When I first started I read on MFP to take your measurements, so I did. I've lost 8 inches off of my waist in 2 1/2 months. Even though my scale is being stubborn and only budging 1 lb per week rather than 2, this was nice encouragment. If you are just starting, take your measurement! You'll be glad you did.

    Go to the fabric store and get one of those soft floppy kinds of tape measure. :wink:

    Yeah I know Tweb, I thought she threw out her husband!!


    Anyway- Lynnie that is so fab! My doctor told me that the scale is nice, but the most important thing is waist to hip ratio. He was more excited about the 7 inches I lost from my waist and 6 from my hips than he was from the # on the scale!

    Keep up the good work, you are beautiful inside and out!!:flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou: :heart:
