6 months

Hi, I am six months out and feeling great, I have to make my 6 month follow up but at my allergey doctor I am down 100 pound very exciting. Only thing and would like input if anyone else feels this way. I don't notice the weight loss myself. People tell me everyday they can tell but when i look at myself i dont see it. I notice my clothing is huge on me and I am wearing jean I have not in years and years and they are huge. But when I look at myself I dont see a diffrents. Is anyone else having this problem?

I didn't notice either until about a month ago. I've lost 90 lbs. and am now under 200. I have now noticed things like collar bones, shins, and shoulders. I also found wrinkles in my face and varicose veins too but I should expect that at age 46! Everyone kept telling me that, but I couldn't see it either as I wasn't wearing clothes that fit. Now that I finally changed over to Goodwill wardrobe, I see more of a difference, but sizes are hard. For instance I am wearing a 14-16 top and a 18 pants. Last month I only lost 1 inch, but this month I lost 6, total of 97 inches. I had lost 1 1/2 in my waist this month, so I know it's going to go sometime. I have about 50 more to go. Best wishes and hang in there as you will see it soon!

I hit the 6 month mark yesterday. Had my check up with the doc. Waiting for blood work to come back but looks like I need to take iron. I look in the mirror and see a different person 70+ pounds gone forever. I have been retaining water the past month and now take water pills. Doctor has told me to drink more water (more than 110 ounces) a day. BP was 102/60 wow. I still wear an 18 pant and XL shirt. Want to be in 14 but will have to continue to work at it. Danielle - keep up the good work. Our body image issues do not resolve over night. I can cross my legs now and have water on both sides of me in the bath tub. Must be going somewhere. People tell me that I look different every time they see me. Must be working. have a great day - Sarah 266/192/140
