Hi everyone. This is my first "picture post," and I am doing it mostly to encourage myself. My clothes keep getting bigger, but it was hard to visualize how much I had lost until I did a side by side. Apologies for the not so great photos. They were the best I could get. The photo on the left was taken last Halloween (and to any BBT fans on MFP, yes, I went as Amy and that is my tiara). I started changing my lifestyle and more importantly my mindset in the end of December, and so far, everything has gone well. I won't say it was easy because it definitely wasn't, but I have found that as long as I wake up everyday remembering why I am getting healthy and focus my mental energy on creating new healthy habits and eliminating bad ones, then the "fall off the wagon" days are few and far between - even after a stressful day at work!

    Amazing results so far!!!! Keep up the good work!!

    Im doing the same as you, waking up every morning and reminding myself of the various reasons why I have changed my eating and dieting habits.....................that so far has motivated me to keep going and although Ive only been at it a couple of weeks, I already feel differently both mentally and physically!

    You can really tell the difference. I bet getting up each day as a smaller you is thrilling. It looks like we started at a similar weight at time, so it is particularly encouraging for me to see your success. Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks to everyone for the encouragement! I am only 10 lb from being halfway to my goal. This is the smallest I have been in 5 years, and I am loving how much easier it is to be active. Started running again, yoga is easier, started lifting again. It was time for a life change, and I am determined to make that change and keep making it every day.

    I found this quote a couple of days ago, and it has become my new inspiration:

    "Making a big life change is pretty scary.

    But, you know what's even scarier?

    Regret."

    Just what I needed to hear- a bit of scare is necessary. Regrets not so much. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!
