So I was feeling a little down this week. It will be two years this coming November since I began taking control and working to get comfortable and happy with myself. But the past two month has been very slow in the losing department even though I have been doing everything right. I know sometimes that's just how it goes. But I did finally hit 60 lbs down this week. I was reading a post today. A guy posted a great before and after photo but was feeling down about his progress. I told him he needed to dig up all the awful before photos he could find and that it would help him remember how far he has come. After I thought....hmmm maybe I need to do that...so here it is. I have 40 more to go to be within my healthy weight, but 60 is worth celebrating.

Start weight : 263lb, Nov 2, 2011
Current: 203lb
Height 5' 6.5"

    It sure is worth celebrating! Congrats! You look fab. You should be smiling in your pics tough. :) We all seem to plateau at some point. (Been there and slowing getting myself out!) Maybe try changing up your exercise routine. Good luck and keep up the great work!

    60 lbs is fantastic, great job !! i'm 64 years old and up and down with my weight, lost 108 lbs and retired and managed to put 50 lbs back on, finding it difficult not being active at work, still walking Mt. Rubidoux on a consistent basis but have to push myself more.
