being able to lose enough fat and gain enough muscle that you can SEE the difference is an awesome feeling! Yeah, it takes longer to see that than it does to see the number slip down on the scale, but that makes it all the more rewarding!
So here goes nothin'...Top pic was my before from when I started this journey in January of 2012, bottom was yesterday. I know it's not a ton of progress, but this is without any heavy lifting. I'm currently doing Les Mills Combat, and I LOVE it! It truly is changing my body, even if it's little by little.
