I've officially lost 70 lbs in 7 months. I am posting these pictures for anyone out there who has lost motivation or hope. When I joined this site I was diabetic, morbidly obese, and hating myself. I had very little expectations but knew it was time to make a change. 1 lb turned into 2, turned into 5, turned into double digits. That was all it took for me to change my life.

I am one of those people whose mind has not yet caught up with their weight loss. I still see a very heavy person when I look in the mirror. I have 30-40 lbs left to go and lots of toning to do, but I've gone from a 20/22 pant to a 12. I continue to buy 2XL-XL shirts when I really wear a M or L. I rolled my ankle the other day at the gym and have to take a few days off. This sent me into a depression. I rely on the gym for my peace of mind and quiet time. It keeps me centered in my crazy world. I decided to go through my closet and try on some things I wore last summer. When I stepped into my khaki skirt and it fell to the ground I finally understood the progress I've made.

If you're feeling down -- take pictures! The scale is not always the best indication of your progress nor does it define it!
