Hello everyone,

Like most people I did great my first month (lost 20 pounds), but this second month has been a struggle (gained and lost the same 2-3 pounds, twice!). Today I was hoping to be down at least 21, 22 pounds....and although I was down 1 pound, still 20 pounds total! I was getting a little frustrated.

However today is October 1 and on the first of every month I said I would take some pictures to track my progress (3 profile pictures in 4 different outfits). I almost didn't take them today and was telling myself, "you haven't lost anything just take the pictures next month". But oh my goodness, I'm so glad I did this today! I really didn't think anything changed over the month because of the scale issues. But the pictures tell a different story!! I could really see a difference between last months pics and today!!

So feeling good and proud of my progress, although a little slow and the scale didn't show it this month, there was progress! Thank you pictures! And holy crap, comparing today with August 1....wow, I can't believe the difference!!

I did start working out again two weeks ago as well....so maybe that has effected things too!

I hope everyone else has been taking pictures :)

Taking pictures is important! I bought a dress just for the heck of it, and it actually looks nice. I compared it to my August Photo and couldn't believe the progress! I mean, i saw the 26 pound difference on the scale, but the pictures made me realize that it's actually moving along. Good luck!

The camera doesn't lie! Just because the scale isn't moving, the inches usually are. Congrats. Keep it up (or down as the case may be!)

Thanks Ladies!!

It's also kinda fun putting the clothes on each month and taking all the pictures. Also good to feel the zippers pull up easier and easier.
