Disappointed And Excited At The Same Time

I'm a teacher and today was the first day of school. My goal was to be down 100 pounds total by the first day. WELLLLL, I have been stalled at 98 for over two weeks!!! I've been frustrated as hell! I know it's normal but that doesn't mean it's not disappointing. I know I haven't been working out as much as I should but I've been doing great with my meals. I'm kinda obsessed with MFP now when I was so resistant to the idea at first.

Anywho, I got all jazzed up for the first day today... I wish I would have gotten a full body pic but I live alone and felt weird asking a coworker. :( However, I do have pictures from today and from the first day of school last year. THIS is why I'm excited! The difference just from the chest up is pretty damn awesome. And the first pic isn't even at my highest weight. I gained about 15 pounds after this, when I hurt my knee and quit working out.

Take a look... I'm not fully "out" to everyone so I didn't want to post this on Facebook or anywhere else but I feel like I'm needing some positivity right now. Love my VST'ers!

You look great! Keep up the good work, you are an inspiration.

You look great! I bet you were getting compliments all day from the other teachers.

GORGEOUS!!!!!! Keep up the good work! I am certain that when you are NOT even thinking about it, you will lose those 2 pounds. Focus on your major accomplishment of the 98 ilbs and not on the minor 2 pounds!! Go be that gorgeous teacher all the little boys have a crush on!! LOL

You look fabulous! WTG....keep up the great work!

I use MFP too...love it...please add me, my username on MFP is : Sandy0424

thanks and congratulations on rocking your sleeve!
