I posted these in the pic thread too, but here they are anyway. I was going to wait till I saw more difference but I need to get more involved in my own inspiration so

Here they be. Me.

Before 5 mnths

This is kinda scary for me seeing as how I haven't lost all that much, but it's 40 lbs, and its 40 lbs gone from my knees and feet and my heart. I am 40 lbs healthier and here are my pictures.

Congratulations on the 40lbs. You are lookin great and feeling so much better, I am sure. Congrats again Maggie:thumbup:

Thank you Maggie.

Those 40lbs have been a lot of work for me so I have to be as proud of them as possible.

I appreciate you.

Oh Ready you look wonderful!!!! Please tell me you can see the difference. I can totally tell. You have some fine curves going there. And never, never, never say "only" 40 pounds again. 40 pounds off is fantastic!!!!!!!

No doubt, 40 lbs is a lot of weight.. Imagine if you had gained 40lbs.. I think sometimes when we look at a other people's numbers we feel that 30 or 40 isn't a lot, but it is.. I remember when I started I'd see people who lost 40 and think, "wow, that's a lot".. so, it really is, we have just become immune to it I think.. You are looking fabulous and I love your outfit you are wearing in the new pic!!

Wow you look great!! Keep up the good work!

Oh wow...you look AWESOME:thumbup: "Only 40lbs"...girl that is A LOT of weight and a huge accomplishment. You are lookin' down right sassy!!

Ready,

Wow, I can absolutely see a difference! Girl, you look amazing. I think it is hard to tell when looking at yourself but just look at those pictues and surely you can see what we all see. You should be very proud. It's a huge accomplishment. Way to Go!!

you look wonderful. the main thing is how you feel. don't get caught up in the numbers. You can totally see it in your pictures...

You look great! I can totally see the difference. I know how hard it is to see our own differences. You should be proud of yourself because you are working hard. Take more pictures, even if you are the only one who looks at them, and you'll see the changes. That's the only way I really see it, especially the subtle changes.

Awwwwww
