Slow Progress

Well it seems to be gooing very slow moving with my wt loss. I am feeling overly bloated at times from trying to get the water intake.  I have been staying away from cheese and milk lately and it has been good for my bowels.  HUM I wonder if I have a problem with milk products.  I am taking fiber source 3x aday and mirralx in the evening before bed and things have been much better with my fissure sore just about healed.   Why is it that the number on the scale means so much?  I know I feel good and I wt so much less.  I just can't seem to get passed the scale number and I am finding my self being alittle jealous seeing others wt dropping.  I am exercising and still watching everything I eat.  I can still see and feel my skin changing and my clothes  too, but it is the number on the scale that seems to bother me.
