Starting to see a change...slowly but surely!

Decided it was time to take some new pics and see what a difference almost 40pounds lost can make, its been so slow coming off, but slow is good right? I started my weight loss journey on my own, and lost the first 11lbs, then decided I was going to need some advice, help, tips what ever I could find, and so I googled free weight loss sites, and thats how I found sparkpeople, and no looking back ever since, I will not lie, and have had to hit the reset button lots!! Christmas was a killer, and it set me back, and I have not been seeing much of the scale going down lately, but I have seriously been putting my all into exercising, bought a treadmill, and have been forcing myself to get on it or get outside, so, my DH tells me he thinks that I am just adding muscle, because I have lost inches with the tape measure! and clothes are getting looser! Yeah for me!! Just want to say thankyou to all of my spark friends for all your kind words and encouragement, I dont have much of a support system when it comes to my family, my sister and mom are both very over weight, and since I started last year losing, my sister had gotten very jealous my mom tells me, and is very negative towards me.... I know its hard because I have been around coworkers who have lost a lot of weight, and when you have a lot to lose yourself its depressing, but, thats when you have to start somewhere right. I still have a lot to lose, I would really like to get down to 150lbs, but am definately not going to hit my goal by my 1 year aniversary in August, but thats OK. Thanks again everybody for your support!!!!!!
