I saw my abs for the first time in my life today!

My entire life I have been chunky and out of shape. I was always given trouble by my P.E. teachers and got bad grades because I struggled to keep up. A few things motivated me to start losing weight and working out about 8 months ago. The stars aligned, you could say. My family had a weight loss bet, my insurance sent me a scale that sent my weight to an app every day (with a live human keeping touch with me on my progress) and sent me reminders if I didn't do it and I also had to record what I was eating. These factors helped me make it into a habit and allowed me to shed 40 pounds.

I was feeling a bit discouraged last week because the stubborn fat on my stomach is clinging for dear life and I have been pushing to have a six pack by doing 100 crunches daily and sets of leg raises, but then today, I saw a glimpse of them while changing in the bathroom. I quickly grabbed my phone to use the camera, laid on my back and flexed as hard as I could and I saw them! There was a distinct line down the center of my stomach and a vague outline of where they're forming. I'm just excited as all hell for it.

Don't give up. Even when it seems like it's not doing anything. It is. You're still making progress. Weight loss never happens as fast as we want it to, but we got this!
