I got a cute new golf outfit. Everything else hangs on me and I looked like a schlub (golf clothes are expensive). So the girls I play with (we're mixed, men & women) noticed I was losing more weight "YESSS!" And they noticed at book club this week, too.

So today I am laying out some clothes for Las Vegas, and I went shopping in my closet. NOTHING FITS! Everything was so tight before...I was packed in, stuffed in, buttons not buttoned or popped off, gaposis in the bust...now everything is loose. (Even my skin )

THIN FEELS TERRIFIC! I still have a way to go. I "only" lost 6 pounds (so far) this second round, but it was enough to put me out of between-sizes and firmly into size 14. I used to be pushing 20.

For all you newbies out there, if you see this, hang in there and stay with it. It doesn't happen overnight, but in a way it really does--because time passes whether you stay on plan or not. You will feel so much better. I can't tell you how much easier life is not carrying around a >30# sack of potatoes everywhere. You move through space easier, you don't grunt when you stand up or get out of the car, and you don't waddle when you walk. And you look good in your clothes. It's worth it!
