Back in October of 2011 I decided to take a profile picture of myself (Never dreaming I'd share it) :blushing: Just thought I'd have it for my own personal reference as I started my weight loss journey. Then the other day I was out shopping and decided to just take another random profile picture. Tonight I thought I'd pull them both out and see if there was really much of a difference. Guess what? There was!! Yay!! All those hours of walking on the treadmill and lifting weights and watching my calories has paid off!! I still have a long way to go on this journey but I just wanted to send out a little bit of encouragement to others out there on this journey!!
