    ...and I know that I will have the BeachBody that I am so looking for! It looks like more then 40 lbs to me but, I also know that under the rest of that insulation, I am building muscle because of Chalene!!!

    WE GOT THIS!!! We just have to keep trudging!!! Extra work now means less work later!! :-)


    AMAZING! and mine is all because of Chalene too! Love her!

    Excellent progress! Your story is a great reminder that taking photos is really important. You may not ever share them with anybody else, but you can look and see better than "feel" the difference.

    This is so true! I am that girl who made it impossible to tag me in pics on Facebook because of pictures that I was so embarrassed of. Still not totally comfy but I am getting there!

    great job! keep up the hard work! i agree...since we look at ourselves every day, we often don't notice the gradual changes. i often still see myself as i did when i first started. just know that you are looking great & well on your way to much more success!!!

    I so understand this, I have lost 116 lbs but still have a long way to go. Saw some side by side pics from this past Christmas and a year ago and said, "wow, I'm still fat" And I am but it is getting better everyday. You are doing an awesome job! Keep up the great work.

    You've done great and it really shows in the before and after. Some posters on here suggested finding something that weighs the amount you lost and that gives you a different appreciation and perspective! I have a darling beagle and I figured I've "lost" her twice! So when I pick her up, I realize...wow, I've lost a lot! And to think, I was carrying all that around all the time!

    Awesome work!
    I'm at 25 down out of about 150 total. It's hard to see how much is ahead, but I just keep looking at where I came from. Just one step at a time!

    Fantastic! That's a lot of work, takes a while for mental to catch up w/physical. Keep going!

    You don't see it because you see yourself every day. Others see the difference right away - and it's a big change! I've lost 20 pounds and have another 50 to go. If I thought about that often, I would get discouraged. So I don't. I have a calander with a weekly weigh in goal and I focus on doing everything I can to hit next week's number. The pounds lost will add up on their own. Great job!!
