Slow...but making progress :)

Hi Everyone,

I've been reading the message boards lately and have been so inspired by everyone's progress, I thought posting my own so far will keep me motivated. I've only got pictures of my face so far, but that's where I've been a big difference. The first picture is from June 2010, at 228, my heaviest. I got engaged a month later and started my weight loss journey then. I only lost 10lbs from July to November. In November I joined MFP and a gym. I've been working with a personal trainer once a week and am finally starting to see results. From November til today I've lost 13 more pounds, and it's finally starting to sink in for me. I'm realizing this is not a sprint, it's a marathon. I'm learning a lot about my body and how it reacts to certain foods, and I've learned that I didn't put on the weight in a month so I can't expect it to come off that quickly either. I did have a number in my head that I wanted to get to by my wedding this June, but I'm no longer so obsessed with that number. I'm losing inches all over as well as pounds, and I'm starting to get my confidence back as well :happy: So thanks for reading my post, this site is wonderful and I wish I would have joined years ago!

Make it a great day!!
