So I've been feeling a bit down on myself lately and getting the thought in my head that I'm not really making good progress (though i am daily). my weight today even was 0.6 lbs down from the pics I took last night but I still have that slight nagging self doubt thing going on.
I figure I'm about 3 lbs shy of being 1/3 of the way there and I've told myself that is when I am going to post progress pics, so I was hoping by doing this I'd get a boost of confidence and motivation.

And looking at the pics side by side which I haven't done before REALLY made me see how much weight I've lost, so I'm feeling a little better and am here to share :)

I didn't take official 'before' pics until I was about 13lbs down but I do have some from a family event where a bunch of pictures were taken (thanks to my photographer aunt). They basically are the reason why I started my weight loss journey and they were at my highest weight.

    Great job - you can really see the changes !!

    When I decided to make the choice to seriously dedicate myself to losing the weight I had gained, I had taken front, back and side before pictures (in boy shorts and bra - twas not pretty). but every month, I take the same shots and lay them side by side in microsoft paint - when I get down about not feeling like things are progressing - I take a look at the sequence of pictures ... it reminds me how far I've come ...

    And on the days I am down and low about the effort and energy this all takes, I open that first picture and just stare at it ... reminds me where I was and how much I don't want to be that unhealthy anymore....

    All that to say, keep up the great work! You're doing great!!
