    wow, I see a huge difference!
    YOu must have measured wrong... your waist is so obviously smaller!

    You would think, right? So crazy. Plus, the waist band on all of my pants are huge now. I just don't know how I could've measured that wrong.

    Thank you so much!

    Wonderful changes! Congrats to you. You look great and I think you must feel better too!
    Looking forward to another picture post in 4 months.

    Me too! :O) I hope to see another significant amount of change... but above all, I am so happy to feel better physically and be able to do all of the things I love.

    It really isn't a secret. I have been overweight my entire life and I've lost good chunks in the past, however, I've always gone into it with the wrong mindset. In the past, I would tell myself that I wasn't allowed to have anything "bad," and that "someday" this would all be over and I could go back to "normal." But, what is normal for a person who's been fat her whole life? The reality is, I was starving myself to lose quickly, and it all just came back on. This time, I eat what I know I should most of the time, but if we go out to dinner on the weekend, I don't freak out if it's a pizza place or mexican food, etc. and just have a slice or get something somewhat reasonable off the menu. I haven't deprived myself of anything that I actually wanted... the trick is determining if I actually want it. :O) In addition, I work out a significant amount. I found a local kickboxing class that has done wonders for me, and I cycle quite a bit. Between the two, I get cardio and muscle training, and the combo seems to be working well.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it so very much.

    First of all....amazing! I totally get the not seeing it part. I have been on a now scale summer because the numbers were frustrating me. I am an addictive 'measurer' and would measure weekly, those numbers too were not changing or averaging a gain. Finally I started to compare pictures. Pictures are my life saver! Keep on taking pictures. For some reason my scale is the devil and my measuring tape a lier! But the camera, it is my best friend. Good luck you will continue and you will feel and look even more amazing than you feel already!
