I'm shrinking, too

While I'm not shrinking as quickly as others, I am managing to shrink quite a bit. I haven't noticed it really except for when I put photos side by side like this comparison. It's really hard for me to do this, because I've *never* liked having my photo taken... but I've started taking photos with my cell phone (restroom mirror photos, sorry!) every month or so, at work... so that I'll have comparison photos.

Anyway... I've decided that being diagnosed as a diabetic in January 2011 really saved my life. I have a LONG way to go, but I'm getting there. I've never been little, but I'm back at the weight I was in 1999. I'm going to get smaller. It's a lifelong challenge, but it's something I can and will do.

Anyway, just thought I'd share.

I don't feel much different. My hubby said I breathe easier when I sleep, but otherwise I feel about the same. My mental image is still of me being super fat. Not that I'm NOT, but - you know... maybe I will eventually get over it.

wow!!!

We can see the difference even in your face! Congratulations and keep going, girl!

You look beautiful!! Congratulations.:D

That is a tremendous difference! Congratulations!

I am shrinking too...I don't really have a before pic! I am down about 15.5 lbs with about the same to go.

I attend a group for eating addiction so I can work on the 'fat in my head' as I call it and grow more inside as I shrink outside.;)

Slow and steady...that's the way to go. You rock!

That is great! Well done you look lovely!

Congrats!!!:) I sure can tell the difference. Keep up the good work. Good luck.:)

Good work! You look great!

Looking good! Be very proud of yourself, losing weight isn't easy. Your mental image of yourself will change in time. I lost 30 pounds this year and sometimes feel no different. Look in a mirror!:D

Uh...WOW WOW WOW! What a difference! Good on you, you look GREAT!!

Congrats! You look great! Keep it up!:D

Wow!!! Another 'Incredible Shrinking PT'er". You look fantastic. Keep up the good work.

Wow! what a big difference! You should be very proud of the accomplishment!

I was very close to being diabetic myself and started to lose weight before it got that far. You should be DOUBLY proud, because once you have Diabetes, losing weight is much harder because of how your body processes everything. Keep up the great work.

Wow, that's a huge difference. You look so much better now. Congratulations! :)

That is a great difference in such a short amount of time. Good for you!! :D
I hope everyone continues to post these threads. They might help me get motivated to do something.
My gym opens next week (supposedly), so no more excuses!!!
