    Thank you both so much. It's motivating to see even a little change!
    I'm ready in 3 months to see a big change! :)
    How funny rawknitster, that is what my daughter said. She said my smile seemed bigger and she said I look less puffy! LOL Probably why my smile is bigger.
    I can see my dimples again, they aren't drowning in (as much) fat. :)
    I sent these to a friend and didn't tell her which was which and she said the left looked like the newest pic. Ugh! My daughter said whatever! :)

    Yes! You can definitely see the difference! Congrats - you are on the right path~

    Your daughter is right. There is a difference. I see more definition in your features, especially your cheekbones. Perhaps more importantly, your smile is different, and so are your eyes. You look more confident, happier.:)

    You stayed strong! Give yourself a pat on the back! Those thoughts can come out of nowhere, or can just pop up out of habit. It's ok, we all have them. It's indulging those thoughts that can get us into trouble. You had a strategy and stuck to it. Good for you.

    Hooray! You've released 8 lbs! And still having energy to pack while being tired sounds like a good sign. Keep it up.:)

    Good for you for staying strong! Adorable picture. I just cut up watermelon last night too! YUMMY! I've been craving it for a week now. You are doing great - hang in there!~

    Yep that's why he's my ex. Yes those words that have been spoken ring so loudly still to this day.
    I'm replacing those with positive affirmations and positive people in my life.
    My friend who hiked with me yesterday is such an encouragement!
    True love doesn't love at the scale, but my ex sure does with me.
    But, I'm better off for it and realize I'm finding a whole new me that was buried for 14 years!

    Great job & great attitude! I can see why he's your ex....lol - if mine ever said that to me - he'd be seeing my shoe to his behind as well! Keep up the great work~

    Can you imagine saying those words to someone?! How silly! Love doesn't have much to do with the scale, in my opinion. Great job with the hike. I always feel like I'm going to cough up a lung when I do the stairmaster.

    Hi veggie, I used to get boxes early in the a.m. at the liquor commission, when they opened. But I am in Ontario, Canada, and haven't any idea if they even still give them away. Just an idea. I also went to the large grocery stores - like Zehrs here, early in the a.m. when they had put them outside after stocking shelves overnight. You are doing wonderfully and I hope you have a lovely hiking weekend!
