Got my first 'HOLY you're losing weight" today

Took 33lbs lost, AND it felt great! I feel so much more confident, everyday it gets better. I have this extra bounce in my step, I find myself smiling more, and just being more outgoing and friendly in general. Just a happier version of me.
I've been in a weight loss stall for the past 10 days, and you know what, that's TOTALLY fine! I am sticking to the plan, not obsessing, and I know it will happen when its ready to happen.
I'm looking at the big picture. 33lbs in less than a month is AMAZING TO ME.

Thanks! I still don't notice any weight loss, but my feet and knees certainly don't hurt as much throughout the day :D

I feel happier! Thank you! Soon will be your time Jax!
Congratulations, and enjoy your NSV! Also, get used to it, you'll be hearing it a lot more, and for a good long time to come! I have been the same weight now for a good year after losing between 150-160 lbs, and yet I STILL get comments occasionally, especially from people I don't see very often, and even from people who have seen me this weight before but for some reason mistakenly think I have lost even more since they last saw me.
I'm also glad to hear that you're not obsessing about the scale not moving for a few days. That's perfectly normal too. :)

That's a tremendous loss! Congrats to you!!! Even though I don't yet notice my loss, I do notice my mood has hugely improved, and I just feel better about myself overall.
I hope to have your success with it one day!
The weight loss IS amazing - much more to come! Big pictures are always easier to see ;)

Thanks Karen! I'm always focusing on the big picture! And even though I really can't notice the weightloss, yet, I imagine hauling around three bags of 10lb potatoes with me, that puts it into perspective for me.
Isn't it awesome to feel lighter and more mobile? It rocks! 33lb in a month is a lot, my first month I only lost 20 so you are on fire imho. Keep up the good work!
