Sucks doesn't it, I went to a get together last weekend , I'd lost 26 and not a word was said , kind of discouraging but with you at 40# wow that has to be noticeable ! People are just so into them selves ! Way to go for you though!

thank you all for the kind words, even though we're all online i really appreciate the support andcompassion. i definately did it for me, but it's still nice to be recognized by my friends who've become like family (one I've known since age 8, the other age 13 and the other two I met at age 15. We've all been in school and friend ever since and are 30 now). I'm proud of me and glad others are too

If they've been seeing you regularly, they may not see it at first. But don't worry; they will! Because of the storms, snow, etc, I've been bundled up and actually don't want my neighbors/friends to see me until spring. Then I should blow their minds. Two weeks after surgery, I'd lost 17, and went to a party. Folks said I look good, but I don't think they really saw a change then. But they will. Like you, everyone will see it. Whoo-hoo! Congrats on 40#; I ho...
