Sometimes I get discouraged because I'm not dropping weight as quickly as I think I should be, or because I don't see drastic changes overnight...then I look at before pictures and I realize that I'm really proud of how far I've come!! I'm turning 30 in two weeks time. Lately I've been having those thoughts that apparently most people have when it's time to turn 30...about how it's such a huge milestone, leaving your 20's behind, blah blah blah. But looking at this photo, of me when I was 28, I say bring on 30!! I'm a different person than I was at this time last year. A healthier, happier person. And God willing, it's only going to get better, and that adorable little boy in the picture can grow up with a healthy Mommy who can actually keep up with him!

    That's wonderful! Don't let those thoughts get the better of you. Happy Birthday for 30! Its only a number honey its how you feel believe me I'm 56 and I wish I was down 50lbs. Just found this site this morning its great. I have been dieting for a month lost 4kgs then over the weekend gave my grandson a big christening party. I had a couple of bits of cake last 2 days and some party pies for dinner yesterday and found I have put almost 2kgs back on!!!! Man! I will look to you and others like you on this site for inspiration.
    Your a beautiful woman and your son is so cute. How long have you been eating healthily?

    Thank you so much! It means so much to get support from you guys, you will love this site and all of the great encouragement you get from this community. I've been eating better and being more active since June of last year. Most of my weight came off between June and December. I've slowed down a lot since December, but I'm still working on losing. Welcome!

    Great job!!, i've been there before after i had my 2nd child i lost a significant amount of weight and i remember feeling exactly this way as well. I think it is fantastic that you are looking at your older photos, because a lot of times we can't see ourselves the way we really are when we look into the mirror. But it's so different when we look at the photos......keep it up and remember that faster isn't always better :flowerforyou:
