This obviously isn’t the best side by side in terms of the the angles and position i’m standing, (couldn’t remember the angle from the first shot) BUT: I remember when I took that picture on the left shortly after I had started losing weight, and I remember I was having a “skinny feeling” moment. I took the one on the right this morning (both were done at my husband’s work). While there isn’t a huge difference, i can tell in the way my clothes fit in the new pic that i’m going in the right direction. I’m overall smaller, and my hour glass is coming back (YEAH BABY). Just felt like sharing this non scale victory this morning:)

I didn’t realize the changes that have occurred in my face. This kind of boggles my brain because if I remember correctly, there is only a few pounds difference between the pics. Pretty nifty. 

Yay for progress! Not a ton, but i will take every bit I can get:) 

Breaking news: I no longer feel like I look pregnant. *happy dance*

Even cooler news: there is only a 3 pound difference in these pics.

The scale is a tricky bastard. Don’t give it too much importance in your journey:)

The only thing keeping me sane during this plateau is comparing before and current pics. Someone out there promise me I won’t be stuck here at this point forEVER? lol

I was so incredibly unhappy in that first picture. I remember taking it on “day 1” and thinking “what have I done to myself?”. And while I’m far from my goal weight (which I’ve actually yet to set), I’m so incredibly proud and excited about my progress so far. Every pound counts, every pound makes a difference.

(I should have smiled in the new pic. I promise I’m quite happy lol)

New jeans, smaller size! Hello there butt, I’ve missed you!!!! 

I have to keep making these to remind myself that I’m heading in the right direction. So frustrating when the scale won’t move, but important to also focus on NSV’s and inches lost. I can see a definite improvement in the pics, and every little bit counts. So chin up ducks! We can do this:-)

Pretending to be an upstanding member of Corporate America today….blah blah blah.

My boobs are getting smaller, but so is my stomach…I can totally live with that (for now lol)

Of course I wish it were happening faster, but I’ll take whatever progress I can;-) 17 lbs total (14 lb loss in the pics) in 2 months:)
