    Girlfriend - if you can't see the difference, you need a new mirror! You have done incredibly well and it shows! Keep up the good work! You look wonderful!

    Thanks guys....you have no idea how delighted, excited and motivated I am to receive these compliments. I know I have mirror issues, but through sites like this and awesome people around me, I know I will get to goal and look awesome soon. Some tips I have learnt along the way:

    1. we all know it but small meals frequently works better
    2. Water is your bestest pal - I have only just nailed this through using a sports cap bottle and adding ginger / mint or fruits to water. I only drink water, tea and coffee and very occasionally a natural fruit cordial. No alcohol, soda's (diet ones are your worst enemy)
    3. Consistent exercise you love - until injuring my back, I loved power walking, weights, insanity and was just about to start Zumba. Looking forward to resuming in a month or so.
    4. Have close MFP friends who you engage with daily / frequently - be supportive.

    Once again, thank you so much guys...if any of you want to share my journey and are serious about fitness (not just weight loss), don't hesitate to buddy with me.

    There is a difference for sure!

    I didn't catch how tall you are, but I'm 5'7" and also started at 245lbs. People who knew I was losing would say things and encourage me but it wasn't until I hit about 195 that casual aquaintences worked up the nerve to broach the topic. (Think little old ladies pulling you aside to whisper in your ear, "Are you losing weight? You look fabulous!" ).

    Also, did you still have a piece of clothing you kept from when you were at 245? Put it on....you'll see the difference!

    Keep up the good work girlie!

    ^^ this definitely see if you have any old clothes...i did this and was amazed. I look in the mirror and do not see a difference :( put on clothes from before..and WOW :)

    Amazing job!!!
