I am so pleased with my appearance! I noticed my stomach doesn't look as huge, and my hips are sinking in! I feel so much more energetic! I still have at least 50 pounds to go and I'm praying that i can wear a bikini for the first time this summer. My younger sister/mom asks me..when do you think you can wear a bikini? "I hope by this summer" Everyone notices i look good and the more compliments i get the better i feel!

    It took me awhile to finally see what everyone else sees but now I am so pleased with what I see. I really like myself in my size 10 jeans!! I can't even remember being a size 10, LOL.

    I have a long way to go but am pleased at my result so far. I noticed I looked a little leaner then took measurements and confirmed it! Encouraging comments from friends help too.

    My GW is 140, but if at 150 im pleased..ill maintain there. :)
  • Saturday night my husband and I went out...they were charging a cover at the door and neither of us had cash. I stayed with the doorman while he found the ATM machine. It was the first time in almost 20 yrs I was able to get into a size 16 (coming from a 24). When husband walked away I noticed a table full of 20something menfolk checking this gal out :)

    Yeah, I was pleased. Very pleased that I'm not the only one noticing anymore.

    Congrats to you!!!
  • I hadn't seen a friend in about 2 months and I saw him today and he said "Your face is soooo skinny"
    That made my day and pushed me to work harder. I've also noticed a change when I look in the mirror, mostly in my waist and hips!! Pretty awesome!!

    I was floored when I found a beautiful cocktail dress in a normal store the other night. It clicked - I've gone from a size 24 to a size 14 in 6 months and I couldn't be more proud of myself. Something I can honestly say that I haven't felt in years :)

    i wish i felt that way. I feel a difference in my clothes but not when i look in the mirror. still see the fat persona nd looking for the skinnier me. it annoys me because my clothes i see the difference but in my appearence I don't

    OK so my moment wasn't so much my looking in the mirror as it was seeing my boyfriend saw me after three weeks of intense work outs (and not huge numbers but a lot of body composition changes). What his eyes said when he saw me was more than anything else... beyond words!
  • i do like the mirror these days. we have been working on my photo hard drive (backing up all my photos and organizing) Husband has shown me pictures from the past years. wow! i can't believe the difference. i'm thankful that i have his support. he has also nicknamed me Arnold...as in the govenator of California. i laugh every time he says it.

    cheering you on! together we will be healthier!

    My biggest love is my jeans...If I relied on the mirror, LOL! That would not be good...bad hair days and all that jazz!! But my jeans are my sure fire way of saying, boo yah! We did it! :o) Not that my jeans did anything. They just laid there and did nothing while I glared at them until they fit me! :o)
