Ever wonder what difference a year can make? (with pic)

So if you ever wonder what difference a year can make, here is some motivation.

I used a picture from last February and this January and numbers from last February and today.

image-1.jpg

So there is the picture proof- It's crazy to see the differences in a year. But here are some other differences:

I lost 45.5' in a year~
~5.5' from my waist
~7' from my hips
~4' from my arms
~9" from my thighs
~5" from my bust
~15' from my abdomen

and 9% body fat /// 38 lbs =)

What I have gained over the last year:
~I can run 8 miles
~I can shop at any store for the most part- no more plus size stores for me
~health and more years to my life

    Thanks everyone. One of the things I have learned is to trust in the process and keep making good decisions. Accept that I may have a bad day and move on. I try not to set goals with limits, like lose 10 lbs in 2 months because thats when I find myself getting frustrated or what not. I just keep doing the right thing and let the results show for themselves =)
