    I TOTALLY understand the whole "The me in pictures is not what I see in the mirror, so I guess I just don't photograph well" denial. I had it too. I looked in the mirror and although my legs were big and my boobs and *kitten* were huge and I had those annoying love handles, I really did not think I was that bad, until I saw an evil scale.... I decided I'd get on it for fun after christmas to brag that I couldn't gain weight. (For some reason I thought there was a limit on my body around 160, which is still big for a 5'2 girl) unfortunately that reality was realized when I saw it say 170... Say what?! After that I looked at pictures I took and I was always looking very chubby unless it was just a face picture or I smiled perfectly.... I had ways of fooling the camera when I took pictures of myself, so even in some before pictures I don't look that big. That's why I use the one on my avatar. It is the real me I never saw in the mirror until AFTER I started losing weight. NOW I GET IT!

    Congrats by the way you look beautiful! <3:bigsmile:

    I too can't wait till the day I get back in Onderland and no longer have to shop the plus sizes. When I tell people I can't wait to be back in 'Onderland' they look at me like I'm crazy cause they have no clue what that means. haha Its been a long time since I've been in the 100's and look forward to that day. I'm just getting started but it will eventually happen for me. You hang in there too cause I'm sure you will reach Onderland and stop having to shop plus sizes too.

    WOOOOOOW!!!! You are such an inspiration!!

    " If I don’t lose another single pound, that is ok too. I have other goals that have become more important than the scale."

    This is exactly how I feel. I have about 30 pounds to go to get to the goal I set for myself, but at this point my focus is becoming less the actual number, and more *look how far I've come*!

    Congrats to you, pretty lady! :flowerforyou:
