I was doing my best to stay in good spirits today since I didn't lose any lbs. (still at 260.2) but I have lost inches (6" total body in the past 4 weeks). It's a struggle to get dressed in the morning because my body is getting so different and a new wardrobe every few months isn't in the cards for me. Today, right before I left work, a co-worker who had been on vacation stopped across the room and was staring at me. She's kind of absent minded so I just smiled at her then she said, "Oh! Ohhhhhhhhhh! Amanda.... I didn't recognize you" and she held up her hands about shoulder width and then scooted them closer together and mouthed "You Look SOOOOO Skinny!!!!" Everyone can see it... everyone is getting to see a glimpse of the real me that I've been trying to hide.

    Fantastic job, keep up you will get to where you want to be & feeling wonderful.
    Great job in the inches dept. I have been at it 3 months tomorrow & have lost 8 inches. You are a power house!
    With the inches coming off people so recognize the difference in us. I too started fretting saying the "darn scale isn't going down", but, I am looking different, things are shifting:-)
    Have a wonderful rest of the week!!

    Congrats! I know thats an awesome feeling! dont get dicouraged over lbs you might be losing inches. From Feb. of this year to Aug. I lost only lost 25 lbs, but I dropped from a size 10 to a 2-4. From beginning to now Ive lost 6 ft 4 in total in just my torso area Chest waist abs and butt. It isnt a plateau if you are losing inches. so if you havent measured do that. and take photos. Also just to let you know I did not go on a diet I did a total lifstyle change food activity and attitude. I told everyone I was fat on when I turned 40 but I was gonna be fabulous when I turned 41. Well I was 240 on my 40th and 147 on my 41st. Nothing stood in my way! Good luck and Im here for ya!
