    You look FANTASTIC!! Definitely an "after" photo you've shared.

    Thank you for posting this.

    I think attitude is so important. I have lost more weight after finally learning to like my body (even larger) than I ever dreamed of losing when I was feeling desperate and miserable.

    Every part of your body has improved from last year's NYE photo, not just your face.
    Print out 10 copies of those comparison photos, and post them everywhere!

    "Don't allow the PERFECT to overshadow the GOOD" progress you've made.

    Best wishes!

    You are so right.I have lost 20 lbs since 9-13 and that is definently better than gaining.I did gain a few lbs over christmas but I got back on track and have dropped them.We do need to look at the progress instead of putting or self down for a small set back.I always tell myself as long as I never give up I can't fail.You look great and congrats on the change.

    Thank you for posting this. I really needed to read this. Over the last few months I've lost 36 lbs and put 4lbs on over the Holidays. Now Im back at it but during the holiday seasons I was so hard on myself for gaining those 4lbs, but Ive come to realize look how far I've come, pat your self on the back. It took self displine, hard work and dedication. I got 39lbs to go and I know I can do it because I just did a few months ago. Instead of COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT I DONT LIKE WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR, IM GOING TO START TELLING MYSELF WHAT I DO LIKE AND ADMIRE THE CHANGE THAT I DO SEE. Thanks again.

    Well done on what you have achieved so far you look great :)

    Thanks for posting this just when I needed it :wink: - I have been down in the dumps this week and have done badly getting back to it after christmas and as a result been beating myself up and feeling like "why do I bother"

    Thank you , I too started a weight loss in 2011 lost 30lbs only to quit in 2012 to gain it all back.. Now in Nov 12 I decided it was time to get back at it.. I realize just because the scales are not moving, I need to focus on the little things, like fitting in that awesome corset I had purchase for my wedding which was way too tight yet now fits like a sleeve.. It is the little things I am trying to focus on.

    Well done you look fab! Given me alot of motivation now to keep this up, I only joined on Sunday and seeing this has made me see that even though my end result is 47 lb away its worth sticking to when you see results like this. Well done x
