I've been taking pictures on the first of every month, and I definitely see a difference. But this morning, I put on a shirt I hadn't worn in a while, and I noticed it was very loose---especially across the chest. I was pretty sure I had a picture in that shirt. I dug around on Facebook and found it. Then I had my husband take a picture of me today. Turns out I'm wearing the same jeans too. I was shocked when I put them side by side. I kept going back and looking at them!!

The first picture was taken in August 2011. The second today. I started my healthy lifestyle on January 1st. I'm down about 31 pounds.

SW: 306
CW: 275
GW: 150ish

Program: Walking (about 120 miles since first of the year). C25K (almost done!! 2 more runs). Zumba when I can. Log everything I put in my mouth. Stay within my goals.

    Congratulatins! You look great. Congratulations also on your C25K accomplishment so far. I just finished week 3 and I'm completely intimidated at the thought of Week 4

    LoL....every day! The town has a lot of alien themed stuff. We moved here almost 10 years ago from California. We've discovered there are 3 kinds of people here:

    1. True believers (either they or someone they know was abducted).
    2. Head in the sand (We don't speak of these things)
    3. Whatever! It brings tourist $$ here!!

    We fall into the #3.
    My first 5K will be the Alien Chase during the UFO Festival (July). Some people run in costume! :)

    Congrats! I see a big difference. Keep up the good work.

    I have lost about the same amount of weight and I don't really see a difference, even when I do side by side pic comparisons.
