Finally starting to see results! (PICS!!)

So I've only been at this since February, and I'm going pretty slow and steady so that I can maintain after I reach my goal. I've tried many times before to get in shape, and I lost like 10 pounds and was all excited, but then I got side tracked and it all went downhill again (I have a real problem with follow through!)
I'm 5'6" (and a half!) and started at 163lbs. As of today I am at 140! I have not met my goal of 125 yet, and honestly I don't really care if I get all the way to 125 because as soon as I look and feel good about myself then I'll consider myself finished. I still have alot of work to do on my tummy, butt and thighs!
Anyway, I wanted to post up some pics now that I feel like there is a noticeable change (even though it's small)

You look great! At first I only saw the first two pictures & thought there was a very noticeable difference, but after seeing the third pic., AMAZING:)0

I think it's a big change! WTG! You should be really proud of yourself. That's a lot in just a couple months. :flowerforyou:0

I'm shocked that you call your progress/change "small"... do you not see the progress I'm seeing on these pictures?
I see a big change and to have that kind of improvement in just a few months is something you should be proud of! You are obviously putting the effort, but you also need to recognize progress.
Be proud, toot your horn and keep it up!

Thanks! I am really proud of myself, mostly because I know now that if I can lose 20 pounds, then I can definitely do more! I've always had low self esteem, but I've been feeling better and better about myself lately and I can't wait to wear a bikini hopefully before the end of summer!0

Yeah, I would also not call that a "small" change. You look fantastic! Great job!

I am like you I will lose 10 lbs get all excited then get sidetrack and gain 15 lbs!!

I count calories and log everything I eat. At first I started with 1200 calories, then upped it to 1300 after 2 months. I'm usually not hungry throughout the day because I pretty much snack constantly. I also either do 30 Day Shred a couple times a week or go jogging for at least a mile. In May I started lifting weights and I try to do some strength training 2-3 times a week.0 -

The first thing I noticed was the look on your face in that third pic. It's not that you face shape has changed or anything, it's that I can actually see in your face that you're feeling better about yourself. You GO girl!!!0 -
I think there is a huge difference! Your face even looks thinner. Great work!0

I'm 5'6", started at 165, and have been at this since some time last year. It took almost a year to get my head straight and keep 5lbs off. You should be extremely proud of yourself. You've obviously been extremely dedicated and come a long way in a very short period of time. I yoyo-ed a lot at first, I'd say the only real progress has been since January. 148lbs now. You are my motivation today. :devil:
You look fscking amazing, by the way.0 -
small change? girl you crazy! there is a huge difference! not to say that you looked bad to begin with... but you definitely changed a lot! you look great! 0

Wowza :bigsmile:
Keep it up!0 -
Absolutely inspiring. You are same height and weight that I am at, and we are looking at the same goal. Would love to help each other out! Keep up the great work. You are looking amazing!0
