    Thank you so much for this post. I'm about 5 weeks into a new journey and have been feeling a bit defeated. I better start taking some pictures!

    I really, really needed this. Thank you! I was consistently losing for several months then stop working out and planning because of work. I started again 2 weeks ago and found myself gaining and gaining. Two weeks isn't that long and I completely forgot. Good job!

    omg... thank you so much... I was basically impatient as you were- this is my 2nd month of working out and I felt I had no difference in me... but then reading your post... makes me realize it takes more than just 3-4 months to see the actual changes... thank you again for giving the motivation!

    I get the point of the threat but for the record I see a difference between week 1 and week 6. Slight more definition in stomach the "pull in" look. Slight bit less on the arms and less bloat in the face. :flowerforyou:

    Thanks so much everyone♡ and I aaaam crazy.

    And yes, so many different hair styles!

    My wk 1 vs 6 looked worse, too because I was standing closer in the second picture, which gave the illusion of very little/no change. Wearing consistent outfit for before and during, Keeling the same lighting males a huge impact on visual change. Remember that, too if it appears nothing is changing

    Love it! I understand perfectly! It's the struggle I have been going thru the last couple months. I lost 30lbs about 5yrs. ago and then I just burned out! I worked tooooo hard and made it all of my life instead of part of my life. So, this last two months I have tried to steady it out, get my workouts in, good food within my calories and more active in other areas..........I think they call it balance, lol!

    I have taken the pictures this time, for me, maybe share later, but I need to SEE the difference not just see the stats on paper. I think it will help.

    Thanks for the story, it's all good!

    This was good to see this morning! I just weighed and was a little disappointed with the loss. It can be so hard sometimes trying to not get discouraged because of having too high of expectations. I know that if I stay the course it will happen. Thanks for sharing! :)

    Thanks guys ♡ I'm really glad I can encourage and help others.

    It's very easy to get frustrated because it does feel like forever. But years go by so quickly. I'd rather spend the rest of my life trying to better my health and making slips and falls along the way then throwing it away saying I can't.

    You've got this! !!
