Of confidence, that is.

A: 26 yrs
H: 5'8"
SW: 206.0 lbs
CW: 197.3 lbs
GW: 135.0 lbs

Before I started on my weight loss journey (including the nearly 2 years I was on and off the wagon with no success) I avoided cameras like the plague. If someone did manage to capture me, I almost never faced the camera. I had no confidence.

I've been going steady (or as steady as you can get with 2 kids, in the winter, and more excuses than Congress) for almost a month now and I'm down nearly 9 lbs. 9 lbs is only a fraction of what I hope to lose, but my confidence level is so much higher than it used to be. I wear the same size clothes. No one has said I look smaller or even noticed I've lost any weight...but I notice.

(See my new profile picture, for some reason it won't transfer from PhotoBucket. LOL)

Before: March After: April

    Wow! I can't believe no one has noticed that you've lost weight. You definitely look thinner!!! Plus, 9 pounds in one month is AWESOME!!! I just started yesterday, so I have a l o n g way to go, but it helps to see other's success. Keep it up. You can do it!

    Thank you! I have to be a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding in a little over 10 weeks. I'm trying to lose 22 lbs for her wedding. I'm already down 2 dress sizes from an 18 to a 14!
