Getting Closer

I often like to have fun and joke around on the forums, but I have been working hard to lose weight. I didn't have much to lose when I started and I haven't lost much along the way. I have seen a huge difference in my body though. For example, The photo on the right was a size 14. In the dress I'm a size 8. According to my ticker I have lost 3lbs, but it's closer to 9 (I need to get that fized!) Subtle changes, my shoe size has gone down. I know that sounds crazy but My feet have shrunk. My glasses slide off my face. I don't get tired doing cardio as easily as I used to. I am becoming more confident. I am trying to remember that it's not always weight that matters. I started at 169. I haven't dropped below 160 yet, but I am happy with where things are going.
I don't know if I will ever reach my goal weight, but I am happy with the changes so far. 9lbs doesn't seem like a lot but when I see these pictures next to each other, I can tell! The biggest change I made was adding weights into my routine. I didn't make any resolutions this year as far as fitness goes. I just plan to keep at it with support from my awesome friends!

    Thanks! And yes, it does look like I dropped a lot more. I should have measured inches when I first started, but for some reason I just didn't. I honeslty think that if I had paid more attention to inches lost rather than pounds lost, this wouldn't be so frustrating. However, I am starting to see results and they are pretty fantastic!
