*Sorry the pics are taken at different houses, and so the first ones are a little closer!

I'm only down 7.6 pounds, which is about 5% of my total weight loss goal.

But I can see a small difference - and its going to make me want to lose more!

**This is my first time showing pics like this to anyone, let alone the whole internet.
Please don't be to negative.

    The hardest part for me is when I work hard, and the big results take a long time. This is a great idea, celebrate the steps along the way. And I can see the loss as well, especially in your arms. Keep up the good work!

    I'm only at 5% of my intended loss too, and I'm also starting to feel a difference. I haven't really taken any photos yet, but I do feel like I'm slightly less squishy before, and only with 5lbs off. It's also nice to know that certain exercises can really tighten up your figure without changing your weight too much. I can definitely see your belly tightened up a little bit...just think of how much more progress you'll hit at 10-15% off! Keep taking pics, whether you post them or not...it's sometimes difficult to see the difference from your own perspective.

    I have the worst habit of thinking " I have 150 pounds to lose.."

    But I lost 5% of that in a month..
    I'm happy.
    It's 7.6 lbs less than I was!

    So Here goes my next 7.6 lbs! :)

    We can all do it, one step at a time!

    Good for you! That was probably the hardest ones, because you were learning how to do it.

    Read up on how losing just 10% of your weight drastically improves your overall health. Don't think it's all or nothing! You are getting healthier and will be feeling more comfortable every week (or month)!

    Great job! You really can see a difference. 7 pounds doesn't seem like much compared to our overall goal, but look how much of a difference it made. You look great. :)
