Progress Report- Week 25

My editing software hasn't been working for several weeks now, and so I haven't been making progress report videos.  I really think I need them to help keep me on track. So I've decided to put my progress stats and pictures here on my blog every few weeks.

Here are comparisons of my intro video from YouTube and today's stats:

Although I feel that the progress is very slow and sometimes get discouraged, I do see progress.  I have to keep a positive outlook and remember why I am doing this: fighting back against obesity, heart disease, diabetes and depression.  I usually gain a lot this time of year and the fact that I am maintaining or even losing a little keeps me optimistic about the months ahead. 

I will meet my health and fitness goals. "Slow and steady wins the race"...
