I did get the vacation pictures off the camera last night so I made a little progress. I'm slow what can I say lol. I'm hoping having a long weekend I will be able to catch up with my blog and everyone elses.
One of my fellow bloggers The Anti-Jared is having a challenge starting tomorrow called the Missouri 60. I told him I wanted to join his challenge. Actually my husband and I are going to join. My hubby isn't a blogger but I talk a lot about my blog and my fellow bloggers so I thought it would be nice for us to do the challenge together. I decided to post a before and now picture of us today and then in 60 days I will post a new before and now picture. We've both been having slow progress the past many months but it's still progress and I believe in 60 days we will be a little further along. Maybe not like some of the challengers but I still think it will give us both a needed boost.

Truly I am the worst picture doer on here lol. It just took me like 30 mins to get 2 darn pictures on here in the right spot. But I got them there and though they aren't quite the same size I think both hubby and I have good changes to show for the past 2 yrs for me and 1 yr for hubby.
My 2 yr anniversary for this journey is on the 12th of July. It's still hard for me to believe sometimes. I really do believe changes need to happen on the inside to be lasting on the outside. Some people start with the outside first and some with the inside first. I really don't think it matters which way you do it just that you start loving the person you are. It really is about self love.
Till tomorrow...

wow both of you have shrunk a TON between the 1st and 2nd picture. slow progress is STILL progress and it isn't a race. If it takes you 6 months or a few years, either way you are making your life healthier and better. Keep at it :)
4 lbs. gone good for you! 13 lbs...I am so sure, I knew it wasn't realweight.
Good luck with challenge. You both look like you shrunk some.
Good luck at TOPS too.
You've come so far :) Good job!!
Wow! I can see a big change! I'm going over now to read about the challenge :)
Well, up 6 lbs is way better than up 13! Told you it would come off!
I know, pictures screw up the formatting. If you do a "vacation pics" post, I would suggest making it separate from posts where you'll be writing a lot.
WOW! Good job, both of you!
You are so right, Dawn about change on the inside needing to happen to make the outside changes permanent. Maybe that is why permanent weight loss doesn't happen quickly.
Good luck with the challenge!
I remember someone sharing once, something his grandmother shared with him and I think it is one of the truest statements I have heard. He said, "Looks may take you where you want to go, but its your personality that will keep you there." I concur that the inside weighs more than the outside!
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! You look so much younger... and modern! Love it.
Glad that you are back, and enjoying being back. So many go on vacation, and then hate life after...
Wow, what a change for both of you. You look great!
I'm doing Tony's challenge too. Should be fun. :)
Nerdgirl, yes slow has been good for me because it has given me time to work on my mind too. Thanks.
Dana, I'm crossing my fingers about TOPS tonight, what will be will be. Thanks for the luck.
Thanks Doug, glad you're back.
TOPSlady, I think any challenge is worth doing really, helps to keep the motivation going.
Lainey, yea I'm sure I'll be spending plenty of time trying to figure out the picture posting stuff lol.
Karyn, so good to see you, I need to come check in with you on your blog.
Lynne, that is a true statement, I'm sure it will stay with me too.
Danielle, yea I always have fears when I go off plan that I won't be able to rope myself back in but it seems to be easier now thankfully. Thanks for the compliment.
Diana, glad you're doing Tony's challenge too, it should be fun with so many people participating.
