Since I started July 27, 2013, I've lost exactly 30 pounds. I wish it would have been more than that-there were some stagnant weeks and the holidays and being sick didn't help, but that's life right? Hoping for at least double that amount next year!!!

p.s. please excuse the non-make up, messed-up hair look :P Walking all bundled up in the snow and ice will do that to you

I'm trying real hard to see anything wrong with losing 30 pounds in 5 months. The improvement is obvious and you're looking great!0

I absolutely agree with KingoftheBurk! That is fantastic! Way to go!!!
:flowerforyou: :happy: :flowerforyou:0 -
Nice job and great attitude!0

Thanks for the compliments
I know it's not a competition, but sometimes it's hard to be proud of my losses when a friend of mine has averaged 3 lbs a week for months. But I know I'm doing my best

Keep up the great work! You can certainly see the difference! Can't wait to see the installment of pics.0

oops, can't wait to see the NEXT installment of pics0

I agree with KingoftheBurk too. You look great!
I also want to thank you for sharing your progress along the way. I haven't done before photos ever because it feels like most people only share when they are down a kazillion pounds and have zero belly and so on...but I LOVE seeing people's before/after who have achieved goals along the way, like this. It is sometimes even more inspiring to me in fact!!!0 -
Definite difference. Great job! Keep it up!0
-
I agree with all that posted before me. You look great and 30 lbs in 5 months is super. That is approx. 1.5 lbs a week which is perfect. Keep it up - you can already see a big difference - your face, your arms - its all good.
You have proven you can do this so just keep going!0 -
Great work !! amazing the difference with 30 lbs off!!! You look great !0
-
I can see a difference. You are doing it the right way. Slow and steady.0
-
Great job! I figure as long as I'm losing weight, I'm happy. Just keep moving in the right direction. That's the ultimate goal.0
-
You look fabulous and 30 lbs is something to be proud of, without a doubt! I lost 37 lbs in a YEAR and I'm still overjoyed about it. Don't focus on how long the journey takes...focus on the day-to-day victories. Before you know it, you'll be at goal and celebrating!!!0
-
I agree with everyone! You look great and six pounds a month is fab!0
-
WOW - GREAT JOB SO FAR!!0

I can see a difference. You are doing it the right way. Slow and steady.

I have lost 20 lbs since Sept 9th and while it seems slow as a snail sometimes-it's the first time I have lost 20 lbs by myself (I lost 60 lbs using phentermine 6 years ago). I feel I have made a lifestyle change I can live with-so hopefully I will see a good loss next year also and won't gain it back this time. Keep up the GREAT work!! Thirty lbs is a BIG accomplishment!!!0

THAT is awesome! Great job! I believe that it's about changing your lifestyle. It's so tempting to try pills and fad diets (trust me, I started trying them with my mom when I was as young as elementary school!!!) but it's so rewarding to know that doing it this way is sustainable. And sometimes I remind myself that I won't always have to eat at this deficit, someday I'll be at goal and gosh darnit, I'll eat a sandwich with 2 pieces of bread instead of 1, or have a breadstick AND pizza, lol!0 -
