Hello all,

Well my body has finally realized that something is different now. There were a few weeks where it seemed like I was going to lose so slowly. My body has finally accepted that something is different with how I eat and I am dropping weight more quickly. I do my official weigh-ins on mondays but I'm not gonna lie, I weigh myself throughout the week as well. Maybe one day I will no longer be a slave to the scale. We'll see. I put on a tshirt yesterday that is usually a little snug and when I looked in the mirror yesterday I was like hey, its not sticking to my tummy, its actually a little loose. I am so excited and happy. My weight was becoming an issue in my marriage because my husband new how unhappy I was weighing so much and now he senses that i'm happy so its a lot less stress. Thank you everyone for all of your continued support.

Slow loser??? You've lost 62 lbs in 5 weeks????

Hot damn!

I'm glad things are better for you and the hubby, that's great. Did you lose all that weight in 5 weeks? :thumbup: That's seriously amazing. WTG.

WOW! I have found 3 ways to measure my success - the scale, measurements, and the way my clothes look. I too weigh everyday since I track it to see patterns. But, I try not to lose heart and little ups and downs since I have other things to measure against.

Last night, I tried on a new pair of shorts I bought. I could not believe the thin woman looking back at me in the mirror. It was like seeing me in high school again (well, minus the gray hairs and the facial wrinkles LOL). WOW! What a great feeling. I'm sure you were the same seeing your t-shirt being lose. Isn't it AWESOME?!?!?!?

Congratulations on your great results!! Don't forget to take measurements!! Inches make a huge difference too!! :thumbup:
