Sometimes when the scale stalls, it is easy to forget all the progress you have made. During the past two years, I have only lost about 10 pounds...and they were hard earned! But I can't forget my total progress. Of course I want to keep moving forward. I will keep moving forward...even if the progress is slow...it is happening!

Even though the scale hasn't changed much, I do notice changes in my body. I am stronger and my endurance improves everyday!
It's so important to maintain perspective, which it sounds like you have from this post. Though you say the scale hasn't budged much, I see a great deal of difference in the two photos. Keep up the good work, and know it will all be okay.
ReplyDeleteWhile you havent made much "progress" I see lots of Progress...keep up the hard work you will get there!
ReplyDeleteyour words are so true! so important to look at the overall progress...you have worked hard and I know you will keep working hard!

ReplyDeleteYou're SUCH an inspiration to me. You work so hard and really give it your all. I know your body fights against you at every turn it seems, but you're strong, you can do amazing things, and you're one the hardest workers I know. I am so proud of you!
That is just a 10-pound difference? NO WAY! You must have lost quite a bit of fat and muscled up then because yourbody looks much smaller! You look fantastic, Jessica. :) I'm always struck by how pretty you are.
ReplyDeleteOmw! Huge difference!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great. Just don't stop. Keep on working. You're so worth it.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Photos blow my mind. I use 'em as inspiration all the time. Your before and after has inspired me today. Thanks a bundle! It's always so nice to see where you were and where you are and where you can go. I love it!
You're looking fantastic - toned and healthy. You're on the right track :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, the scale doesn't show all your success - I am only down 13 pounds, but I went down 2 sizes in clothes - my 12's are getting big too! :D
ReplyDeleteWow, you have come so far!
ReplyDeleteI always feel uplifted when I look at old pictures of myself, 40+ pounds ago.
