    You look fabulous! And the reason YOU aren't seeing the weight loss in the mirror is because your brain is trained to see someone they aren't/haven't been happy with. I know that I'll be the same way when I can see the loss in pictures, but look in the mirror and still see a fat, unhealthy woman. :)

    Keep your chin up...and keep at it! You are looking fabulous...and will only continue to look more fabulous the more you lose! ^_^

    *hugs*

    You look fabulous! Be proud of what you have accomplished!

    Also, our brains are REALLY good at deceiving us about what we look like (among many other things). I am constantly reminded of the woman I worked with in 1976. She was so proud of the fact that she weighed only 76 pounds but still thought she was fat! Her brain saw a fat person when she looked in the mirror. She looked like a concentration camp victim- or worse. So keep that in mind when you look into a mirror and see a fat person! Trust your friends, photos (somehow that helps us distance from the image), people here, your doctor, the measuring tape, the scale to a point, but not your brain.

    You shouldn't be embarrassed, but PROUD!!! You've accomplished so much and you're an inspiration! I have a lot to lose (at least 80more) and it really inspires me to see success stories from people who have lost a lot!

    I totally understand. I too am about halfway to goal...I know my ticker says differently, but I need to update my goal when I reach this first one. I feel proud of myself for fleeting seconds but the majority of the time...no.

    Awesome job! Congrats on your success.

    Thanks for posting! I really appreciate it! I can definitely see the difference! Except for the fact that you are younger than me, your starting info is much like mine (down to the starting haircut!). For me it's like seeing what can be if I stick to it-like looking in the mirror 50 lbs from now!

    Really, thank you for posting!

    Thank you so much for posting your success. It gives me hope that maybe I actually can loose the 85lbs I need to, to become in the 'healthy weight zone'.
