My Annual Watermelon Pic!
 

Hi! It's time for my "watermelon photo"!

Some background:
In 2014, I was carrying a watermelon into my company picnic and asked a coworker to take a picture. "Just like in Dirty Dancing!"
When I saw the picture, I was devastated.

One year later, in June of 2015, I remembered that photo and asked my husband to take one of me, holding a watermelon, so I could compare them side by side. I was feeling a little down and frustrated, like I wasn't getting anywhere. When I saw 2014 next to 2015, I cried. A LOT. I had no idea how far I had come.

On Saturday, I realized that "hey, it's June again!" Now, I've been in a plateau for the past 4 months, and I only need to lose about 20 more pounds, and I don't really see too much of a difference from last year and this year....but here it is. The Watermelon Pic.

It's simply diet/calorie counting/portion control, exercise, weight lifting, boxing, cardio, tears, laughter and support.

You've got this.

Fantastic work! If your clothes fit better and you feel good about yourself, I wouldn't worry about not seeing a difference in the plateau and your photos. You have done a good amount of changing your outside package which you should be proud of. Good for you on your accomplishments!

You're looking great!! :carrot:

Lookin' good girl!!!

Wow!!! You look awesome! Its nice to remind yourself how far you've come to really motivate you during your plateaus. Keep killing it!

I love your watermelon pic tradition. :)

Thanks! The funny part about this year's picture was that I was shopping by myself and I had to ask a complete stranger to take it. I told her the whole story; she took it on the condition that I meet her at the exact place and time in 2017!!! She was so awesome.

Hahaha!!!!!!!! :d

I love this so much! You look awesome and there is a total difference for the better between each year of photos!

What a great idea! You look fab! Well done! :)

i love this! well done you can most definitely tell between all the photos that the weight is coming off..... plus your getting younger with age it seems

Love the story behind it. You've done excellent work! :bravo:
