      20 pounds in 4 months is something to be very proud of. Thats 5 pounds a month and a little over a pound a week. you are losing weight in a healthy way. Keep on going, ur doing great!! :)

      That's better than my goal weight loss of 1 lb per week and is, IMHO, completely freaking awesome!!! Weight taken off slowly stays off better than weight that melts away according to studies =)

      20 LBS IS GREAT! I know it's been said before but just go to the store and pick up 2 10lb sacks of potatos and you'll see just how much 20lbs is. Also DO TAKE MEASUREMENTS! I have only lost 17lbs so far but I have lost 3" from my hips, 3" from my tummy and various inches from my legs, neck and arms. You're doing great though! keep it up :)

      Thats pretty amazing! keep it up! good pace :-) but just remember that as you lose more, your loss will probably slow down in pace, because you will have less to lose
