I am happy to say that I have hit my 40lbs. lost milestone. I am so happy. I have been getting so many compliments on the new me, at work, church, and especially at home. My hubby is blown away at my transformation. I am loving this!!

Yaaa! Congratulations! You must feel so proud! Do you feel like it was a fast loss (love that surprised feeling you get when weighing yourself and see a loss!) or normal or slow? I see posts where people are so disappointed only losing like 10 pounds in a week-that's crazy! I should be so lucky! Keep up the good work, girl!

@Holly5.3, the weightloss started off fast, and now has slowed down. I lost 20 lbs. The first 2 weeks, then stalled 3rd and 4th week. Then started losing again, but slowly. I am happy regardless though. The compliments overshadow the stalls. I am feeling better about myself, and life in general. Before I was having all sorts of thoughts; such as; not being able to breathe in my sleep. Now, I sleep and wake up with ease. No more headaches every morning. My feet do not ache anymore. My hair is shedding, but I have worn weave for the last 15 years. So no one suspects a thing.lol

I figure the honeymoon will last about 2 weeks (don't they all!) then the weight loss will be more normal 1-2 lbs. My goal is 12-16 lbs. a month until I reach 200. - hopefully by mid-January. So I can be lower than my latest lowest (on Jenny Craig 2 yrs. ago)-207.
