    This analogy really helps bring perspective to what's happening. Thank you!
    Ive lost about 20lbs..and some of my clothes are starting to get bigger..but I don’t really need a new size yet.. I really think part of it is b/c I was already so much BIGGER than the size I was wearing..so now I fit comfortably in my size..all though my shirts are a lil loose but I think a lot of them where a lil big to begin with.

    Great Motivation
    I started about 22 days ago and I love the story about the paper towels.
    You look great and I will think of this story each time I go to the center.
    Thanks so much for your input.

    I have lost about 15 lbs and really don't notice it much. I saw a reference to this paper towel analogy in another thread, and it really does make sense!

    Thanks for the bump to the top! I love this analogy! I have been stalling (due to my own fault) for about a month! But I am getting my game face on and going back the the basics I used as motivation in the beginning.

    = 5 pounds lost


    53 + INCHES LOST

    Thanks! I've lost 47 lbs and I couldn't tell either! Nobody has said a word to me . I started at 251, so it seems like somebody...ANYBODY...would notice!

    It makes me feel better seeing I'm not alone in this.
