I know what you mean about looking in the mirror, seems like it takes our mind a little longer to catch up. Just yesterday I was eating lunch at work and having my usual serving of cottage cheese. My coworker asked "don't you get tired of eating that, you have it almost everyday"? My reply was "no I love it". LOL. couldn't have said that a year ago.

I totally get it, congratulations!!

That's awesome! I understand how you feel. Last year I bought awesome Timberland riding style boots and they were too tight to go the last 1/4 inch. A few weeks ago, I dusted them off and.. they zipped all the way! Congratulations!

Yay!!! Me too I bought 2 pair! One black one brown! Great nsv!!!

Me too. And I wear them every day. Just because I can. We rock!

Eight months out here and 14 more lbs to go for my personal goal, according to IBW charts I have 20 more. I think, I will just take what comes from here stop getting on the scale every day and hope for the best. Congrats to you all and a toast to health!

I'm 6 months out on Thursday and have had some seriously big changes within the last 6-8 weeks so losing is very very slow indeed. I am just now getting settled in a new place and hope to jump start my losing again. I have 43 lbs to go.

I know this last 20 lbs is going to crawl off of me, but it WILL come off. 80 lbs is amazing-congratulations! Reflect on how far you have come and stay the course. You will get there!

Thank you! You also.

I use the word way instead weigh because all this has become a way of life for me now.
