When I started this back in July, I didn't take any measurements. A friend suggested that I take measurements so I started in mid-August. I only check them once a month so I can see some improvement. I checked this morning and I've lost 8 1/2 inches from my waist. I didn't think much of it but then thought to extend the tape measure out to my first measurement to see what the difference looks like. I couldn't believe it. I still think I look the same but it was really shocking to see how much difference 8 1/2 inches makes. It certainly helps keep me motivated.

Thanks and I certainly plan to keep going. It gave me a real boost. My poor husband and daughter were subjected to me walking around with the tape measure around my waist for longer than I probably should have. My daughter's comment, "Yeah, Mom, that's why your pants keep falling off."0
