    That is just incredible!! Congrats, you're rocking it! I'm 5'7" as well and a year ago I was 202. Today I'm 160 and it feels unbelievably awesome! :)

    Wonderful progress, especially in your stomach. A 3ish-pound loss per week is fast, so don't get disheartened if it slows down! You've come very far already and I hope you get down to your target weight :)

    Thank you everyone! :flowerforyou:

    The loss has def slowed down - I'm hitting about 1.5 lbs per week right now. Which is STILL GREAT and HEALTHY.

    Its hard to believe that I'm only a few pounds away from my first major goal of losing 10% of my starting weight!

    I too am 5'7", but I have a lot more too lose than you, and I can't wait to get to where you are...isn't it so hard to believe what a difference 17lbs makes???? I am down 11 right now and I can tell a major difference in myself even though other people don't notice yet. You are a great inspiration!

    It is absolutely amazing how fast the last six weeks went - and I feel like I am transforming every single day.

    Thank you all so very much! :bigsmile:

    I really appreciate all of the encouragement - I do take weekly progress pictures and I can see a slight difference from week to week even.
