Finally, some good news!!
Hey everyone! 
I finally have some good news to share, and I am relieved and excited. 
First, MY STALL HAS BROKE!!! I am losing again and I want to thank everyone for their help and suggestions. I am so glad that the scale is moving again....
Next, I have a WOW moment ~ okay, there are a few.... I can cross my legs!!! When I am sitting down, I can cross my legs!! I have not done that in many years.... what a feeling. The next one is that when I went back to work on Monday, I had to park far down in the parking lot.... I walked all the way to the door without huffing and puffing or being out of breath.... again, years since I could do that!! And the last WOW moment from work.... We have these chairs in our conference rooms at work that have armrests on them and they were the most uncomfortable things ever. My hips and butt "flowed out" and I felt like I was sooooo squeezed into it. I now can sit in those chairs and not feel so squeezed in and felt more comfortable. That was a great feeling.
OK the last WOW moment is kind of a question for all the ladies out there.... Have you noticed more attention from guys yet? I have and I am having mixed feelings on it.... Yeah, I like the new attention and I am having a little bit of fun with this.... but on the other hand, it's a little intimidating since it's happening so quick. I knew to expect it, but it really is happening a lot earlier than I anticipated. I have 2 best friends that happen to be guys.... and they are already noticing and as my other friend pointed out, seeing me in a whole new way.... and I met a guy at work that sits 2 seats over from me (he got moved there while I was gone) and he has been flirting non-stop since I came back on Monday. I am flattered, don't get me wrong, but is anyone else experiencing this? How are you handling this?
Thanks all and I hope that everyone has a great day!!

Congrats on breaking your stall and on your great WOW moments!! I cannot wait until I can comfortably cross my legs again...it's been SO LONG!
As for the guy thing, this weekend I got dressed up in my new size 18 jeans and a cute tank and jacket on top, and I felt great about myself, which caused me to notice a lot of men in the bar we went to watching me and smiling at me and making eye contact, and some casual flirting was going on. Since I was there with my BF I was able to just let that attention feel good but know that I was there with him. The best compliment was my BF telling me how great I looked. Anyway, I think part of it is the actual weight loss and the other part of it is how much more confidently I carry myself now that I'm losing and don't feel as much like a big fat hefer! I definitely think guys are attracted to confidence!
