Don't Give Up

I had an icky moment of feeling frustrated this morning because in my feed virtually everyone was posting a loss .. I've gained 14 pounds since July, have lost several inches and am wearing a smaller size ... my point being (and I've said this time and time again and maybe I keep posting about it because one day I will actually believe it) that the scale is not a great way to determine progress. The difference in the below pictures is about 40 pounds ... I would love to lose another 20 and get below 200 pounds but I'm not sure that that will happen. I started lifting weights a few months ago and as long as the inches keep coming off ... everything's cool. When you get down on yourself .. go grab a few old pictures and see how far you've really come ...
