Hooray!

I have been loosing weight at a painstakingly slow pace. I'm only 5' and started out at 130 lbs, and after 4 months of using mfp I am currently 126 lbs. The numbers hardly seem to change on the scale which was starting to discourage me. This weekend I went to visit some family that I haven't seen since before I started using mfp and everyone was making comments about how different I looked and how they noticed the change! It made me feel so good that people have noticed! I forget how 4lbs can make a difference on my short frame!

So hooray!!!

Sometimes it takes someone else's eyes to see the difference.

Super NSV and SV at the same time! Love it! You must feel great!

Outstanding!!!

So happy for you! And I agree with Jcdaniels. We can't often see the changes...others notice right away!

I have a friend that works out ALL the time and she's pretty good about her diet. The scale hasn't moved more than 1 lb in over 6 months, but if you look at her before and after pics the changes are amazing!

Keep it up!

Great NSV! Have you been taking your measurements? That may be a better indicator of your success. I am also 5' 0" and definitely see more progress in inches than pounds!

well done you, and its always great when someone else can see a difference as you don't always feel it in yourself.

Im only 5.1 but i weigh 150 so i have a long way to go yet, but i started out at 159 and like you didn't see much difference until other people started saying it to me.

so keep up the good work

Thank you all so much! It is so true that sometimes we need someone else's eyes to notice the difference! So nice to hear other "shorties" have the same experience too!

Dewgirl - I haven't been tracking my measurements but I think I may start doing that now.

Lynchiebaby - Congrats on your progress so far! It's nice to hear it from people, especially when they don't know that you have been trying to lose!
