My weight is doing this up, up, down thing the past month or so. So this morning, I was up 0.4 lbs. from last week, which was up from the week before.

Oh honey. I so completely understand what ur saying. My highest was 409. I'm now holding steady around 225, only 3 lbs less then my 9 month checkup. I know that every time I look in the mirror I also see the old me. Legs, stomach, arms all look just as huge to me as they did a year ago and the only thing smaller that I can see is my face also and I have collar bones that stick out. And so agree about the hubby thing. He always tells me how great I look and he would be thrilled if this is all I lose. His biggest fear from the beginning was I would become a stick and he likes that I still have a little 'meat' left on me. I have my down days. I want that scale to say one something. That was my goal all along. just to get to 199 would make me the happiest and I'm still hoping to get there. One day at a time. But when the scale ticks me off, I just put on my new size 14 shorts and it makes me feel much better. I have come a long way from size 32 that I was wearing a yr ago. We can still do it. But we saw the change everyday. It makes sense that we don't see the difference like others do. Kind of wished I didn't look in the mirror for a year so I could go "OMG LOOK AT YOU!" We do look great and have come a long way, but yes we still have a long way to go. Just something you can try. I took my before pics and 9 month pics from the dr and put them on top of each other and held them in the light. I was finally able to see the difference then when you can see just how much bigger those before pics stick out compared to the current one. It helped me start to see the difference. Plus, why not try taking your tape measure and put it around you at the measurement you were a yr ago. I couldn't believe I was that huge. But trust me, you don't look like crap.

Whoooooa girl! You are approaching a loss of 200lbs! CONGRATULATIONS! Jean
