I have a backpack that I use for overnight trips and for my gym bag. It has a bunch of straps on it for hiking, etc. 2 of the straps I never use....One of them is a chest strap that connects the 2 shoulder straps, and the other is a waist strap. I tried the waist strap today for the first time since I bought the bag over a year ago. When I first tried it (over a year ago...and long before I started dieting) the strap didn't dream of connecting.

Today it did. I was able to snap the 2 ends together. It may not be the most glorious 'visual' for most, and I probably still won't use the strap (really no need), but all that matters is I was able to get them to connect.

People have told me that it looks like I am losing weight, and I do notice my clothes fitting better...but this is the first real 'personal confirmation" that I have had. I had lost 20 punds before finding MFP, and have since lost another 10. Only a drop in the bucket to my goal...but every step helps.
