It has only been a month

I started my weight loss journey just under a month ago at 277 lbs. I joined a weight loss challenge with my friend where the biggest loser gets $400. Seemed like a good incentive for me to learn to eat healthier and start exercising. I just had a baby in February, so I REALLY need to lose weight to be able to keep up with her once she starts crawling. ANYWAY, when I started this challenge and new way of life, they took our measurements and I was at 243.75 total (chest, ribs, waist, hips, thigh, and arm). Last night was our half way point and if we wanted to, they would measure us to see our progress. I LOST 7 INCHES IN A MONTH!!!!!!!!!! I'm down 13.5 pounds, and two pant sizes. It isn't drastic, but it sure feels good to see that my change in eating habitats are paying off. I haven't been doing much exercise as I have a desk job, and hour commute each way, and of course an infant to care for when I get home, but I have been getting out and walking during lunch everyday.
Oh, and my hubby won't keep his paws off me. That maybe the best reward. :P
