My progress has been fast and slow.
I am still overweight. BUT, I am not gaining more weight. I have lost 8 lbs.. I have lost lots and lots of inches too. And I have gained tons of muscles. I can bench press 20 lb dumbbells in each hand (15 reps 3x). I can run 10 minute mile for 20 minutes and then workout on other machines/lift/etc. (when I started my mile was 14 minutes, today I can do 1 mile at an 8 min mile pace). I don't ache as much as I did.
I love working out. I love being strong. I love definition. I love the high I get from it. I love that my husband supports me a ton - I always have to show off my muscles to him and he pays attention, and tells me I'm strong and it makes me laugh. I still have 30 lbs to go. And I'm going to get there. But, today I am relishing in the fact that I am STRONG!
