The difference a year makes...(comparative pics)
 

Hello all! It has always been one of my goals to post here when I hit signifcant new numbers. But I've been in a rut since July and fighting hard to keep my head above water. Instead I've decided to do this to celebrate what I have accomplished and not dwell so much on what I have left.

It has been exactly one year since I started this journey, and I'm happy to say it's 57lbs. lighter! I would rather be here than where I was one year ago, I'm so glad I stuck to it and not given in to lose yet another battle! I'm facing a new year with challenge of losing 47lbs. instead of the 104lbs. I started with last year. Woo HOOOO!

Tina, You look great! Such a big difference. Just look at your thin little neck and your slim shoulders now. :cheer: :cheer: 57 lbs is fantastic and you are so much closer to your goal than you were last year. I know you can do it!

Thanks everyone for the compliments and cheers. It really helps one motivating fibres to be cheered on! I would have never been able to stick this out as long as I have if it weren't for this site!

Tammy, nobody has ever used the words thin or little when describing something about me...LOL! Thanks! ;)

You have such a beautiful smile!

I'm jealous of the change in your chin/neck. I totally have that little bulge of fat (the "second chin") thing going on in a lot of my photos - and in your current shot, yours is totally gone!! You have an awesome jaw line now!

*envy* ;)
