You're welcome Beth! It keeps me motivated too...

People have noticed on and off at work - but like your situation, when people see me on a daily basis, they get used to the incremental "shrinking" and don't see a big change.

I love when people notice, but mostly I love that my clothes are too big (that is the ones I bought when I porked out).

PS - don't let the stress hit you with over-eating. Know that you're going into a stressful situation and will probably want to snack as an emotional outlet. Just prepare for it. Take those 100-calorie packs, plenty of water, and fresh fruit to have with you.

If you can maintain or walk away from a super stressful environment with only gaining a pound or so - you'll be able to congratulate yourself for handling it superbly. Don't expect too much of yourself!!
