I started my diet and fitness just over 4 weeks ago and I have lost a stone:bigsmile: :drinker:
I look in the mirror and can see a difference, even the love handles that were giving me a problem are going. The picture to the left was taken at my 50th birthday meal in May. That shirt was really stretched over my stomache :ohwell: but it now fits me perfectly again:bigsmile:
The only thing that puzzles me is, when I started my waist measured 46" it now measures 43" I can physically see in the mirror how much thinner I am, but although the weight is dropping the waist size is now static:frown: and I fit a size 40 trousers:huh: Strange:huh:
My aim is to get back into my wedding trousers:bigsmile:

    Yep 14lbs, I always move the tape around till I find the slimmest part:bigsmile: :laugh: I go around the belly button area. I have had people tell me that my waist is where my trouser waistline should sit,:noway: If I wore mine on my waist I'd have a Simon Cowell look:laugh: :bigsmile:

    It's a funny thing. Sometimes the scale gets stuck and you don't lose pounds (sometimes for weeks, which is frustrating) but the measurements keep changing. Sometimes the measurements stay the same but you drop pounds. Sometimes you do your best and diet and exercise and do everything right and still can't make progress for a while, and sometimes you screw up for a weekend and lose 3 pounds. :ohwell:

    It's fun and interesting and sometimes doesn't seem to make sense,,, but if you stick with it and work it you will make progress.
