Sorry to be a debbie downer this afternoon but IM MAD!!! I dont get it??? I have lost 40#s on this diet this past summer and not one person that i have seen has even commeted on my looks. NONE! Its like...what gives? Ive gone from a freaking size 24 and a 4x down to a 2x and almost into a size 18 pants and no one notices?????? I even said to a group of people i know, yesterday, "I lost 40#s" and NOT ONE said anything after that...Like Hello!!! I dont get it...Do i just not look any different??? I would think after losing 40#s that i would look at least a little different..How much longer till other people notice??? Seriously...
Sorry for the rant..im just upset and angry. I feel like ive worked sooooo hard to lose weight and yet no one else notices..and even though i notice, i still want others to notice too..I feel so discouraged like "whats the point?" Yes im happier about how i feel..but it matters to me what other people think of me too..I want to look attractive to other people..I want to be known as the pretty one.
ok port....some tough love here...
YOU know you've lost it....thats what is important. after all, you're doing this for YOU!! right?????
it took me hitting the 75 pounds plus gone, before people started noticing and commenting.
i know its nice when someone notices because it is a lot of hard work and effort to lose...still...you need to search your heart and ask yourself, why are you doing this??? if you are saying to yourself WHATS THE POINT....just because someone else is not noticing...then you really need to shift your focus.
stop fretting, and just keep doing what you know you should be doing.
Okay, I just finished my 4th weight lifting session, and now I'm sitting down to a mocha chocolate frozen protein drink. Is it so bad that one of the reasons I enjoy lifting weights is that I get to drink the mocha chocolate drink after it?
I go and workout some days just o I can have an extra protein pack:s lol.

Hello everyone! Late saying hi, but work was madness. Tomorrow is my first day, and I am getting everything ready. I was wondering, you who put the spinach in your morning shake, does it matter which flavor? I never thought to notice if there was a particular flavor it is good in. Hope everyone has a wonderful evening
Im just a little slow so Good Afternoon!!! Today is my 2nd day without diet coke. I am proud to say I have not growled at anyone!!!! Yay Me! The lettuce wrap tacos sounds wonderful. I am making those for dinner tommorrow. Tonight is my sushimi night
Yay for kicking Diet Coke. I went from 4 20oz sodas a day to nada for going on 5 weeks now. I was so grumpy when I couldn't get my favorite flavor. Now I'm free of that obsession. Happy Happy Dance - you can lick this, too!
Ok, since it is a reunion-of-sorts of we "old people," I'll chime in. Haven't posted in many months, but have been lurking occasionally. Still OP, but have really hit a stall the last three weeks. Doesn't really matter, because I am loving how I feel, and am willing to go the long haul. MLucas-- weren't you the famous person who coined the term "cookie bakin?"

My Michigan friend, you're back and yes, mlucas started the famous cookie baking. All these newbies don't know about that and it's sort of died off lately.
Glad to see you're OP and doing well. Hear it's really getting fall and chilly in your neck of the woods. Hope to be up the first week in November to get the cottage ready to be winterized.
Good Morning Everyone!
Just wanted to say HI! And Im BACK! LOL I've been away for a LONG time. But I'm Healthy now, got everything pretty much figured out, been tested, poked and prod, diganosed on a med here a med there... Were good to go! LOL Oh and I started Physical Therapy for my back and knee's so working on that too! Figured with all the testing and MRI's met my dedct... might as well get everything else done too huh! LOL So, i'm so excited to be back OP!! Today is the end of my 1st week and my 1st WI and i'm down 4.1 I didnt expect a huge loss since I've pretty much stayed on P3 and Maintance while MIA so, 4.1 is awesome. But I am in 1derland and that makes me super happy!
So hope everyone has a fabulous day! Cheers! xo
Awesome! Glad to see you back!! I have been lurking more that posting, but I have pretty much done that all along my journey. I just realized that I am pretty much at the original goal I had set for myself, and only 20 lbs. from goal!! I am going to go 5 lbs. less to allow for some gain. I am so glad to have 3FC, I have learned so much and gotten so much motivation!

Molly, thx for the welcome--good to see your doing well. Michigan is so pretty this time of year-- hope you get to enjoy it year around soon. It's the Jan- March that can really get painful. You're trying to move up here, and I am trying to figure out how to get outta here (only for few months).

I like the ready to drink chocolate with spinach. Also add a splash of WF caramel syrup.
Good luck on you first day!
