Default 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!

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.
