Hopeful that I'm finally seeing a change

I'm trying not to be too optimistic, since it's been such a rough road for the last few months. But today is the first day since just after my son was born (we're talking nearly 10 months) that I've seen a positive change in my body. Since I recovered after my second son was born, I've been hitting the weight loss train hard, but my body has not only refused to lose weight, I've gained weight. There are medical problems, but I have truly been frustrated that my hard work was all for naught.

Finally a few weeks ago I added intense strength training to my mostly cardio workout routine. I'm running 2 or 3 days away, but also weightlifting on alternate days (2-3 days a week). Today, for the first time in nearly a year the scale showed a significant loss from my weigh-in two weeks ago, and most of my measurements showed an inch drop. I'm trying to not get too excited, as I'm still uncertain whats going on internally that's been causing so much trouble. But I did want to share the happy news because I know others are struggling out there too.
