I measured my waist at belly button and I lost 3/4 of an inch this month!! I'll take that :happy: It means, overall, that since Sept 29 when I was dx with T2 diabetes I have lost a total of 13 lbs and
1 3/4 inches!! I guess overall, that is good progress for me. I think I'm happier with the 3/4 inch loss than I would have been if I had showed a 2 lb loss :drinker: I know that if the tummy keeps shrinking, the scale will eventually have to follow.

I also noticed that when I did the Strength and Sculpt part of my Biggest Loser video this a.m. I made it through the plie section - which usually I have to take a short break or 2 during, and doing the bridge, I was able to actually lift my leg during part of it. :drinker: So, something is improving even if the scale wants to argue over it!! It will submit to me yet :laugh:

    I know what you mean. My scale doesn't want to cooperate either even though I can fit into a size smaller jeans again so I know I'm doing something right. I finally put my scale in my son's room and told my son to hide it. I'll let the scale come out in a month and see if it wants to show me a lower number. If not, I'm going to punish it for another month. :laugh: :laugh: Keep up the good work You're doing great. :flowerforyou:

    I think I rather have the tape measure go down and the scale stay the same instead of the scale going down and the measurements staying the same.

    Good job on your loss.

    Thanks ladies!! Appreciate the responses - was beginning to think I was being shunned or something :wink:

    Yup - as long as some number somewhere is going down color me happy!

    Punishing the scale . . .hmmmm. I like it, I like it :laugh:
