I am not sure...can you tell I have lost 30?

Hi all!

I just posted some pictures for you to view! It is cold here today so I had to wear a sweatshirt ...again! I am looking forward to getting rid of the bulky sweaters/sweatshirts!

So, this coming Tuesday will be my 6 week BANDIVERSARY and I am down 30 pounds! I am very excited about this! Although, I wish the fast loss will continue, I know that inevitably it will slow. I am okay with that as I am in this for the long haul.

I am seeing quite a few changes in my clothes but these jeans are STRETCHY!!! LOL!!

Sometimes you must wear STRETCHY PANTS!!

They are 18's but I know they STRETCHED to at least a 22!!

So, can you tell a little bit??

Have a good weekend all!

Connie

Yeah!!! CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE DOING GREAT!! HIPS AND FACE ARE SMALLER, SO EXCITING. KEEP IT UPI LOVE STRETCHY CLOTHES. I LOVE MY STRETCHY 18'S I DON'T CARE HOW FAR I STRETCH THEM

    


 

YAY!! You 2 are sweet!! I appreciate it!! 

Some days I can really tell and other days I feel like I am the same. I am sure you both can relate! Sometimes it is so hard to change our opinions of ourselves!! I put on another pair of pants tonight (non-stretchy) and they were loose! I am afraid they soon will find their way to a box for goodwill! My goal is to get through ALL of my clothes in my closet before I have to buy some new ones! It is kind of exciting "shopping" in your own closet!!

Thanks again! It makes me feel so good to know that I am changing...and POSITIVELY for once!!

You look awesome!  You can definately tell - love the new avatar picture.   I had to do a double take.  Keep up the good work
        
Wow, Connie the answer is YESSSSSSS!!! You are doing a great job and it SHOWS :)
Thanks for posting pictures, I have a similar body shape as yours and I am currently a size 18-20. I asked my dh last night to take before photos for me. I know sometimes you don't see your hard work but compared to the "old you" it is impressive. Just think what the next 30 lb weight loss photos will look like!!
..joy
     
Yes, yes, yes! Your trunk is smaller, too. Good job. Hope I can do as well.
Awesome!  You can totally tell.  Your face is way thinned out, and all over you can see that you are thinning right down.  I see an all over melt going on!  Nice job!
             
You can totally tell, way to go!
           
    
Congratulations - you are looking great!

Looking good Connie - NOT SO - tight pants! LOL!

Closet shopping has already begun for me! I cannot wait for May 2 to be here so I can take new pics and my measurements. Of course I gotta figure out how to get those pics on here. 

Doesn't it make you feel GREAT to pull out something you think might still be too tight and it fits like a glove? Keep up the good work!

YUP!!! You can tell!  Nice job!

I got a little frustrated (inside) because 1 person noticed when I had lost about 22 lbs., but no one else said anything again until I hit 50 lbs. lost.   So, don't get discouraged if that is the case for you... 50 lbs. seems to be the magic number when people start noticing.

Anyway, you're looking great!

Yes, I can tell like the others.  I am so happy for you.  You got your first 30 off and if you think you are seeing a difference now, just you wait.  You are doing really good...keep it up!!!
