35 lbs down facial comparison

I have been a little undecided about whether or not to even put this under success stories or not because this is not a huge difference, if anything it is a "barely" difference. However, I am proud of myself for getting this far, even though I still have MUCH farther to go. I personally believe we should celebrate each and every little success along this journey to fully appreciate what living better can and will do for you.
I began this journey August 2012, did great for about 6 weeks and then fell, hard . I picked back up on this path June 24, 2013 and have come leaps and bounds father than I ever imagined. And this is only the beginning :)
So here goes nothing! (This is my first time posting pics on a forum so fingers crossed it works! If not, feel free to yell or type loudly :P )

I wish I could figure out how to see them side by side!!! Oh well, better than nothing :/

    I can see the difference and you lost 35 pounds, so, yes, this is certainly a success. Here's the side-by-side comparison. And, I see it a lot in your neck, shoulder area, too.

    Congratulations! Yes there IS a difference! Falling backwards is tough. I am just coming off a 32 pound gain. It is so good to see another MFP success story like yours. Great attitude and hard work in action is success even in the early days of getting healthy. Keep that bright smile lit up as you keep going!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    I love seeing the changes in a person's (and my own) face the most, I think. There is most definitely a noticeable difference. You're beautiful. :)
