Wow what a great feeling
A month ago I decided to loss weight. I have lost 21.4 pounds
Yesterday I put on an outfit that I haven’t worn in a long time. When i put it on and looked in the mirror and wow I looked really good
What a great feeling.

    I can not believe how good I feel.
    I didn’t think losing weight would make me feel this good

    So when did you start noticing a change? I walk 30 minutes and burn 300 ish calories, try to stay within 1200 calories a day and started a week ago. When can I expect a difference?

    I’ve lost 55lbs since August and it took me three months before I could see the change with my own eyes. After that the changes seemed rapid. The first person noticed after 40lbs lost and then a bunch more noticed at 50lbs gone.

    I took a break from trying to loss. For 3 months I just maintain the weight I was at.
    I have started to try to loss more. This time is little harder. As of today I have lost 8.6 pounds.

    I’m getting close to my end on the phase that I work really hard to lose. I’m CW162.6
    So not bad.
    Then I will work on maintaining this weight for 4 months.
    After that I will decide if I need to work at it again.

    Today made me feel good.
    I was at work, I talk care of apartment build with elderly residents.
    I was visiting with a resident and her daughter . Her daughter told me that I look amazing. And ask if I lost weight. I said yes
    She was the first person to say . I look great.
    Then when I was around a few other residents they also said I look great.

    Made me feel good
