WOW! I looked at your pictures and all I can say is WOW! Congratulations on the weight loss. You were very smart to use the same clothes-it really accentuates the loss. Keep up the good work, you will be at your goal weight in no time.

Hi Kelly. I'm looking forward to hitting goal, but expect that my loss will slow down a bunch soon. I don't care, because already I feel so much better. I just looked at your photos n your profile. Lookin' good yourself chica!! A 66 lb loss is awesome, and yoou must be beyond that now.

Hey Mike, you look wonderful..... I bet you feel great too. Keep up the good job, you'll make it to goal soon. Take care, Bobbie

Hi Bobbie! I've been wondering about you and ywhere you went. You never call home any more So glad you checked in though. I didn't see updated info on your profile so send me a PM or somethin'. Hope all is well and that you are happy with your progress. Mike

Wow!!! You have done an awsome job!!!! Can you really tell the difference looking at yourself? I can't tell much by looking at myself. I feel different, my clothes are looser, and people who haven't seen me in a few months are so surprised when they see me. I get on every scale I see, b/c I feel like maybe mine is wrong. hahahaha. I am proud of myself though. I was just wondering if other people have the same self image problems. But, honestly you look fabulous! Keep up the great work! Stacy

Hi Stacy. Thanks for the kind words. You better be pproud of the 55+ lbs you've lost! That is a great start for 3 months. Yes, I can tell just looking at myself that I've lost a lot of weight. I wish more of it had come from around my stomach, but I'll take what I can get! When I was at your loss, I could not 'see' it as much either. The next 30 lbs showed up big time visually and with clothes. About 10 days ago I had to donate nearly everything in my closet to Salvation Army. I was down to wearing 6-7 year old stuff that had been in the every back. After the SA drop-off, I bought *just enough* clothes to get me through a couple of months. By then, the stuff I bought won't fit either (I hope). Hard to ignore the changes when you spend a few hundred bucks on a **temporary** wardrobe! Know what I mean? You hit on something key with the image problem question you raise. Most of us have severe self image and self esteem issues. Mike
