OP.. Great job, keep up the good work!

I totally understand what you said about not seeing it yourself. I think that our eyes play tricks on us, i remember gaining weight and being shocked when i had to bump to the next size pants. i did not really "see" the difference in the mirror, almost like my perception of self was not adjusting. Once I got fat, and my mind got used to seeing the "big mike", that was my new normal. as i started to drop, I knew i was shrinking. I know that i went from a size 49 to a size 36 but I still look in the mirror and see "big mike". its actually quite fascinating to me from the science/perception standpoint, but I freely admit that I will be happy when my perception resets and I can really see what others are seeing. For now, I aid my faulty perception with my body weight and with measurements. I keep a spreadsheet with all major measurements, taken every friday. I also went to get a DEXA scan, with is the most accurate body composition test. It was very interesting to see the details of where I was, and I look forward to September, when I can get my repeat to see how far I have progressed.

You really should be proud, 89.9 pounds is simply amazing and it is a credit to your hard work and dedication.

WELL DONE!
