This week I am going to talk about my pictures. Our TOPS group has to have our pictures taken every six months and my goal was to have 50 pounds off. I didn't make it. This is okay, because just looking at the comparison you can see as well as I, that I am making a dent in the process of getting it off. I have lost 48 3/4 pounds and it is okay, I will get to the 50 pound mark soon.
It really is amazing to me that I am looking different. I don't see it when I look in the mirror. My mind has a whole different image of what I look like. However, when you see the pictures well I can't really deny it now can I?
I think that becoming the leader of my group is a big help for me, and I think I am the right person for this job. This will keep me motivated to try and get the weight off so that the members of the group can see that I am serious about this and if I can stay with it, then hopefully they will realize that I am there for them too.
That is a new thing I am going through right now, I feel so much for the members (seeing that they are all mostly family) and I want them to do well, but what can I do when they are having a tough time? What can I say that will help or motivate them? I realize that no one can do it for any of us, but I wish I had the magic words or the right combination to help someone.
While I am thrilled with the weight loss I am experiencing and I do wonder if I will be an effective leader. I guess anyone who takes on this type of responsibility will feel this way, I just hope I can break through to someone and help them as I have been helped. Isn't that what weight loss is about? You need to have a strong support system and while I ma lucky and have that, I want to be able to do that for others.
This is alot for me to think about and I had no clue that this is where I would be heading with this week's post, but it seems lately the my posts kind of take on a life of their own.
This week's weight loss was 1/4 pound. I am pleased, it is still on the down slope. so until next week, I hope to gain nothing but knowledge and lose nothing but weight.

I can see the difference, especially in your face and neck! 50 more lbs in 6 months. I think so. You are a leader. You can inspire others to do well. Just look at how hard this has been for you. If you can do it, so can they!
Wow, there's a tremendous difference in your photos! Good for you -- keep it up and you won't believe the change you see in your body!
