I know the feeling of hiding behind big baggy clothes and hoping no one notices how much weight you've put on. I am finally starting to feel more comfortable wearing clothes that are more my size and started wearing makeup too.
It is a good idea to stop for now, you are so close to your goal weight that weight loss slows down a lot towards the end. Maybe if you stop and stabalize, if you do another round, you can lose those last 10 lbs easier than if you were to keep going. I know my biggest loss was during the first half of the diet. Towards the latter half, weight loss was really slow. I guess our bodies do need a break in between to be able to lose more weight. You're doing great thought.

It's so hard for me to gauge right now because I feel great compared to being 22 pounds heavier. That being said, I know I'm definitely not at my prior skinny weight. When I'm 125, it's a healthy thin weight. I'm fitting into a lot of my clothes but not my skinny clothes yet. I think I'm going to stop this round after my 4 shots and 3 VLCD days are up and then see where I am after P4. I have a feeling that if I kept going, I would barely lose any weight. The one thing I can say about right now is that at least I'm not embarrassed anymore. When I was 22 pounds heavier, I was hiding from everyone and when I was going out, I was wearing things that would hide my body. I thought my behavior was totally transparent and everyone knew my secret but not one person that didn't know I was on a diet has said anything about my weight loss. Maybe they're all being nice but I'd like to believe the fantasy that maybe they couldn't see how much weight I had gained.

Everything has been generally good. I wish I lost more weight but I am definitely thinner and fitting into most of my clothes which is good. Did you do a planned interruption by any chance? I was wanted to read more about that.

How are you doing? Haven't seen you in the group for a bit. Hope things are going well!

Hi! Haven't talked to you in a while, hope all is good!!
