The pic on the left is from last September and is roughly what I weighed (approaching 170) when I dedicated myself to getting in shape back in February. I remember feeling so disgusted when I took the pic and knew I had to do something. It took me months to actually commit to it though.

On the right is the pic I took on Saturday. I was feeling super sluggish when I was out for my jog but then I realized how loose my exercise shorts were (I rarely wear them because I prefer leggings). And I remembered that these were the shorts I wore when I took my before shot and I thought of how uncomfortable I was in them and how they gave me severe muffin top. I pulled up my shirt and looked down and was amazed at how much room I had. It really helped me put things in perspective. So here is my before and my FIRST after. I have a long way to go but you have to reach the small goals before hitting the big one :)

    I am so happy for u. Ur legs appear slimmer at the top as well! YAYYYYYYY u.

    Remember to take photos and compare - ur right it really does help. My adult son wondered who was in the photo in the red top with his Dad LOL. He did a double take when I told him it was me LOL. I've dined on that for months (figuratively speaking of course) :-)
