Hey all, this is my first time posting progress pics here but having shared some on my instagram fitness account I figured it was time to share here as well. The first pic is of me around in July of this year and the second in November (sorry haven't taken a more recent one yet). According to the scale I've only lost 5lbs during that time (thanks to all the strentgh training/weights I like to do), I use to let the scale discourage me until I started taking progress pics and realized I actually was getting results! I'm still a major work in progress but I'm finally starting to feel good about my self.Just wanted to share and say don't let the scale get you down! ![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Me around June of this year

Wow! That's impressive. What a difference ! I'm just starting again having put 7 lbs on to an already overweight body following a cruise. We've booked for 2013 and I want to be at least 3 stone lighter by nov.0

Perfect timing, needed to see something along this line, starting weight training and needed assurance0

That's all that matters. You look fantanbulous! You are going to rock the New Year!0 -
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!!!
This is a wonderful example of what strength training can do. Also, a phenomenal example of why you shouldn't gauge your progress based on the number on the scale.
You look FAB! Keep up the amazing work!0 -
:flowerforyou: You do INDEED Look Fabulous and it is Encouraging that the Strength / Weight Training may have contributed to the "Lack of Progress" on the Scale. My weight has crept up slightly in the past 2 weeks and I am hoping that it is because I have changed my Weight Training a lot.
Thank You for posting this!!
