I need to buy new, smaller luggage because my clothes take up less space I have to get rid of perfectly good clothes when they've hardly been used When clearing out closet and drawers I find items I've purchased for when I lose weight that are too big I keep changing shoe size - 9w to 9 to 8.5 to 8...

I dropped from Obese Class III to Obese Class II today :-)

I hear you on the massage front! Massages' always give me a headache, I'm sure it is from chemicals. Water is definitely key. I need to go fill my glass again!

She's a toy poodle crossed with something we think is probably jack russell.

Thanks! I haven't yet had people who didn't know I'm dieting notice the loss, but I'm thinking that the next 20-30lbs might make people start realizing that I'm making a change. If I hadn't been watching the numbers myself or compared the photos side by side I wouldn't have thought the loss was close to 60lbs. I keep…

A practical suggestion - have you looked at your glass? an 8oz glass is actually pretty small. You may be counting how many times you fill your regular glass. If you can pour a whole can of soda (or more) in your glass it is probably a 12oz glass.
