I had to lose 151 lbs to get to the "top" of my healthy weight range. That is so mortifying to admit, even here. I have been exercising and counting calories for 46 days and have lost 35 lbs! I went to a family gathering recently ready to feel "good" about my loss, but I think felt more obese recognizing even with this loss, I still way overweight and uncomfortable in my own skin. I long for the day I feel "normal" and even more when I feel fit. I also plateaued all last week, so especially discouraged. I decided to face it head on and bumped up my exercise intensity and cut more calories and even moved from other tracking website to this one with hopes of finding support through a community of people trying to lose, as well. That is something my old site did not have. My goal is to feel healthy even if not perfect by my twin sons 5th birthday at the end of January. Anyway, anyone else losing fast but discouraged by how bad they still feel or is it just me? Also, I have like 2 pairs of pants I dug out of storage that fit me and have no money to buy anything more. I am thankful for these pants as I felt they were gifts from God, but long to be a size 4 again where I have a whole wardrobe and ready to throw out my size 22 wardrobe!
