Im kinda excited, its been almost exactly 3 months and i've lost 19 pounds, no one has noticed though. I didn't even notice until i took a picture yesterday when i was all dressed up at work. I was like "wow!" I posted it on fb today and no one commented :( i felt really sad bc I thought it was a great pic. Then I saw my sister today, who has been out of town for about a month and the first thing she said was 'wow rachel, look at you, you've lost a ton of weight, i can see it in your face'. So then I felt really good, I really wanted to cry because i was so happy.

I had to share with everyone, because we often work really hard to lose weight and seldom see the results ourselves because we are slowly changing. And sometimes the people around us on a regular basis don't seem to notice. Just be patient because there will be that one day when you take a picture of yourself and you're like "WOW!" and don't be disappointed like I was if no one says anything, just remember that feeling you have when you notice the change. I used to love taking pics and I was so happy with the change that i actually posted it in a public place lol cant wait to meet my goal, i'm just going to keep working hard. Good Luck everyone!

xoxo
Rachel

    This is incredible! Sometimes when people see you everyday it's hard for them to notice and then BAM they do. It took me about a 30lb weight loss for anyone to say anything. People just have to readjust that set image of you. Believe me you're doing great. Keep it up. <3
