Success Story Saturday

This isn't going to be a weekly thing... but since I'm taking my RRCA certification class this weekend in Dayton, I've prepared a post for today and tomorrow...

I've always loved looking at before and after weight loss photos, and the photos were something that motivated me while I was losing weight. I took a comparison picture every 10 pounds I lost, so that I could actually see the difference.

When I started doing Motivational Mondays on my blog, I started getting a lot of before and after pictures in my e-mail. Since Motivational Mondays are about short term goals and achievements, I thought it would be fun to put all of these before and after photos on one post.

Ready to be super inspired?!

If these photos aren't inspirational, then I don't know what is! I may be doing more posts like this in the future, so if you have before and after pictures you'd like to share, feel free to e-mail them to me with the subject "BA Photos". Editing pictures takes a LOT of time, so from now on, I will only be posting ones that are already put together like these ones are (side by side in collage format). Thanks for understanding!
