For Lent I gave up the scale, sweets, and fast-food. Here are my results:
MFP SW - 158
March 8th SW - 145
April 24 Weight - 137
GW - 130
Inches 10.5 overall
From March 21st to April 24th
Chest 36 to 35.5
Natural Waist 30 to 29
Belly Button 31 to 30
Pooch (lower abs) 38 to 35
Hips 41 to 39
L. Thigh 24 to 23.5
R. Thigh24 to 23.5
Thighs together 40.5 to 38.5
When I started MFP last year I was in a size 14 pant. Yesterday I bought my first size 8 pants.
This is the only before and after picture I have because I didn't think to take a full body picture. I bought a bikini to work my way into (toning etc.) so I will have before and after pictures then.
I couldn't have done this or continue to do this and be so excited about it without everyone here at MFP!! Cheers and Happy Easter!

Great job!
I also have to agree that the Lenten Scale Diet was a success for me as well.
I lost 4 pounds but I got off the plateau I have been stuck on for a while!
I am at the lowest weight that I have been in years!0 -
