Because I was feeling a bit down with the amount of weight I lost in the past few weeks (17 pounds since 8/25/10) - I decided to look at a picture from when I started at the end of Aug and one today - I can actually see a difference. It has def.helped renew my confidence and determination. As painful as pictures can sometimes be, I think they were a valuable tool for me.

The week before I started 8/2010 and today

    I can see it and 17 pounds makes a big difference. Stack up 17 pound boxes of butter next time you are at the grocery store and see for yourself. Great job!

    Wow! You look great! I too lost 17 pounds to this point (7 with MFP). I know it makes a difference because my jeans are getting loose, especially around my waist and my rear end. I can't wait to buy a size 14 jean instead of a 16. Keep up the great work! :flowerforyou:

    I have lost 17 also. Reading your story helps me to stay on track. I love this web site. I have been watching the numbers go down on the scales, sonething that has not happened in years, but I am having a hard time seeing them gone on my body. I have a long way to go. Keep up the great work. You look wonderful. I can sure see those pounds have left you.

    8.5 lbs a month is pretty good. It adds up pretty fast. Just think...... 8.5 lbs times 10 months is about 85 lbs! That is ALOT!!!
