Thumbs up Starting to happen

Last week I was at 26 lbs lost.. and it's starting to happen. People are now starting to notice. I have never stuck with it long enough to get to this point. Trust me - it's so worth it. It's a huge motivation for someone to say "hey - I can tell!"

My trainer noticed about 2 weeks ago. That was huge and encouraging.
To all of you that are around the 10 lbs lost point and think like I did - I've lost 10lbs, can I be done yet? lol - Keep Going! Every day does not have to be perfect.

What's different this time?

I started by exercising first - then started dieting (always been the opposite before)
I quit drinking soda
I don't eat/drink "diet" products
and here is the big one:
I don't act like I have to be perfect. The only rule is that I can't quit. No matter what!
