When I was in High school I loved my bus driver!!!...( I didnt start riding in a car until the end of my Soph. year).....and I would still sometimes ride the bus home just to see and talk to her!!!!
A charter bus??.....I spent over 17 hrs riding in one just to get from Corpus to Shreveport......I thought I was in greyhound hell!!!!!!.......
Well, keep up on this 5lb competition!!!!....I know you can do it again!!!!!

I have lost over 20 pounds and noone has noticed, I guess it takes a while. I kinda feel funny telling people I have lost this much, Im afraid they are looking at me thinking...Oh Yeah Where. So I dont know I can tell kinda. I guess we just keep losing and eventually people will see. LOL. Who knows. Anyway darlin I had to look for your journal it was on the second page. Hope your having a fantastic day at work.
 
Personally the first 20 pounds took about 7 weeks. I was losing about 3 pounds a week. Now I run between 2 and 3 when I'm not messing it up! Unfourtunately, when we have alot to lose, it takes longer to see a change. You ever notice when the skinny girls lose 5 pounds you notice immediately.

Back to the bus huh? I dunno how you do it hun! Hope all is well..
As far as people starting to notice... I think its when you buy a new shirt, that is form fitting... then they see your body slimming down under those baggy clothes. I love wearing baggy clothes, I thought it hid my fat, when in reality it makes you look sooo much bigger! So now I take some of my moms clothes when I visit her.... got a cute shirt last weekend! (moms stylish)... This is the first time EVER I would wear moms clothes.... I used to alwyas think they were to tight, when in reality its the size I should be wearing!
