Any encouragement would be welcomed. I don't feel any prettier.

you look fantastic! you are really pretty, and you have great style. that belt looks awesome- check out that waist!
congratulations!

You look sensational! Congrats on your success thus far! We are our biggest critics, sometimes I still see myself with my old body. It takes some getting used to. I think you look great!

To be fair, you were pretty to start with!

However:

You have an amazing shape emerging: A waist! An Hourglass! Fantastic.
and
You seriously look 20 years younger in the latest photo. Honestly, in the first one you look a pretty matron, now you look a pretty girl.

Congratulations on the half-way mark!

Awesome!! Congrats

The problem with being pretty is that you're...well, *pretty* at any weight. So, as the pounds go away (and man, you've lost some pounds!), pretty people just stay...pretty.

But I bet you have tons more energy now, right? And pretty people? With tons of energy?

They rule the world.

Thanks for all your compliments. I'm gonna try 30 Day Shred. I'll post thirty days later!

Congrats! I love your style too!
I think you look AWESOME!

nice work! you look great

Congratulations!

what's extremely frustrating is I'm still wearing about a size 14/16, and most people at my weight wear much smaller clothes. SIGH.

I don't know what your talking about... you look GREAT!!! Plus you were pretty to begin with.. don't be so hard on yourself, you look beautiful And I love that dress!
