I recently posted my one-year anniversary success, but even though I had lost a decent amount of weight I have continued to have a hard time really seeing a difference. This might be because I still have a lot of weight to lose. But last month my daughter came across a picture she took of me with my new granddaughter last summer, and said we needed to recreate the pose to document the changes in both of us over the course of a year. Now I see that I really do look different! Violet and I have both been more mobile and both lost some body fat! (She was 3 months old in the first picture, 15 months in the second picture)

So, look for some pictures from before you started losing and put side-by-side with a new picture - it's nice to see that the hard work is paying off.

I've resized the picture a few times and can't get it to quit cutting Violet off. Dang it.

    Yes, definitely! You look great! A big difference and I'm glad you decided to do a comparison. It took me doing that to see the difference also. Every since I've been looking at myself in different refreshed eyes.

    That is a big difference! WTG!

    I am in the middle of a large weight loss, too, and know what you mean about not being able to see the loss. Not long ago I started really noticing the changes, in the mirror, and also the fact that my legs looked smaller, etc. It is exciting to finally see the difference. I find myself pausing to look in the mirror and appreciate the positive changes.
