Thanks for all the compliments, everyone!!
Pete posted this while I was at work today and it wasn't until I saw the before and after pics tonight that I realized just how far I've come! When you look in the mirror you just don't see it the same way, know what I mean?!?! 
Well, I still have 6 more weeks before I finish my cycle. I'll post more pics towards the end.
Thanks again for the kind words and encouragement!
It's supposed to be hard! If it was easy, everyone would do it! It's the "hard" that makes it great!
