Talking My smile is sooo huge!

I went to a kid's birthday party last night and ran into a friend's husband who I haven't seen in months. He came up to me and said "Hey girl, what have you been doing?" I said "Uh, nothing. How are you?" He said "I mean, you look great. You look like you've lost alot of weight. Especially in your face. How are you doing it?" I WAS SOOO EXCITED!!! This guy is totally health consious and way into looks. It made me feel so good that somebody noticed especially since I was kind of in a funk this week (my TMO and was having a really hard time not cheating.) I'm down to 183 from 198. I started Sept 1st. I have to admit I've cheated a few times. A bite of something here or there, not full meals. My husband has been telling me he has notice a difference too. He wants me to buy different jeans. He says my jeans look really sloppy because they are very big in the butt and legs. My problem is that I still have a big belly so my pants that used to be tight in the belly fit there now, but aren't big so I have to stay with my current size. My mini goal is to go down one pant size. When I do that I will be in heaven.

I really wanted to share my excitment. Good luck to everyone!

Congratulations! You're really doing well. Doesn't it make you feel good when someone whom you haven't seen for awhile notices and makes a nice uplifting comment? Keep up the good work.
