Lana,
You look great! I'm not sure how much you lost, as you still have that same t-shirt on, so it's hiding a lot of space!

Space is good. I am wearing some of the same t-shirts now that I was wearing when I started, they still fit, but they are much longer now!
I agree that looking at the scale and focusing on that is what gets me down too, but I'm happy with how I've done so far. I'm starting finally to lose again after a seven month plateau. Don't know why, but my body is finally letting me lose again, and I've lost about 10 more pounds in the last month or so. Thank heavens.
Just keep on with your healthy eating and exercise at a level you can and it will eventually come off.
I was talking to my Mother the other day and I asked her what her Mother had died from, as I knew that she was never really well, but I didn't know what from. Apparently she had a bad thyroid and your thyroid affects so many things. That was interesting from a health history point of view.
Keep happy!
Mary
