TxBrittany - Measuring is a great idea. Sometimes, you can take up less space without losing weight. If my weight loss is slowing down, I try to tell myself that I'm still losing FAT even if the scale doesn't show it.

BabyBrownEyes - Congrats on your 45 pound loss... you're doing so well at this and so close to your mini goal.

lumifan4ever - thanks for the congrats... and yeah, chin shrinkage is amazing! Isn't it nice to finally like your smile again? I didn't like smiling pics of myself at my HW because they made me look even bigger, but I can finally say my double chin is mostly gone now. Whew!

Ooh, so speaking of facefat, I did a little experiment:
I took a pic of myself at 175 (smiling) and then compared it to one I took today (at a potential 159) also smiling. They are essentially the same pic at the same angle with a same color shirt, but in the second, my double chin is gone, my neck is thinner (and therefore looks longer), and I can see my collarbones again.

WOW!!! Definate Improvement!!! I hate to see how much skinnier your face gets though!!! You should post that in the mini-goal section!!! Great job!!!!

Hehe, once I hit 155 I'm going to post in the mini goal section... that comparison pic will be sure to be included. I want to hit 155 by the end of this month. And thank you for the compliments!

I'm in my goal range, but I still have a little belly pooch. I don't think it's going away. My hips and butt really shrunk; if anything, I wouldn't mind having a somewhat larger butt. The double chin was the first to go for me.

I too have definitely noticed my hips slim downYAY! Actually, its the one part of me that I've noticed shrink most recently. I haven't actually measured but I can tell my clothes are looser at the hips. One weird thing I've noticed is that every time I wake up I can actually feel thinner around my hips, and when I weigh myself I am either a few lbs or oz lighter!! Does anyone else have that feeling too or is it just me????
