This made me smile - last night I was coming out of the gym and a guy let me past on the stairs, when I said thanks his reply was that he'd only done it so he could look at my bum. Never before has anyone said that to me.

Might have been a bit cheeky but it made me smile and now I know my efforts are going towards the right areas - either that or he likes girls with a slightly larger bottom

That is definately an exciting feeling.. i luv thos moments too, however my hubby not so much that is when he turns and holds me a little tighter. men & their jealousy...lol

I've been wearing my way too big pants for several weeks now. I was hoping to go down one more size before I went shopping but I finally broke down and bought two new pairs of work pants. Suddenly everyone at work started noticing my weight loss, guess it had been hiding under my huge pants!!

Fantastic job!! My favorite nsv was going to Lane Bryant a few months ago looking for shorts, and the sales clerk asked if she could help. I told her what I was looking for & she said, "Honey, this is a plus size store, you won't fit in anything here." And she was right. I went to my car and cried. I remember when 22's from Lane Bryant were tight. Yesterday I bought a size 10 cargo pants from Kohls. In 10 months I went from a tight 22 to a 10.

I still struggle with self perception. I don't see what others see. Do you struggle with that?

Keep up the good work!!!

What a great feeling! Size 10! I can't wait. I'm only 1 size away!
Self perception is a big one for me, too. I feel like I don't see what my family sees. Sometimes I feel like my family is just SAYING these things to be nice to me or keep me motivated. Every once in a while I'll put on a shirt or a pair of pants though & I'll just be like... OH! I can see it! There it is! There's my weight loss! Other days I'll be like... man, I can't even tell.

It's tricky, but I try to keep my head up even if I can't really see it all the time.
