so, I've been struggling for a few months now and getting extremely frustrated with my progress - however, the other day I was going through my photos and found these....and maybe I'm not so much of a failure after all.

near the beginning of my journey:

I still have so much more to lose.....but I have made progress

    Look at that TINY waist! You've definitely made progress!!! I have struggled with what I thought were plateaus in weight loss before (based solely on the scale), so this time I made the choice to take pictures each week and it totally helps. I'm glad you found your "before" picture :)

    Keep up the good work, my dear!

    42lbs lost is a great achievement! You are doing a great job! I know, personally, sometimes it's hard to be excited about the progress when you feel like you still have so far to go. I have to remind myself to not look at where I want to go but where I have gone already. Keep up the good work!

    progress pictures are really really helpful. I looked at mine the other day and saw the loss of inches around my back and hips, and the definition in my abs. Keep at it. We may not be there yet but we will with some extra hard work!

    Over the last year and a half I have lost a lot of weight. However, until a few months ago, whenever I looked in the mirror, I saw the old me and not the thinner me. It amazes how long it took my mind to actually process that I was thinner. Having the pics is great. Keep it up. You look absolutely fantastic!

    I did the same things last week. I felt like I had made little progress and was feeling a bit down. I took a current pic and compared it to a picture from when I started and even I could see a difference. Just like you have made great strides and I can see the difference.

    Props!
