Well I sit here today as I approach my first weight loss MILESTONE! I lost my first 50 pounds, I started on 12/1/11 and accomplished this on 2/21/12 so it has been roughly 83 days so far. I'm mainly posting this because a few weeks ago I hit a rough patch and was unhappy with how my weight loss was going, I see the numbers on the scale going down, I just don't see it in my appearance.. I NEED SOME ENCOURAGEMENT!

    I couldn't see the photos but I wanted to say keep up the great work. To lose that much weight in less than three months is an accomplishment.

    Just had a look at your pics online - you can really see a difference - especially round your face - double chin appears to have dissapeared

    Well done

    Keep up the good work

    Good Job,
    You look awesome! Dont get discouraged, remember, it takes time to put the weight on, and to take it off.
    {Put your pictures on your fridge, or bathroom mirror, that will help motivate you }:flowerforyou:
