Due to the extreme heat of late, I haven't been able to get out and walk as much as I would like (I've done a few 'mall walks', but it's not the same to me). Finally, this week, I was able to do my longest walk to date. But the heat's supposed to come back this weekend.

Now I can finally say that I've broken into the 200's for the first time in 10 years! I was about 280 when I was pregnant with my first child in 1999 (he just turned 11 this past week), and never came back down.

I honestly don't see a change myself, but several others have said they can see some loss, especially in my mid-section (where my surgical spots are).

Looking forward to seeing the 250's!!

Wahoo! Well done! Will be a while before I get to the Two-derlands, but I know it will come.

Gotta love these small victories!

When i weigh myself I still say i'm 260 instead of 160, can't get my head around the 100 number. Weird eh.

Boy, it's so sweet, isn't it! That was a biggie for me too and was the first time I actually began to think - no, believe, that this was going to work. I noted your comment about not being able to see the difference although others can. I went through the exact same thing and was in fact a little worried about it. Was there something wrong with me? Pleased to report the about 10 days ago I really began to SEE the change. I'm 5 months out and down 125lbs - you"d think it would have kicked in earlier, but for me it didn't. Congrats, and enjoy your success. Claire
