Well, after a long month, my weight finally budged and I lost over 5 pounds in a week. The plateau was weird, as I continued to see my arms and stomach shrink, but with this sudden loss in weight, my belly has really flattened. Must be water. At month 4, my appetite has continued to decrease, but I'm feeling great. I actually went out in just jeans and a T-shirt yesterday -- the first time ever without a shirt to cover up my butt -- and it felt great!

Continuing to lose fat, but not much movement on the scale. In spite of that, just a doughnut of fat around my belly button and a two-inch wide ring around my hips. It's really fun to watch the way the fat leaves my body -- so different in shape than when I was packing it on and looked so blubbery. I actually was able to pull down my size 14 pants without even unbuttoning them first. All right, admittedly, I had worn them for a couple of days, but still!

Love your energy. You are going to do some amazing things with this attitude!

Finally dropped below 190! It has taken forever, but as usual, my dress size keeps getting smaller in spite of it all. Am tossing out more saggy clothes and starting to wear tight-fitting things. Skin is tightening up on my upper arms and stomach, so happy days.

Today's my two-month sleeve anniversary! Yay! From size 20W to 14, and I'm feeling so much better. Back and knees and feet don't hurt, old clothes are getting tossed, closet is nice and clean... and pretty soon I'll run out of my "skinny" clothes and go shopping for the new me. So exciting!
