23/F/5'6" 165.8 to 156.8 (January 2nd to today). Seriously losing motivation so I put pictures next to each other for a little pick me up. Even with just 9 lbs lost since the beginning of January, I can see a difference.

NSFW.

I started my journey October 15th last year at 183.4lbs depressed and just not happy with how I was. My daughter was my biggest excuse. "I'm too tired, she can't go to the gym with me, I have too much to do" and so forth. Finally after my birthday I realized I needed to kick my ass in gear. As much as I wanted to be that mom that says she is getting healthier for her kid(s), but I needed to do something for me. And this was it. I wanted my pre baby body back. To be smaller, stronger, and healthier like I was before this cute monster entered my life. So I changed.

I've been doing CICO since, with some exercise in between. Not as much as I would like so all my progress I have, has to be given to MFP. I haven't made as much progress in the new year as I have wanted, so I put a collage together so I could see if I had made any even though the scale isn't saying what I would hope it would say. Well damn, to my surprise I saw a good amount of progress. Plus I went back in MFP entries and saw I had lost 9lbs in a little over 2 months. That's so good!

So keep going everyone. Mirrors and scales are so wonky and an easy avenue to discouragement. I can't recommend taking pictures more. It helped me so much to see that I AM making progress. So scale, you can kiss my ass!
