I've seen a few people this week who hadn't seen me in a while. A couple of them totally "ignored" me which was a shock to me, until they looked at me again and said "I didn't recognize you!" That's pretty darn neat. About the self-confidence... well, I've always had good self-esteem (sure, I had my moments, but mostly I've been happy with myself and my life), and thought was self-confident, but I'm hearing from people at work and in my personal life that I seem to walk and act with more self-confidence, so I guess there's that too Oh, and dudes are checking me out again... hadn't happened in a loooooooooooooong time... so... there's THAT too ;)

I most definitely can relate. I was going through the same thing. Going back to the old habit of "I'm bored, what can I munch on?". I had to have a serious conversation with myself having lost 0 pounds in 4+ weeks. I've regrouped and started over with the right habits. We have to be strong of mind... it's vital. I've lost 4 pounds and I feel I'm back on the right track. Check out the second NEW link on my site. This article helped me IMMENSELY!!! Good luck to you!!! http://www.geocities.com/tiger_angie/

I have lost 143lb. as of Thursday, 1/27. Had a 19 day plateau and then lost 6 lb. this week. I'm sure I'll hit another plateau soon, that seems to be a pattern for me. Amy

I also never measured so I try to envision a tennis ball and keep it to that size. My doctor said to get in 60g protein minimum and about 800 calories (consisting of protein and good carbs) Amy
