Great Post!!! No, it is NOT superficial to know your back will improves some as weight comes down...just recognizing fact. And some days, SUCCESS is simply doing what we know is on the plan EVEN tho we do not FEEL like it...and unfortunately sometimes EVEN THO we do not have any "results" to SHOW...I hear the determination in your post...Keep Climbing, you will get there...and keep coming here to let Buddies help. Have a THOUGHTFUL Thursday...AND you are!!!!! :)
